1 Answer

Answer :

B

Relative speed of the tiger = (5-4)km/hr

=1 km/hr

Time taken by tiger to cover 50 m,

=(50/1000)hr =1/20hr

In 1/20 hrs, the tiger cover a distance of (4*1/20)km

=1/5km =>(1/5*1000)m

=200m

Last Answer : C To find out the relative speed of the goat and lion (31-30) = 1 km/hr Distance covered in 12 mins =(1/60*12)km =1/5 km =(1000/5)m =200m Distance between the goat and lion = (350 – 200)m =150m

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

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.

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

Two trains are running at 40 km/hr and 20 km/hr respectively in the same direction. Fast train completely passes a man sitting in the slower train in 5 seconds. What is the length of the fast train? A.27 7/9 m B.28 m C.29 m D.30 2/7 m E.None of these

Description : Two trains are running at 40 km/hr and 20 km/hr respectively in the same direction. Fast train completely passes a man sitting in the slower train in 5 seconds. What is the length of the fast train? A.27 7/9 m B.28 m C.29 m D.30 2/7 m E.None of these 

Last Answer : Answer – A (27 7/9 m) Explanation – When SAME direction- MINUS Relative speed = (40-20) km/hr = [20 x 5/18] m/sec = [50/9] m/sec. Length of faster train = sxt=[50/9 x 5] m = 250/9 m = 27 7/9 m.

Description : A certain thing is thrown twice from a place with the gap of 45 minutes between the two shots. A girl approaching this point in a train heard the second shot 44 minutes after she heard the first shot. What is the speed of train ... travels at 660 m/s? a) 62 km/hr b) 54 km/hr c) 48 km/hr d) 27 km/hr

Last Answer : B Actual time between the two shots being fired = 45 minutes. If a girl was stationary she would have heard the shots after 44 minutes. But since the train was moving towards the source, she heard the second shot after ... = (15 *18/5) km/hr =54 km/hr Hence the speed of the train is 54 km/hr

Last Answer : B Let their speed be x km/hr and y km/hr respectively Then 60 / (x+y) = ½ X+y = 120 ------------->1 Now when they move in same direction (distance travelled by A in 3 hrs) - (Distance travelled by B in ... = 140 X=70 Put x value in 1 we get Y=120 -70=50 Y=50 Therefore A's speed = 70 km/hr

The speed of a van increases by 5 kmph after every one hour. If the distance travelled in the first one hour was 55 km, what was the total distance travelled in 8 hours? a) 580km b) 116km c) 147km d) 240km

Description : The speed of a van increases by 5 kmph after every one hour. If the distance travelled in the first one hour was 55 km, what was the total distance travelled in 8 hours? a) 580km b) 116km c) 147km d) 240km

Last Answer :  A Distance travelled in 1ST hour =55 km Speed of the van increases by 5 kmph after every one hour. Hence, distance travelled in 2nd hour =60 km distance travelled in 3rd hour =65 km and so on Total distance travelled =(55+60+……..+(8 terms)) =8/2(2*55+(8-1)5) =4(110+35) =580km

Find the speed and average speed of a bus which leaves salem at 4 p.m. and reaches madurai in the same day at 8 p.m. The distance between the two stations is 216 km and the total time for stoppage is 1 hour between these stations. a) 54,72 b) 62,84 c) 72,54 d) 82,64

Description :  Find the speed and average speed of a bus which leaves salem at 4 p.m. and reaches madurai in the same day at 8 p.m. The distance between the two stations is 216 km and the total time for stoppage is 1 hour between these stations. a) 54,72 b) 62,84 c) 72,54 d) 82,64

Last Answer : C Total time taken = 4 hours; Time of stoppage = 1 hour, that is, actual time taken = 4 hours - 1 hours = 3 hours Speed = Distance/Time = 216/3 = 72 km/hr Average speed = Total Distance/ Total Time = 216/4 = 54 km/hr

Three friends X, Y and Z run a running race, Y finished 12 meters ahead of Z and 18 m ahead of X, while Z finished 8m ahead of X. If each friends runs the entire distance at their respective constant speeds, what is the length of the race? a) 16m b) 48m c) 24m d) 12m

Description : Three friends X, Y and Z run a running race, Y finished 12 meters ahead of Z and 18 m ahead of X, while Z finished 8m ahead of X. If each friends runs the entire distance at their respective constant speeds, what is the length of the race? a) 16m b) 48m c) 24m d) 12m 

Last Answer : B Let the length of the race track be 'd'. When Y finished the race, X and Z would have run (d−18) and (d−12) meters respectively. When Z finishes the race, X would have run (d-8) meters. The ratio of ... d2 -20d+96= d2 -18d 20d-18d=96 d=96/2=48m hence the length of the race track is 48m

A train M speeding with 60km/hr crooses another train N, running in the same direction in 1 min. If the lengths of the trains M and N be 50m and 100m respectively. What is the speed of train N? A) 15 km/hr B) 61km/hr C) 51km/hr D) 50k/hr

Description : A train M speeding with 60km/hr crooses another train N, running in the same direction in 1 min. If the lengths of the trains M and N be 50m and 100m respectively. What is the speed of train N? A) 15 km/hr B) 61km/hr C) 51km/hr D) 50k/hr

Last Answer : ANSWER: C Explanation:  Let the speed of be train N be ‘x’km/hr  Speed of M relative to N = (60 – x)km/hr  = (60-x) * 5/18]m/s = (300 – 5x / 18)m/s  150 / (300 – 5x / 18) =60  2700/300-5x=60  2700=18000-300x 300x=15300  x= 153/3  x=51km/hr  Therefore the speed of the train is 51 km/hr
