Description : The distance between two cities A and B is 330km. A train starts from A at 8 (a)m. and travels towards B at 60 km/hr. Another train starts from B at 9 (a)m. and travels towards A at 75 km/hr. At what time do they meet? a) 10 am. b) 10 : 30 am. c) 11 am. d) 11 : 30 am. e) None of these

Last Answer : Distance travelled by first train in one hour = 60 x 1 = 60 km Therefore, distance between two train at 9 a.m. = 330 – 60 = 270 km Now, Relative speed of two trains = 60 + 75 = 135 km/hr Time of meeting of two trains =270/135=2 hrs. Therefore, both the trains will meet at 9 + 2 = 11 A.M. Answer: c)

Description : The distance between two cities A and B is 330 km. A train starts from A at 8 a.m. and travels towards B at 60 km/hr. Another train starts from B at 9 a.m. and travels towards A at 75 km/hr. At what time do they meet? A.10:30 am B.10:45 am C.11 am D.11:25 am E.None of these

Last Answer : Answer – C (11 am) Explanation – Suppose they meet x hrs after 8 a.m. Then, (Distance moved by first in x hrs) + [Distance moved by second in (x-1) hrs] = 330 60x + 75(x – 1) = 330 x = 3 So, they meet at (8 + 3), i.e. 11 a.m

Description : Two schoolgirls were traveling from the city to a dacha (summer cottage) on an electric train.'I notice,' one of the girls said 'that the dacha trains coming in the opposite direction pass us every 5 ... because 60 divided by 5 equals 12.'The first girl did not agree. What do you think? -Riddles

Last Answer : If the girls had been on a standing train, the first girl's calculations would have been correct, but their train was moving. It took 5 minutes to meet a second train, but then it took the second train ... the time between trains is 10 minutes, not 5, and only 6 trains per hour arrive in the city.

Description : Two trains of equal length are running on parallel lines in the same direction at 46 km/hr and 36 km/hr. The faster train passes the slower train in 36 seconds. The length of each train is: A.40 m B.55 m C.65 m D.50 m E.None of these

Last Answer : Answer- D (50) Explanation – Relative speed= total lengths/time (46-36) x 5/18 = [L + L ] / 36 10 x (5/18) x36 x (1/2)= L L=50 m

Description : The average speed of a bus in the upward journey is 50% more than that in the return journey. The bus halts for 2 hrs on reaching the destination. The total time taken for the complete to and from trip is 34 hrs ... speed of the bus in the upward journey is. a) 63.24 b) 65.67 c) 63.49 d) 62.49

Last Answer : D Let the speed in return journey be x km/hr Then speed in upward journey = 150 /100 x = (3/2 x)km/hr Average speed = (2*3x/2*x) / (3x/2 +x) =3x2 / (5x/2) =6x2 / 5x =6x/5 km/hr Therefore (1600 ... 192x = 8000 X = 41.66 Speed in upward journey = (3/2 x ) km/hr =(3/2*41.66) =62.49 km/hr 

Description : Tharun has to cover a distance of 84 km in 40 minutes. If he covers one-half of the distance in one-fourth of the total time, to cover the remaining distance in the remaining time, what should be his speed in km/hr? a) 42 km/hr b) 64km/hr c) 84km/hr d)76km/hr

Last Answer : C Tharun needs to cover 84 km in 40minutes Given that he covers one-half of the distance in one-fourth of the total time ⇒ he covers half of 84km in one-fourth of 40 minutes ⇒ He covers 42 km in ¼ * ... Distance =42km Time =30minutes =1/2 hr Required Speed = Distance / Time =42/(1/2)=84 km/hr

Description : The distance between salem and trichy is 170 km. A bus starts from salem at 6 a.m. and travels towards trichy at 20 km/hr. Another bus starts from trichy at 7 a.m. and travels towards salem at 30 km/hr. At what time will they meet? a) 7a.m b) 8a.m c) 9a.m d) 10a.m

Last Answer : D Assume that they meet x hours after 6 a.m. Then, Bus 1, starting from salem, travels x hours till the bus meet. Distance travelled by bus 1 in x hours =20x km bus 2, starting from trichy , travels (x−1) hours ... +30=50x 200=50x X=4 Hence, the bus meet 4 hours after 6 a.m., i.e. at 10a.m

Description : A bus starts at bus stop and reaches a destination in 4 hours. If it travels first and second half at the speed of 40 km/hr and 50 km/hr respectively then the distance between bus stop and destination is a) 177.7 km b) 154.2 km c) 163.5 km d) 147.3 km

Last Answer : A Let the distance between bus stop and destination be X. The total time taken by the bus to cover X = 4 hours Since X/2 by 40km/hr and remaining X/2 by 50km/hr Then by Time = distance/speed, we have ... = 1600 9X = 1600 X = 1600/9 = 177.7 Hence 177.7 km is the required answer.
