He hears the bird singing on step 33. He picks up the pebble on the 21st step and tosses it on the 22nd step. The remaining 27 steps are taken three at a time which is 9 pac

Solution:

Suppose that we have B buses at present and S refers to the space before we expanded. This implies that
S = B - 12 ----- [1]

When we expanded, we came up with more space. It can be equated as
S + 0.4 x S = B + 12 ------ [2]

Rewriting the equation we get
1.45 = B + 12
Also, B = 1.45 - 12 ----- [3]

The first equation can also be written as
B = S + 12 ----- [4]

If we equate the third and fourth equation, we will have
1.4 S - 12 = S + 12

Let us subtract S from both the sides
0.4 S - 12 = 12

Adding 12 to both sides
0.4 S = 24

Multiplying by ten and dividing by four on both sides
S = 60

If we insert this value in the fourth equation, we will have
B = 72

Thus there are 72 buses.

Initially we had room for 60 buses after expanding the garage space by 40 percent, we will be having enough room to have 84 buses out of which twelve is for future.

Solution:

Start singing the Happy Birthday song and the lion will run towards the candle and blow it.

Solution:

Let the speed of red ant be R.
Speed of Black ant be B.
Time at which they cross their paths be T.

Now we will apply the basic formula of distance
Distance = Speed * Time

The Red ant travels R * T distance before meeting and R * 20 after meeting.
The Black ant travels B * T distance before meeting and B * 5 after meeting.

Now as per the question,
The distance traveled by red ant before they both meet will be equal to the distance covered by black ant after they meet. We can say the same for the vice versa case as well.

Thus
R * T = B * 5 and B * T = R * 20

Using both the quations
T = 10

Thus the red ant will require 10 + 20 = 30 seconds to travel the distance.
And the black ant will take 10 + 5 = 15 seconds to travel the distance.

Solution:

Pick 1st.

Explanation:
> Take 1 coin
> Pick the opposite number of coins from the other soldier i.e if other soldier pick 1 coin, you pick 2 and if he picks 2 coins you pick one
> After 15 moves, coins remaining will be 23 - 1 - 7(2+1) = 1
> The other solider need to pick the last and he will loose.
