As one of the
forerunners in the technology front, Tirnop continues to lead the way in products and services in India.
At Tirnop, all programmers are equal in every respect. They receive identical salaries ans also write code
at the same rate.Suppose 12 such programmers take 12 minutes to write 12 lines of code in total. How
long will it take 72 programmers to write 72 lines of code in total?

There are two boxes, one containing 10 red balls and the other containing 10 green balls. You are
allowed to move the balls between the boxes so that when you choose a box at random and a ball at
random from the chosen box, the probability of getting a red ball is maximized. This maximum
probability is
A hare and a tortoise have a race along a circle of 100 yards diameter. The tortoise goes in one direction
and the hare in the other. The hare starts after the tortoise has covered 1/5 of its distance and that too
leisurely. The hare and tortoise meet when the hare has covered only 1/8 of the distance. By what factor
should the hare increase its speed so as to tie the race?

Given a collection of points P in the plane, a 1-set is a point in P that can be separated from the rest by a
line; i.e. the point lies on one side of the line while the others lie on the other side. The number of 1-sets
of P is denoted by n1(P). The maximum value of n1(P) over all configurations P of 10 points in the plane
is

Anoop managed to draw 7 circles of equal radii with their centres on the diagonal of a square such that
the two extreme circles touch two sides of the square and each middle circle touches two circles on
either side. Find the ratio of the radius of the circles to the side of the square.
There are two water tanks A and B, A is much smaller than B. While water fills at the rate of one litre
every hour in A, it gets filled up like 10, 20, 40, 80, 160 .. in tank B. (At the end of first hour, B has 10
litres, second hour it has 20, and so on). If 1/32 of B's volume is filled after 3 hours, what is the total
duration required to fill it completely?
Alok and Bhanu play the following min-max game. Given the expression
N = 12 + X*(Y - Z)
where X, Y and Z are variables representing single digits (0 to 9), Alok would like to maximize N while
Bhanu would like to minimize it. Towards this end, Alok chooses a single digit number and Bhanu
substitutes this for a variable of her choice (X, Y or Z). Alok then chooses the next value and Bhanu, the
variable to substitute the value. Finally Alok proposes the value for the remaining variable. Assuming
both play to their optimal strategies, the value of N at the end of the game would be

The pacelength P is the distance between the rear of two consecutive footprints. For men, the formula,
n/P = 144 gives an approximate relationship between n and P where, n = number of steps per minute
and P = pacelength in meters. Bernard knows his pacelength is 164cm. The formula applies to Bernard's
walking. Calculate Bernard's walking speed in kmph.
Find the approximate angle between the hands of a clock on Oz when the time is 12:40 am.

Planet fourfi resides in 4-dimensional space and thus the currency used by its residents are 3-
dimensional objects. The rupee notes are cubical in shape while their coins are spherical. However the
coin minting machinery lays out
The diameter of the coins should be at least 64mm and not exceed 512mm.
Given a coin, the diameter of the next larger coin is at least 50% greater.
You are asked to design a set of coins of different diameters with these requirements and your goal is to
design as many coins as possible. How many coins can you design?

says "At most n of the statements on this sheet are false". Which statements are true and which are
false?
The odd numbered statements are true and the even numbered are false.
The even numbered statements are true and the odd numbered are false.
Ferrari S.p.A. is an Italian sports car manufacturer based in Maranello, Italy. Founded by Enzo Ferrari in
1928 as Scuderia Ferrari, the company sponsored drivers and manufactured race cars before moving
into production of street-legal vehicles in 1947 as Ferrari S.p.A.. Throughout its history, the company has
been noted for its continued participation in racing, especially in Formula One, where it has enjoyed
great success. Rohit once bought a Ferrari. It could go 2 times as fast as Mohit's old Mercedes. If the
speed of Mohit's Mercedes is 32 km/hr and the distance travelled by the Ferrari is 952 km, find the total
time taken in hours for Rohit to drive that distance.
