5.Solution:

An escalator is descending at constant speed. A walks down and
takes 50 steps to reach the bottom. B runs down and takes 90 steps
in the same time as A takes 10 steps. How many steps are visible
when the escalator is not operating?

Sol: Lets suppose that A walks down 1 step / min and
escalator moves n steps/ min
It is given that A takes 50 steps to reach the bottom
In the same time escalator would have covered 50n steps
So total steps on escalator is 50+50n.

Again it is given that B takes 90 steps to reach the bottom and time
taken by him for this is equal to time taken by A to cover 10 steps i.e
10 minutes. So in this 10 min escalator would have covered 10n steps.
So total steps on escalatro is 90 + 10n

Again equating 50 + 50n = 90 +10n we get n = 1
Hence total no. of steps on escalator is 100.
