Puzzle
There are a 1000 locks in closed position. 1000 children numbering 1 to 1000 approach the lock one by one. The rule is the child (say with number 'n') can open or close the lock numbering in multiples of "n" only.
so the child in number one position can open all the locks. Child number 2 will be able to close all the locks in multiples of 2 (like 2, 4, 6 .... upto 1000). The other locks will remain as they are.
After all the 1000 children have had their chance, how many locks will be in open position.

distance and speed
Nanu travels at 54 km/hr excluding stoppages and at 45 km/hr including stoppages. How many minutes of stoppage is there in an hour?
Answer:
Basis : 1 hour
let distance to be covered be 54 km
so, distance covered with stoppages = 45 km
shortfall in distance covered = 54 - 45 = 9 km
time taken to cover 9 km = 9/54 = 1/6 hour
so, minutes of stoppage per hour = 60 x 1/6 = 10 mins
