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

1 Answer

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

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 : 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 : Two stations X and Y are 170 km apart on a straight line. One train starts from X at 6 a.m. and travels towards Y at 25 kmph.

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 : A man can row 9 (1/3) kmph in still water and finds that it takes him thrice as much time to row up than as to row down the same distance in the river. What is speed of the current ? A. 5km/hr B.3(1/2) km/hr C.4 (2/3) km/hr D.8 (3/2)km/hr

Last Answer : Answer- C Basic Formula: Speed of current = ½ (a-b) km/hr Explanation: Let man's rate upstream be x km/hr. Then his rate downstream is 3 x km/hr Given: Speed in still water = 9 (1/3) = 28/3 km/hr i.e, ½ (a+b) = ... the current = ½ (a-b) = ½ (14 - 14/3) = ½ (42-14/3) = 28/6 = 4 (2/3) km/hr

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.

Description : A train 330 m long passes a man, running at 18 km/hr in the direction opposite to that of the train in 18 seconds. The speed of the train is. A) 38 km/hr B) 29km/hr C) 48km/hr D) 44km/hr

Last Answer : ANSWER: C Explanation:  Length of the train = 330 m  Speed = distance / time.  Speed of the train relative to man = 330 / 18 m/s  = 110 / 6 m/s  Convert m/s into km/hr  Therefore 110 / 6 m/s = (110 / ... (x +18) = 66 km/hr  X + 18 = 66  X = 48  Therefore the speed of the train is 48 km/hr.

Description : A train leaves Mumbai for chennai at 6 : 45 a.m. and goes at the rate of 100 km/h. Another train leaves Chennai for Mumbai at 4.30a.m. and goes at the rate of 120 km/h. If the distance between both is 1240 km, at what distance from Mumbai will the two trains meet? A) 210km B) 324km C) 115km D) 440km

Last Answer : ANSWER: D  Explanation:  Given speed of the first train = 100kmph  speed of the second train = 120kmph  The second train leaving Chennai starts its journey earlier and it travels = 120 *(6.45a.m. ... train covers 4.40 *100 = 440 km  Therefore the first train meet to the second train at 440km

Description : Two trains are running in opposite directions with the same speed. If the length of each train is 120 metres and they cross each other in 12 seconds, then the speed of each train (in km/hr) is: A.12 kmph B.24 kmph C.36 kmph D.48 kmph E.None of these

Last Answer : Answer – C (36 kmph) Explanation – Let the speed of each train be x m/sec. Then, relative speed of the two trains = 2x m/sec. So, 2x = (120 + 120)/12 ⇔ 2x = 20 ⇔ x = 10. ∴ Speed of each train = 10 m/sec = [10 x 18/5] km/hr = 36 km/hr

Description : Two trains starting at the same time from two stations 200 km apart and going in opposite directions cross each other at a distance of 110 km from one of the stations. What is the ratio of their speeds? A.9 : 28 B.11 : 9 C.11 : 8 D.9 : 22 E.None of these

Last Answer : Answer – B (11 : 9) Explanation – In the same time, they cover 110 km and 90 km respectively.Ratio of their speeds = 110 : 90 = 11 : 9 

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.

Description : Ajay reads at an average rate of 30 pages per hour, while Vikram reads at an average rate of 40 pages per hour. If Ajay starts reading a novel at 4:30 PM and Vikram begins reading an identical copy of the same book at 5:20 PM, at ... same page? a) 7:50 PM b) 8:15 PM c) 8:40 PM d) 9:00 PM e) 9:25 PM

Last Answer : Ajay reads at average rate of 30 pages per hour ie. 1 page in every two minutes. Therefore, by 5:20 PM, he would have covered 25 pages By 6:20 PM, Ajay would have read 25+30 pages and Vikram would have ... and he will also finish 100 pages Hence, both of them will be on same page at 7:50 Answer: a)

Description : A boat running downstream covers a distance of 20 km in 5 hours while for covering the same distance upstream, it takes 10 hours. What is the speed of the stream? a) 2km/hr b) 4km/hr c) 1km/hr d) 1.5 km/hr e) None of these

Last Answer : c Rate of downstream=(20 / 5 ) kmph= 4kmph Rate of upstream =( 20/10) kmph= 2kmph Therefore Speed of the stream= (1/2)(4 - 2) kmph= 1 kmph

Description : A van travels from namakkal to Madurai at a constant speed. If its speed were increased by 40km/hr it would have taken 1 hr lesser to cover the distance. It would have taken further 45 mins lesser if the speed ... by 40km/hr. what is distance between the 2 cities. a) 1680 b) B1660 c) 1670 d) 1675

Last Answer : A Let distance = x km Usual rate = y km/hr Then x/y - x/(y+40) =1 X(y+40) / y(y+40) = 1 Xy+40x - xy = y(y+40) 40x = y(y+40) ---------->1 x/y - x/y+80 = 7/4 x(y+80) - xy / y(y+ ... (y+80) / y(y+40) 8(y+40) = 7y + 560 8y +320 = 7y+560 Y=240 Substitute y value in 1 40x = 240*280 X=1680 km

Description : The average speed of a train is 1 3/7 times the average speed of a car. The car covers a distance of 616 km in 8 hours. How much distance will the train cover in 13 hours? a) 1340 km b) 1423 km c) 1430 km d) 1936 km e) None of these

Last Answer : speed of the car = 616/8 = 77km/hr speed of the train = 10/7 × 77 = 110 km/hr Distance covered by train = 110 × 13 = 1430 km. Answer: c)

Description : 2 bus start from A & B respectively and travel towards each other at a speed of 150 km/hr and 120 km/hr respectively. By the time they meet, the first bus has travelled by 300km more than the second. The distance between A & B is a) 2700 b) 2800 c) 2750 d) 2457

Last Answer : A At the time of meeting, Let the distance travelled by the second bus be xkm Then distance covered by the 1st bus is (x+300)km x/120= (x+300) /150 150x = 120(x+300) 150x = 120x +36000 30x = ... X=36000/30 X=1200 So the distance covered between A & B =(x+x+300) =(1200+1200+300) =2700km.

Description : Of the four numbers, the first is twice the second, the second is one-third of the third and the third is 5 times the fourth. The average of the numbers is 24.75. The largest of these numbers is: A.45 B.25 C.30 D.45 E.None of these

Last Answer : Answer – D (45) Explanation – Let the fourth number be a then hen, third number = 5a, second number= 5a/3 and first=10a/3 a+ 5a+ 5a/3 + 10/3 = 24.75 x 4 so,a=9 So, the numbers are 9, 45, 15 and 30

Description : A car travels at a speed of 50 km/hr for 30 minutes, at 30 km/hr for next 15 minutes and then 70 km/hr for next 45 minutes.

Last Answer : A car travels at a speed of 50 km/hr for 30 minutes, at 30 km/hr for next 15 minutes and ... next 45 minutes. What is the average speed of the car?
