Answer / pankaj kumar garg

Let the speed of escalator be x steps/sec

then total steps in escalator is 26 + 30x (since the
escalator covers 30x steps while the person covers 26 steps)

Similarly the in the second case the total no of steps is 34
+ 18x

solving both .. 26 + 30x = 34 + 18x

12x = 8 , x = 2/3 therefore steps is 26 + 30*2/3 = 46 steps

Answer / siva

If he walks 26 steps , he requires 30 sec to reach bottom. If he walks 34 steps he requires 18 sec to reach bottom.
So walking (34-26)=8 steps he requires (30-18)= 12 secs.
In one sec he walks ( 8/12)= 2/3 steps
34 steps requires 18 sec
so 2/3* 18 =12
In remaining 18 secs he walks 12 steps 34+12 = 46 steps

Answer / nils

Steps - 26 => 30Sec
Steps - 34 => 18 Sec
=> 8 steps -> 12 sec ....(1)

=> 26 steps -> 39 sec
& 34 steps ->51 sec

So total time without walking it will be 39 + 30 = 51+18
=69 sec

so steps = 48 ....from (1)

You are driving along in your car on a wild, stormy night, it's raining heavily, when suddenly you pass by a bus stop, and you see three people waiting for a bus: An old lady who looks as if she is about to die. An old friend who once saved your life. The perfect partner you have been dreaming about. Which one would you choose to offer a ride to, knowing very well that there could only be one passenger in your car? This is a moral/ethical dilemma that was once actually used as part of a job application. * You could pick up the old lady, because she is going to die, and thus you should save her first; * or you could take the old friend because he once saved your life, and this would be the perfect chance to ! pay him back. * However, you may never be able to find your perfect mate again.
