Medium
Consider the polynomials $f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c$, where $a > 0, b, c$ are real, $g(x) = -2x$. If $f(x)$ cuts the x-axis at $(-2, 0)$ and $g(x)$ passes through $(a, b)$, then the minimum value of $f(x) + 9a + 1$ is
Medium
In a city, 50% of the population can speak in exactly one language among Hindi, English and Tamil, while 40% of the population can speak in at least two of these three languages. Moreover, the number of people who cannot speak in any of these three languages is twice the number of people who can speak in all these three languages. If 52% of the population can speak in Hindi and 25% of the population can speak exactly in one language among English and Tamil, then the percentage of the population who can speak in Hindi and in exactly one more language among English and Tamil is
Easy
A train left point A at 12 noon. Two hours later, another train started from point A in the same direction. It overtook the first train at 8 PM. It is known that the sum of the speeds of the two trains is 140 km/hr. Then, at what time would the second train overtake the first train, if instead the second train had started from point A in the same direction 5 hours after the first train? Assume that both the trains travel at constant speeds.
