Solution:

Since there are 100 logicians, the lights are turned on and off hundred times and after the 100th time, all the logicians leave the room.

If all of them sees 99 black foreheads, the lights get turned off. When the light is turned on again, everyone is able to see 99 black foreheads again. This happens 100 times and then every logician leaves the room.

Let us make it more simplified for you. Assume that only one person has a black forehead. The people who invited them said that at least one person has a black forehead and as they turn off the lights, that logician leaves.

Imagine the scenario with two logicians having black forehead. One of the logician sitting there must be thinking "I have a black forehead or I don't have a black forehead. If I am not the one with black forehead, the other logician with black forehead will deduce that he is having a black forehead and then he will leave."

"If I don't have a black forehead, the other logician will stay and thus I must be having a black forehead as well. Thus we must leave when the lights are turned off for the second time"

When you repeat the logic to 100 times, you will get the answer.

Solution:

The question can practically disarm you. But we promise by the time you read the solution, you will find that it was way easy than you were thinking.

Let us name the boxes with a number - Box1, Box 2..., Box10. Now you must be familiar with the weights of the balls precisely. By saying that we are not implying that you will have to take one ball from every box and judge the weight of every ball.

What you have to do is pick one ball from Box 1, 2 balls from Box 2, 3 balls from Box 3, ...., 10 balls from Box 10. Thus after taking balls from every box in such a manner, you will finally have 55 balls in total. There comes the time to use the weighing machine.

If all the balls were weighing adequate, the combined weight should be 55 x 10 grams = 550 grams. But since one of the box has defected balls, the weight will be less than that. Here is the tricky part and explains why we took different number of balls from each box.

If the total weight is less than 1 gram, then the defective box is the Box 1 since we took 1 ball from that box. If the Box 2 is defective, the total weight will be less than 2 grams. In similar fashion you can identify the defective box by analyzing the total weight that is calculated by the weighing machine.

Solution:

Calculate the LCM of 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 seconds.
The outcome will be 120 seconds.

Thus at 2 minutes, it rings once.

Which means that the bells will ring 15 times in the 30 minutes.

But wait that will be an incorrect answer as the bells will also ring together in the 0th second.

Which means the bells toll together 15 + 1 = 16 times.

Solution:

122 (58+64)

Explanation:
It contains two series
5 13 29 61
and
10 26 58

First series in incremented by 8 16 32
and
second series in incremented by 16 32 and 64(our solution)

Solution:

25 seconds

Explanation:
Machine X manufactures 120/40 = 3 microchips every second
Machine Y produces 100/20 = 5 microchips per second
Combined productivity per second = 3 + 5 = 8
Hence seconds required to manufacture 200 bolts = 200/8 = 25 seconds
