50mangoes means 49gaps.1,3,5,7-----------------sum of all gaps gives distance to be walked=n/2[2a+(n-1)d]=49/2[2+48*2]=49*49=2401yards

A C-pole of 200 ft is 250 ft from the D-pole which is 150 ft high.. Two pigeons are sitting at the top of each poles (one in one pole).Both pigeon fly towards a grain which is present between the 2poles at the same speed.What is the distance between the C-pole and the grain?
Himanshu
- Dec 5th, 2005
Ans. 90ft
Sachin_kl
- Dec 1st, 2005
Answer must be 90 Ft.Lets say grain is x ft away from C. As both pegions have to travel same distance we can use pythagorus theorem to solve it.200*200 + x*x = 150*150 + (250-x)*(250-x)x=90
