Speed Needed For Run on Bridge


Why to calculate the speed?

If the man turns back and runs towards A for 3/8 of distance while train reaches at the point A. That means the train train reaches at point A when man runs for 3/8 distance.

So if man continues to run towards point B then, while he covers 3/8 distance the train reaches at point A. Now, man is 3/8 + 3/8 = 6/8 = 3/4 distance away from the point A where B is 1/4 away from him now.



Again, we know, the train will overtake the man at point B covering total distance between A and B. Till then man can run only 1/4 th distance between A and B to reach B.That mean the train must be 4 times faster than the speed of man.

Since, train is traveling at 60 mph, the speed of man = (1/4)x60 = 15 mph.

The Case of Fourth Mystery Number

There is a ten-digit mystery number (no leading 0), represented by ABCDEFGHIJ, where each numeral, 0 through 9, is used once. 
Given the following clues, what is the number?

1) B + C + F + J = E + G + H + I = AD
2) B - H = J - G = 3
3) C - F = E - I = 5
4) B * I = AJ
