Answer :

If the distance be x km, then x/40-x/50=6/60
x/4-x/5=1
x=20 km.
Required time = (20/40) hour – 11 minutes
= (1/2×60-11) minutes = 19 minutes

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 

A train 125 m long passes a man, running at 5 kmph in the same direction in which the train is going, in 10 seconds. The speed of the train is: A.35 km/hr B.50 km/hr C.48 km/hr D.55 km/hr E.None of these

A and B together can complete a work in 24 days. A alone can complete it in 40 days. If B does the work only for half a day daily, then in how many days A and B together will complete the work? a) 24 days b) 15 days c) 21 days d) 19 days

Description : A and B together can complete a work in 24 days. A alone can complete it in 40 days. If B does the work only for half a day daily, then in how many days A and B together will complete the work? a) 24 days b) 15 days c) 21 days d) 19 days

Last Answer : A B’s 1 day’s work = (1/24 -1/40) =(5-3)/120 =2/120=>1/60 Now, (A + B)’s 1 day’s work = (1/40 +1/60) =(3+2)/120 =5/120 So, A and B together will complete the work in 120/5 = 24 days.

Description : A father runs after his son, who is 1000 meters ahead. The father runs at a speed of 1 kilometre every 8 minutes, and the son runs at a speed of 1 kilometer every 12 minutes. How much distance has ... father overtakes him? a) 2500 meters b) 2000 meters c) 1500 meters d) 1000 meters e) 1200 meters

Last Answer : Time taken is same for both father and son Let x be the distance son travelled before being overtaken by his father Time taken by son = x/5 km/hour Time taken by father = (1000 + x) / 7.5 km/hr Since, time taken is same x/5 = (1000 + x) / 7.5 or x = 2000m Answer: b)

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 of the train if both the persons are walking in the same direction as the train? A.59 km/hr B.65 km/hr C.70 km/hr D.81 km/hr E. None of these

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.

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

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
