1 Answer

Answer :

Answer-C

Explanation:

The cyclist moves both ways at a speed of 12khr so average speed fo

the cyclist – 12 km/hr

boat sailor moves downstream at 10+4 = 14km/hr and upstream 10-

4 = 6km/hr

Average speed of the boat sailor = 2 x 14 x 6 / 14 +6 = 42/ 5 =

8.4km/hr

The average speed of cyclist is greater .so,cyclist comes first and

return to

place P.

Arun moves by swimming at a speed of 30 km/hr while Varun sails on a boat at a speed of about 24km/hr. If the flow of water current is at the speed of 12km/hr, what will be the average speed of boat sailor? A) 36 B) 18 C) 24 D) 48

Description : There is a bridge besides a river. Two friends Arun and varun started their journey from place L, moved to the garden located at another place M & then returned to place L. Arun moves by swimming at a speed of 30 ... 12km/hr, what will be the average speed of boat sailor? A) 36 B) 18 C) 24 D) 48 

Last Answer : ANSWER:B Explanation: As Arun swims both the ways at the speed of 30km/hr, the average speed of swimming is 30 km/hr Being a boat sailor, varun moves downstream at speed =24 +12=36km/hr and upstream at speed = 24-12= ... Upstream Speed])] = (36*12)/0.5(36+12) km/hr = 432/24 km/hr = 18 km/hr

A boat takes 4hours for traveling downstream from point P to point Q and coming back to point P upstream. If the velocity of the stream is 2km ph and the speed of the boat in still water is 4kmph, what is the distance between P and Q? A.9 km B.7 km C.5 km D.6km

Description : A train overtakes two persons walking along a railway track. The first one walks at 4.5 km/hr. The other one walks at 5.4 km/hr. The train needs 8.4 and 8.5 seconds respectively to overtake them. What is the speed ... as the train? A.59 km/hr B.65 km/hr C.70 km/hr D.81 km/hr E. None of these

Last Answer : Answer-D (81 km/hr) Explanation4.5 km/hr =(4.5 x 5/18)m/sec =5m/4sec = 1.25 m/sec, and 5.4 km/hr =(5.4 x 5/18)m/sec =3m/2sec = 1.5 m/sec. Let the speed of the train be x m/sec. Then, (x - 1.25) ... - 12.75 => 0.1x = 2.25 => x = 22.5 Therefore Speed of the train =(22.5 x18 /5)km/hr = 81 km/hr.

A boat goes 3.5km upstream in 24 mins and the speed of the stream is 1.5km per hour, then the speed of the boat in still water is. A) 4.3 km/hr B) 7.4 km/hr C) 5.2km/hr D) 10.25km/hr

Description : A boat goes 3.5km upstream in 24 mins and the speed of the stream is 1.5km per hour, then the speed of the boat in still water is. A) 4.3 km/hr B) 7.4 km/hr C) 5.2km/hr D) 10.25km/hr

Last Answer : ANSWER: D  Explanation:  Speed of upstream = 3.5 / 24 km/min  = 3.5 / 24 * 60 km/hr = 8.75 km/hr  Speed of the stream = ½ (a - b)km/hr = 1.5 km/hr  1.5 = ½ ( a- 8.75)km/hr  a = 11.75 km/hr ... (a + b) km/hr  = ½ (11.75 + 8.75) = ½(20.5)  The speed of the boat in still water = 10.25 km/hr

Senthil reached home at 8 a.m. if bike ... /hr, then on bike he covered a distance of. a) 3.12 b) 2.76 c) 4.13 d) 2.14

Last Answer : D Time taken = 2 hr 15 mins = 2 ¼ hrs Time = 9/4 hrs Let the required distance be x km Then x/20 + x/1 = 9/4 (X+20x) / 20 = 9/4 21x / 20 = 9/4 84x = 180 X= 2.14 km Therefore the required diatance is 2.14 km

Let p and q be two trains 65m and 70m long are running on parallel tracks in the same direction with a speed of 34km/hr and 25 km/hr. how long will it take to clear off each other from the moment they met? A) 54sec B) 56sec C) 45sec D) None of these

Description :  Let p and q be two trains 65m and 70m long are running on parallel tracks in the same direction with a speed of 34km/hr and 25 km/hr. how long will it take to clear off each other from the moment they met? A) 54sec B) 56sec C) 45sec D) None of these

Last Answer : ANSWER : A  Explanation :  Speed of the train p = 34km/hr  Speed of the train q = 25 km/hr  If the direction is given in the same direction then we subtract  So relative speed of trains = (34 - 25)km/hr  = 9 km ... 65 + 70)m  = 135m  Therefore time = (135 / (5/2))sec  = 270/5 sec  =54 sec.
