ANSWER- 25 Fruits
EXPLANATION-
Remember I told you that Birbal is a witty trader. So his sole motive is to get rid of the sacks as fast as he can.For the first sack:
He must be able to fill fruits from one sack to other two sacks. Assume that he is able to do that after M check points. Now to find M,(Space in first sack) M + (Space in second sack) M = (Remaining fruits in Third Sack) 30 – M
M = 10Thus after 10 checkpoints, Birbal will be left with only 2 sacks containing 30 fruits each.
Now he must get rid of the second sack.For that, he must fill the fruits from second sack to the first sack. Assume that he manages to do that after N checkpoints.
(Space in First Sack) N = (Remaining fruits in second sack) 30 – N
N = 15Thus after he has crossed 25 checkpoints, he will be left be one sack with 30 fruits in it. He has to pass five more checkpoints where he will have to give five fruits and he will be left with twenty five fruits once he has crossed all thirty check points.

Answer – 1 unit
EXPLANATION-
Let the four dogs be
A, B, C and D ( In which A is chasing B, B is chasing C, C is chasing D and D is chasing A)All the dogs will eventually meet in the center of the square. Since all the dogs move in symmetry, the only logical answer to the location of their meeting is the center of the square.
At any point in time, dog A is perpendicular to dog B and B perpendicular to C and so on. Dog A moves towards dog B but dog B does not move towards or away from dog A since it is moving perpendicular to dog A. Therefore, the distance that dog A needs to cover to reach dog B is the same as the original distance between them, one unit.
The speed of each of the dog towards the dog it is chasing is given by (1 + cos(t)) where t is the angle on each corner of the square.
Speed of dog = 1 + cos(90) = 1 + 0 = 1
Time needed = Distance/Speed = 1 / 1 = 1 unit.- 6728 views

Speed of the train – 30 miles per hour
Explanation:
Its a hint- each boy managed to escape the train at the exact instant in which the train would have hit and killed himLet A is running toward the train and B is moving in opposite direction.
So,
The distance which A has to cover=1-2/3=1/3
The distance which B has to cover=2/3
and
speed of A and B is same hence A and B will cover the same distance 1/3,
A just escaped when train is at the entrance of the tunnel hence remaining distance for B is 2/3-1/3=1/3Now,
B will cover 1/3 and train will cover 2/3 for the hint line to be true.
Hence,
Train will run 3 times faster then B
and B is running at 10miles per hour so, train will run at 30 miles per hour.- 4263 views

ANSWER – 45
EXPLANATION-
First term: 10
second term: 10*(1/2)+5=10
third term: 10*(1)+10=20
fourth term: 20*(3/2)+15=45
fifth term: 45*(2)+20=110
sixth term: 110*(5/2)+25=300
seventh term: 300*(3)+30=300Middle term increases by 0.5
Third term increases by 5.
The answer from of each term is used as the first term for obtaining next term.So the value of X is 45
