RE: Puzzle of the day
How did you arrive your figure, I am getting it as 1280 yards... speed of boy = a speed of girl = b distance between = d at first intercept: Time taken = 720/b = (d - 720)/a at second intercept: Time taken = (2d - 400)/b = (d + 400)/a (As 10 mins is taken for both, it is neglected.) Therefore, b/a = 720/(d - 720) = (2d - 400)/(d + 400) Solving, d = 1280 yards From: kamran [mailto:mk.ans...@eil.co.in] Sent: Monday, October 25, 2010 1:18 PM To: Shenoy, Sheshagiri B; BETTER_PERSONALITY@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Puzzle of the day Importance: High 1120 yards -With Best Regards Mohd Kamran Ansari Engineer MRPL Task Force [cid:489493010@25102010-1175] Ph. 26102121 I.Com : 3205 E-mail : mk.ans...@eil.co.in From: better_personality@googlegroups.com [mailto:better_personal...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Shenoy, Sheshagiri B Sent: 2010-10-24 12:31 To: BETTER_PERSONALITY@googlegroups.com Subject: Puzzle of the day One dairy farmer sent off his boy with a message to the melon farmer down the road, and at the same time the melon farmer sent his girl off with a message to the dairy farmer.

Puzzle for the day
Mr. Lal was having an early walk. He had just crossed a bridge when he saw a crowd of people. Rushing to them, he found that they were crowding around a dead woman. Lal was a famous detective. He took the case and started his investigation. The woman seemed to have come for an early walk, too. Seeing her handbag lying nearby, Lal ruffled through it and found what he wanted - her identity card. Her name was Lakshmi, and her house was about a ten minute drive away. Her number was also written on her card. Lal phoned the given number. Is this Lakshmi's residence? Yes. And I am her husband. What do you want? Sir, your wife is dead. What! No way! Sir, come here quickly. About ten minutes later, a car pulled up. The husband got down, and on seeing the woman, rushed to her and started crying. Lal was about to console him when something flashed in his mind. He quickly had the husband arrested. Can you tell why..?BLOCKED::http://groups.yahoo.com/group/r_e_a_c_h_o_u_t/join DISCLAIMER: Notice : This e-mail and any attachments may contain information which is confidential to the addressee and may also be privileged.
