Amol and Vipul are walking towards each other at speeds of 5 km/h and 10 km/h respectively. The distance between
them is 120 km. Amol and Vipul use a pigeon to carry messages for each other while they are travelling and the pigeon
travels to and fro starting from Vipul, with a speed of 20 km/h. Initially, Amol, Vipul as well as the pigeon start at the
same instant. Also, whenever it reaches any person, it stays with him for 12 minutes until the response to the earlier
message carried is tied, while both Amol and Vipul keep walking. Find the number of trips made by the bird till Amol
and Vipul meet each other. (Travelling from one person to the other once is one complete trip).

A fly is sitting inside a hemispherical cage right on the centre of its base. In its attempt to escape from the cage, it flies
towards the hemispherical surface at an angle 60o with respect to the horizontal and on hitting the hemispherical
surface, turns and flies parallel to the base for the longest distance possible before hitting the curved surface again.
Then it turns and returns to its original position by flying at an angle 60 o with respect to the horizontal. If the volume of
the cage is 19404 cm3, find the total distance travelled by the fly?

Note: The flight of the fly is always along a straight line.
