Answer / harsh
3 hrs=180 mins
suppose time alloted for each que=1 unit
the time alloted to a que other than mathematics=(200-50)
=150 units
since the time spent on a maths question is twice the other
problems, time spent on a maths prob= 50*2=100 units
therefore, 2/5 or [100/(150+100)] of the total time will be
spent on a maths prob
ie 180*(2/5)
=72 mins

Answer / kishore
50 maths ques
150 remaining ques
the time spent on each math ques is twice the remaining
150x+50(2x) = 180 (min)
x= 18/25
total time on maths ques is 50(2x)
50 * 2 * 18/25 = 72min

Answer / ashraf
we assume that X is the time taken for each general question
then the time taken for math problem is 2X
then 150X+50(2X)=3hours
then x=(3*60)/250 min
x=18/25 min
then the time taken for math problem is 2X=2*18/25=36/25

Answer / r.subha
total 200 questions, time duration 3 hours so,1 hour =60 min
so,3 hours=180 mins.
out of 200 questions 50 questions is maths question 150
question is other question.
if you spent x time for 150 question, you spent 2x time for
50 question
so, 50(2x)+150(x)=180
solve ,we got the x value ; x=18/25
150 question 150 x ,we have calculate 150 questions time
so 150(18/25)=108
then total time is 180, we had spent 108 minute for 150
question,so
180-108=72. remaining minute for 50 question is 72

Alok and Bhanu play the following min-max game. Given the expression N = 9 + X + Y – Z where X, Y and Z are variables representing single digits (0 to 9), Alok would like to maximize N while Bhanu would like to minimize it. Towards this end, Alok chooses a single digit number and Bhanu substitutes this for a variable of her choice (X, Y or Z). Alok then chooses the next value and Bhanu, the variable to substitute the value. Finally Alok proposes the value for the remaining variable. Assuming both play to their optimal strategies, the value of N at the end of the game would be
