Water is pouring into a tank at a constant rate. When the tank is full, 10 pumps of equal capacity
empty the tank in 12 hrs, while 15 pumps of the same capacity empty the tank in 6 hrs. In how much
time would 25 pumps of the same capacity empty the tank, if the tank is initially full ? (All the pipes
pouring water into the tank are always open)

Two trains going on a parallel line in opposite directions take 10 seconds to cross each other. But if
they are going in the same direction the longer train crosses the shorter train in 30 seconds. If the
length of the longer train is decreased by 50%, the time taken to cross the shorter train while going in
the same direction decreases by 8 seconds. Find the time taken by the longer train to cross a tunnel
twice its length, if the difference between the length of the trains is 25 m ?

A hoarding is fitted above a building. The height of the building is 12 m. When I took at the lights fitted
on top of the hoarding from a nearby bus stop, the angle of elevation is and when I look at the
top of the building (terrace) from the same bus stop, the angle of elevation is . If the height of a
flat on each floor is equal to the height of the hoarding, what is the maximum number of floors in the
building ? ( )

Sorry for not posting for so long, but there was so much going on, me qualifying for VMC(yay!!) etc..etc… but i’m back(for now) and will be posting!

Due to the fantastic response that i’ve got recently regarding my Vidyamandir post, i think i’m going to expand on my experience there(I dont think i mentioned that i’m a student there did i?? )
well anyways, for all those guys thinking of qualifying next year here are a few tips and tricks (i know how much i needed some during my preperations for the VMC exam)
And alson i’m going to give you readers a free treat, Some actual Questions that appear in the exam!!!

BTW dont try and search for them on the net…you won’t find more than two, i know becoase i did so myself!

So here are those Golden rules that will help you gain entrance
to one of the toughest coaching entrances out there!-

1) Dont rely on NCERT/CBSE if you want to become something in your life, if you do so you will not be capable of anything, those of you in ICSE board are still better of…but only a little.

2) Dont waste your time solving the complete RD Sharma or something like that.

3) Join 100percentiles IITJEE-(your iit exam year eg. my year 2010 ) foundation course, ( i didn’t take it but my friends told me that they are really really good and help a lot in the real exam)!

4)Dont get demoralised….most chances are you wont be able to solve more than 15 questions in the real exam( I solved 22!) but that is enough, The cutoff for ECC is 50/100 and Regular is 70/100

5) Board exams SUCK! A student with 95% may not qualify while a student with 65% may, so never take your board exams as a serious indicator at all, they are only meant to be passed.

6)Believe in your ability(Even if you dont qualify for VMC it doesnt mean you wont for IIT) but if youe taken
non-med under peer or parent pressure then i advise you to leave it, you cant qualify for IIT unless you are
willingly ready to do so.

7) Dont think that you can’t solve a Ques. Questions are meant to be solved, they are made by the examiner in that way

And lastly…but not least HATE the CBSE BOARD for ruining 10 years of your life whithout teaching anything worthwhile!

Ill post the questions pretty soon and will keep posting more so dont worry!
