The speed of Bangalore-Mysore train is TWICE the speed of Mysore-Bangalore train.
EXPLANATION-
Let the time required to reach the meeting point is t
Speed of Bangalore-Mysore train be U
Speed of Mysore-Bangalore train be V
So,
The meeting point would be at a distance of u*t and v*t from the two stations.
Now according to the given condition
u*t = v*4
and
v*t = u*1
on taking the ratio of these 2 equations,
we have,
u/v = 4v/u
u/v = 2/1Hence, the speed of Bangalore-Mysore train is TWICE the speed of Mysore-Bangalore train.

The answer is 301
EXPLANATION-
Condition 1 – When she put the eggs in groups of two, three, four, five, and six there was one egg left over
Since there was one egg left when packed in 2,3,4,5,6, we need to find the LCM (lowest common multiple) of 2,3,4,5,6 and add one to get the least possible answer, THat is 60+1=61.
Moreover, we can easily figure that 60x+1 will always satisfy the first 5 conditions, where x is a positive integer.Condition 2- when she put them in groups of seven they ended up in complete groups with no eggs left over
To satisfy this condition, we have to find the least value of X such that 60x+1 is divisible by 7.That is,
(60x+1)%7 = 0 Where % is modWhen,
x=1 —–> 61 % 7 = 5
x=2 —–>121 % 7 = 2
x=3 —–>181 % 7 = 6
x=4 —–>241 % 7 = 3
x=5 —–>301 % 7 = 0 —- SATISFIEDHence, 301 eggs is the Minimum Number of eggs.
NOTE-
While there are many possible answers satisfies this equation (60x+1)%7 = 0

A is Salman and time is afternoon
EXPLANATION-
Now here in this question let us suppose A is Ranveer ,

So , the time is afternoon and the person is Salman a/c to this scenario.Now , suppose A is salman , now he is saying that the other guy is Ranveer , so he is saying the truth so it must be Afternoon and A is Salman as we assumed.
So , in both scenarios A is Salman and time is afternoon hence it is the answer

The next number in sequence is 1113213211.
EXPLANATION-
The sequence goes like
You need to spell the no of digits.e.g. take the no 1,11,21
Take 1. it spells as one 1 so we get the no 11,
take 11 we spell it as two ones‘ and we get 21.so take the last given no in the sequence 13112221 so we spell it as one 1 one 3 two 1 three 2’s one 1.
So the next no in sequence is 1113213211.This answer accepted by MrPuzzleFry. on 12th September 2015 Earned 20 points.

(99/.99) = 100
99 + (9/9) = 100((9*9) + 9)/.9 = 100(9/.9) * (9/.9) = 100(99-9)/.9 = 100
