The closed circulatory system is more efficient. Since blood circulates only inside blood vessels it can do it with more pressure reaching farther distances between the organs where hematosis happens and the peripheral tissues. In addition the circulatory speed also heightens making possible more oxygen supply to great consuming tissues, like the muscle tissues that then can perform faster movements. Animals with an open circulatory system (with the exception of insects that do gas exchange independently from the circulation) are generally slower and have a low metabolic rate.

Description : A cistern is filled by three faucets with uniform flow. The first two faucets operating simultaneously fill the cistern in the same during which the cistern is filled by the third faucet alone. The second faucet fills the cistern ... by the first faucet is? A) 6 hrs B) 10 hrs C) 15 hrs D) 30 hrs

Last Answer : C Suppose, first faucet alone takes x hours to fill the cistern. Then, second and third faucets will take (x - 5) and (x - 9) hours respectively to fill the cistern. 1/x + 1/(x - 5) = 1/(x - 9) (2x - 5)(x - 9) = x(x - 5) x2 - 18x + 45 = 0 (x- 15)(x - 3) = 0 => x = 15

Two passenger trains are running in the same direction on parallel tracks at 210km/hr and 150km/hr respectively. The faster train passes a man 81 sec faster than the slower train. Find the length of the faster train. A) 1250m B) 1150m C) 1350m D) 1450m

Description : Two passenger trains are running in the same direction on parallel tracks at 210km/hr and 150km/hr respectively. The faster train passes a man 81 sec faster than the slower train. Find the length of the faster train. A) 1250m B) 1150m C) 1350m D) 1450m

Last Answer : ANSWER: C  Explanation:  Speed of 1st train = 210km/hr  Speed of 2nd train = 150km/hr  Here the two passenger trains are running in same direction, so  Relative speed = (210 - 150)km/hr  = 60km ... faster train = relative speed * time taken by train to pass  = 50/3 * 81  = 1350m

Two trains A and B are moving in opposite directions at 180 km/hr and 270 km/hr. their lengths are 3.30 km and 2.7 km respectively. The time taken by the slower train to cross the faster train in second is. A) 48sec B) 13 sec C) 38sec D) 24sec

Description : Two trains A and B are moving in opposite directions at 180 km/hr and 270 km/hr. their lengths are 3.30 km and 2.7 km respectively. The time taken by the slower train to cross the faster train in second is. A) 48sec B) 13 sec C) 38sec D) 24sec

Last Answer : ANSWER: A Explanation: Speed of 1st train = 180 km/hr  Speed of 2nd train = 270 km/hr  Relative speed = (180 + 270)km/hr  = 450 km/hr  = (450 * 5 / 180)m/s  = (2250 / 18)m/s  =125 m/s  Distance covered = (3.30 + 2.70)km  = 6km = 6000m  Required time = 6000 / 125  = 48sec
