GIVE ME ANSWERS QUICKLY !
OPEN SIMCAT (HELD ON 5TH NOV. 2006)– SECTION 1 : RC (ENGLISH)
Harry, Ron and Harmione were in their third yeqar at the Hogwarts School of Wichcraft and Wizady. Everyday they would have a lunch break from 12.00 p.m. to 1.00 p.m. immediately followed by a one-hour lecture on “Potions” by Prfessor Severus Snape. One day, they received an urgent message from their friend Hagrid in the morning saying that he had a surprise for them. Harry and Ron suggested that they should visit his place in the Enchanted Forest during the lunch break. Hermione tried hard to dissuade them as it would be against the school rules. But finally she gave in and decided to go with them.
At the start of the lunch break, they ran immediately from ther class, and reached Hagrid’s house which was a kilometer away, at 12.20 p.m. . Hagrid was excited to see them.
“There you are, finally!!”, shouted Hagrid, “I just can’t wait to show you this!”
They stared in disbelief as Hagrid showed them a tiny dragon that he intented to keep as a pet.
“You’re out of your mind, Hagrid!”, shouted Ron and Harry at once, “Dragons are DANGEROUS !!”.
“It’s against the rules, Hagrid”, said Hermione, “The ministry just won’t allow it !”
This created a commotion. They got caught up in a fiery discussion, and totally lost track of time.
When Harry looked at his watch, it was exactly 1.00 p.m. . “Snape is surely going to kill us !”, he shouted. The three of them run as fast as their legs could carry them. When they reached their class, the angle between the hour hand and the minute hand was 36 degrees. “you’re a shame to Hogwarts !” roared Snape, “See me after the class in the detention room”.
As a punishment, Harry, Ron and Hermione were each given an equal number of blank sheets. They were assigned the work of filling all the shets by copying from the book. “Magical Herbs and Fungi”. Each of them started filling the sheets one by one at uniform speed, i.e., taking the same time for each sheet. After 40 minutes, Hemione had filled all her sheets, but the others hadn’t. So Hemione and Ron together started filling Ron’s remaining sheets. Exactly after 10 minutes, all the three of them stopped writing, as all the sheets were filled.
What they did not realize was that Snape had tricked Harry into doing more work. He had cast a magic spell on Harry’s sheets so that after every 7 sheets that Harry filled, one blank sheet was automatically added to his pile of sheets. Harry had not noticed it and had filled all the added sheets too.
Although they were tried after all the work, they were too worried about Hagrid. So they ran back into the forest to see how he was getting along with the Norwegian dragon that he was trying to tame.
NOTE : When any one of them starts filling a sheet, he/she has to complete it without taking a break or giving the sheet to anyone else.
QUESTIONS :-

1] 6 mins 40 secs
2] 11 mins
3] 12 mins
4] 13 mins 12 secs
2) What should have been their speed while running back to class, so that their average speed (on the to and fro journey) would have been 20 % more than what it was?
[Assume the “to and fro” distance to be the same.]
1] 6.4 kmph
2] 4.5 kmph
3] 6.6 kmph
4] 9 kmph
3) What is the ratio of the sheets filled by Ron to those filled by Hemione?
1] 1 : 4
2] 4 : 5
3] 3 : 5
4] 2 : 3
4) If Harry had been initially given 80 sheets, how many sheets would he have eventually had to fill because of Snape’s magic spell?
1] 91
2] 92
3] 93
4] 94
5) If Harry’s writing speed is 11/12 times Hermione’s speed, which of these could be a possible number of sheets that three of them were initially given?
1] 96
2] 55
3] 48
