Mr. Shah decided to walk down the escalator of a tube
station. He found that if he walks down 26 steps, he
requires 30seconds toreach the bottom. However, if he steps
down 34 stairshe would onlyrequire 18 seconds to get to the
bottom. If the timeis measured fromthe moment the top step
begins to descend to thetime he steps offthe last step at
the bottom, find out the height ofthe stair way in steps?
Answer Posted / 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

Q.19 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 27 18 20 Answer is: 20 can someone plzzzzzzzzz tell me how this answer is calculeted???
