Description : A motor boat sails 30 km of a river towards upstream in 10hrs. How long will it take to cover the same distance downstream, if the speed of the current is ½ of the speed of the boat in still water. A) 1.8hrs B) 3.33hrs C) 5hrs D) None of these
Last Answer : ANSWER : B Explanation: Upstream speed = x –y Downstream speed = x + y x– y = 30/10 = 3km/hr Again x = 2y Therefore x – y = 3 y= 3km/hr ; x = 6km/hr Therefore x + y = 9 km/hr Time during downstream = 30/9 = 3.33hrs
Description : A bus can travel 25% faster than a van. Both start from a certain shop at the same time and reach poin P, 37.5 kms away from the shop at the same time time. On the way, however, the bus lost about 6.25 mins while shopping at the some such places. The speed of the van is. a) 72 b) 73 c) 74 d) 75
Last Answer : A Let speed of the car be x kmph The speed of the train = 125x/100 =5x/4 km/hr Therefore 37.5 / x – 37.5 /(5x/4) = 6.25 /60 37.5 / x – (37.5*4)/5x = 6.25 / 60 37.5 / x – 150 / 5x = 6.25 / 60 37.5 / x – 30/x = 6.25 / 60 7.5 / x = 6.25 / 60 6.25x = 7.5*60 X=72 km/hr
