Assume for a moment that the earth is a perfectly uniform
sphere of radius 6400 km. Suppose a thread equal to the
length of the circumference of the earth was placed along
the equator, and drawn to a tight fit.
Now suppose that the length of the thread is increased by 12
cm, and that it is pulled away uniformly in all directions.
By how many cm. will the thread be separated from the
earth's surface?

Answer / guest
The cicumference of the earth is
= 2 * PI * r
= 2 * PI * 6400 km
= 2 * PI * 6400 * 1000 m
= 2 * PI * 6400 * 1000 * 100 cm
= 1280000000 * PI cm
where r = radius of the earth, PI = 3.141592654
Hence, the length of the thread is = 1280000000 * PI cm
Now length of the thread is increasd by 12 cm. So the new
length is = (1280000000 * PI) + 12 cm
This thread will make one concentric circle with the earth
which is slightly away from the earth. The circumfernce of
that circle is nothing but (1280000000 * PI) + 12 cm
Assume that radius of the outer circle is R cm
Therefore,
2 * PI * R = (1280000000 * PI) + 12 cm
Solving above equation, R = 640000001.908 cm
Radius of the earth is r = 640000000 cm
Hence, the thread will be separatedfrom the earth by
= R - r cm
= 640000001.908 - 640000000
= 1.908 cm

Answer / superpogi
R = old radius
R' = new radius
x = 12 cm
old length = 2piR
new length = 2piR' = 2piR + x
R' = R + x/(2pi)
separation = x/(2pi) = 12/(2pi) = 1.91 cm

Answer / roop anand
radius=6400000cm
circumference=2*pi*r
=2*3.14*6400000
=40192000cm
length is elongated by 12cm..
so circumference is increased br 12cm..
2*pi*r=40192000+12
=40192012cm
the new radius = 2*pi*r/2*pi
=40192000/2*(3.14)
=6400001.911
therefore the length of the distance its seperated from the
surface is = 6400001.911-640000
=1.911cm

Outside a room there are three light switches. Each switch is connected to a different light bulb inside the room. Each of the three switches can be either 'ON' or 'OFF'. You are allowed to set each switch the way you want it, once, and then enter the room. Your task is to then determine which switch controls which bulb. How can you do it?

Sachin, Dravid and Ganguly played in a Cricket match between India and England. ? None of them scored more than 99 runs. ? If you add the digits of the runs scored by Sachin to his own score, you will get the runs scored by Dravid. ? If you reverse the digits of the runs scored by Dravid, you will get the runs scored by Ganguly. ? The total runs scored by them is 240. Can you figure out their individual scores?
Veeru says to Jay, "Can you figure out how many Eggs I have in my bucket?"

A woman took a certain number of eggs to the market and sold some of them. The next day, through the industry of her hens, the number left over had been doubled, and she sold the same number as the previous day. On the third day the new remainder was tripled, and she sold the same number as before. On the fourth day the remainder was quadrupled, and her sales the same as before. On the fifth day what had been left over were quintupled, yet she sold exactly the same as on all the previous occasions and so disposed of her entire stock. What is the smallest number of eggs she could have taken to market the first day, and how many did she sell daily? Note that the answer is not zero.
