IQ Question

IQ Question:

Suppose there are 100 people standing in a circle ??. 

The first person?? has a gun?? in hand. What he has to do is shoot the second person and then pass the gun to the third person. Now, the third person kills the fourth person and gives gun to the fifth person.

This process is carried till there is only one person surviving ??.
Can you find out who survives at the end.

Solution :  73rd person

Here's the generalized formula to find the solution for N people:

Find the largest integer 'k' such that 2k≤N
The answer is then: 2∗[N−2k]+1

In this case, N = 100. The largest  integral k is 6, as 26=64, and 27=128

Thus, the answer is 2∗(100−26)+1=73, i.e. the 73rd person will be left standing


Explanation  :

This was my reasoning (there may very well be a neater solution):

It's easy to see that as long as the number of people is a multiple of 2, after a complete round, the gun will return to the person numbered "1" [i.e. 1 kills 2, then 3 kills 4, then 5 kills 6, ....... 99 kills 100 ... and the gun returns to 1]. Also, the number of people left after a round is reduced to half.

Thus, if the total number of people is a power of 2, the number of people left after each round is a multiple of 2. And hence, the last person to remain would be "1". 

With that in mind, we try to reduce the number of people (from 100) to a power of 2. What's the closest such power? 64. To get to this number, we need to kill 100-64 = 36 people.

Now, in the first round, the first 36 people to be killed would be: 2,4,6,8,....72. Thus, after 36 kills, the 73rd person would be handed over the gun.

Starting with the 73rd person (our new number "1"), we continue the game. Note that there are 64 people left now. Since this is a power of 2, the gun will keep returning to him/her after every round. Thus, (s)he would ultimately be the lone survive.

The logic, when generalized to N people, results in the formula mentioned above.

A swimming pool has four faucets

A swimming pool has four faucets.



They fill the pool in following times :
1. The first can fill the entire pool with water in two days,
2. The second in three days,
3. The third in four days, and
4. The last one can fill the pool in 6 hours.

How long will it take to fill the pool using all 4 faucets together?



Solution :  4 hours 43 minutes and about 17 seconds.

Explanation:
Since there are 24 hours in one day,
in one hour first tap fills 1/48, 
the second tap 1/72, 
the third tap 1/96 and 
the fourth tap fills 1/6 of the Pool. 
That is all together (6+4+3+48) / 288 = 61/288. 

The Pool will be full in 288/61 hours, which is 4 hours 43 minutes and about 17 seconds.

ANAHAT'S VOWELS PUZZLE

ANAHAT'S VOWELS PUZZLE :


January = 101025
February = 6525
March = 13188
April = 1912
May = 13125
June = 10215
July = ?





Solution : 102125


First letter count in the alphabet is first digit 
i.e. J = 10

Last letter count in the alphabet is first digit 
i.e. Y = 25

Now see this logic
January -- First Vowel  is 'a' so middle digit is 1 (but repeated so 10)
February -- First Vowel  is 'e' so middle digit is 5
March -- First Vowel  is 'a' so middle digit is 1
April -- First Vowel  is 'i' so middle digit is 9
May -- First Vowel  is 'a' so middle digit is 1
June -- First Vowel  is 'u' so middle digit is 21

July -- First vowel is u so middle digit is 21


Hence number for July is 102125

Chain Making Puzzle

Chain Making Puzzle:



There are 5 metal rings...

I want to join them and make a chain as shown in the image.

It involves cutting and welding(joining) the metal rings.

Cutting the ring cost Rs10/- for each cut.
Welding the ring cost Rs20/- for each join.

What is the minimum cost to make the chain ?




Solution:

Answer:
The minimum cost is Rs.60

Explanation:
We only need to cut and weld the 2nd and 4th ring.
So cutting cost Rs.10 = 2 x 10 = Rs.20
Welding cost Rs.20 = 2 x 20 = Rs.40

Hence Total cost = 20+40 = Rs.60

Dog , Cat and Rabbit Puzzle 
Give me answer of this question ?
Cat + Rabbit = 10 kg
Dog + Rabbit = 20 kg
Dog + Cat = 24 kg
Dog + Cat + Rabbit  = ?? kg

Answer with Explanation :
Lets say rabbit, cat and dog’s weight are R,C and D respectively.
Then by the given data :
Equation 1: R + C = 10
Equation 2: D + R = 20
Equation 3: C + D = 24
Now we need to find the value of C + R + D
On adding Equation 1,2 and 3
2R + 2C + 2D = 54
R + C + D = 27


Hence Weight of Rabbit + Cat + Dog = 27 kg

If you count in pairs, one remain

If you count in threes, two remain

If you count in fours, three remain

If you count in fives, four remain

If you count in sixes, five remain
