q: A train running at the speed of 60 km/hr crosses a pole in 6 sec. What is the length of the train?
Options:
(A) 356
(B) 278
(C) 127
(D) 100
(E) 150
a: Stream of consciousness: Speed = 60 * 5/18 = 50/3 m/sec
Length of the train = speed * time = 50/3 * 6 = 100 m The answer is (D).

answer: Stream of consciousness: I = (500*9*6)/100 = 270 The answer is (B).


q: If X is the sum of first 20 positive even integers and Y is the sum of first 20 positive odd integers, what is the value of x-y?
Please try to explain your answers
Options:
(A) 0
(B) 20
(C) 50
(D) 75
(E) 100
a: Stream of consciousness: First even minus first odd = 2-1 = 1;
The sum of first 2 even integers minus the sum of first 2 odd integers = (2+4)-(1+3) = 2;
The sum of first 3 even integers minus the sum of first 3 odd integers = (2+4+6)-(1+3+5) = 3;
We can see the patterns here, so the sum of first 20 positive even integers minus the sum of first 20 positive odd integers will be 20. The answer is (B).
