Description : A girl covered a definite distance at same speed. Had she moved 6 km/hr faster, she would have taken 30 mins less. If she had moved 4 km/hr slower, she would have taken 30 mins more. The distance (in km) is. a) 50 b) 40 c) 70 d) 60
Last Answer : D Let distance = x km Rate = y km/hr x/y - x / (y+6) = 30/60 (x(y+6)-xy) / y(y+6) = ½ (xy +6x - xy) / y(y+6) = ½ 12x = y(y+6) ------------>1 And x/ (y-4) - x/y = 30/60 (Xy - x(y-4 ... = (y+6) / (y-4) 3y - 12 = 2y +12 Y = 24km Put y value in 1 we get 12x = 24 (24+6) 12x = 24 *30 X=60km

The second faucet fills the cistern ... by the first faucet is? A) 6 hrs B) 10 hrs C) 15 hrs D) 30 hrs
Last Answer : C Suppose, first faucet alone takes x hours to fill the cistern. Then, second and third faucets will take (x - 5) and (x - 9) hours respectively to fill the cistern. 1/x + 1/(x - 5) = 1/(x - 9) (2x - 5)(x - 9) = x(x - 5) x2 - 18x + 45 = 0 (x- 15)(x - 3) = 0 => x = 15
Description : Two passenger trains are running in the same direction on parallel tracks at 210km/hr and 150km/hr respectively. The faster train passes a man 81 sec faster than the slower train. Find the length of the faster train. A) 1250m B) 1150m C) 1350m D) 1450m
Last Answer : ANSWER: C Explanation: Speed of 1st train = 210km/hr Speed of 2nd train = 150km/hr Here the two passenger trains are running in same direction, so Relative speed = (210 - 150)km/hr = 60km ... faster train = relative speed * time taken by train to pass = 50/3 * 81 = 1350m

Last Answer : ANSWER: A Explanation: Speed of 1st train = 180 km/hr Speed of 2nd train = 270 km/hr Relative speed = (180 + 270)km/hr = 450 km/hr = (450 * 5 / 180)m/s = (2250 / 18)m/s =125 m/s Distance covered = (3.30 + 2.70)km = 6km = 6000m Required time = 6000 / 125 = 48sec
