Q:

# A train covers a distance in 50 minutes, if it runs at a speed of 48kmph on an average. Find the speed at which the train must run to reduce the time of journey to 40 minutes.

 A) 50 km/hr B) 60 km/hr C) 65 km/hr D) 70 km/hr

Answer:   B) 60 km/hr

Explanation:

We are having time and speed given, so first we will calculate the distance. Then we can get new speed for given time and distance.
Lets solve it.

Time = 50/60 hr = 5/6 hr
Speed = 48 mph
Distance = S*T = 48 * 5/6 = 40 km

New time will be 40 minutes so,
Time = 40/60 hr = 2/3 hr
Now we know,
Speed = Distance/Time
New speed = 40*3/2 kmph = 60kmph

Q:

Kamal consistently runs 240 meters a day and on Saturday he runs for 400 meters. How many kilometers will he have to run in four weeks ?

 A) 5.75 kms B) 7.36 kms C) 8.2 kms D) 6.98 kms

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 7.36 kms

Explanation:

Total running distance in four weeks = (24 x 240) + (4 x 400)

= 5760 + 1600

= 7360 meters

= 7360/1000

=> 7.36 kms

Q:

K and L starts walking towards each other at 4 pm at speed of 3 km/hr and 4 km/hr respectively. They were initially 17.5 km apart. At what time do they meet ?

 A) 6:00 am B) 6:30 pm C) 5:45 am D) 5:52 pm

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 6:30 pm

Explanation:

Suppose they meet after 'h' hours

Then

3h + 4h = 17.5

7h = 17.5

h = 2.5 hours

So they meet at => 4 + 2.5 = 6:30 pm

Q:

P, Q and R start simultaneously from A to B. P reaches B, turns back and meet Q at a distance of 11 km from B. Q reached B, turns back and meet R at a distance of 9 km from B. If the ratio of the speeds of P and R is 3:2, what is the distance between A and B ?

 A) 99 B) 100 C) 89 D) 1

Explanation:

Let, Distance between A and B = d

Distance travelled by P while it meets Q = d + 11

Distance travelled by Q while it meets P = d – 11

Distance travelled by Q while it meets R = d + 9

Distance travelled by R while it meets Q = d – 9

Here the ratio of speeds of P & Q => SP : SQ = d + 11 : d – 11

The ratio of speeds of Q & R => SQ : SR = d + 9 : d – 9

But given Ratio of speeds of P & R => P : R = 3 : 2

$\inline \fn_jvn \frac{SP}{SR} = \frac{SP}{SQ}x\frac{SQ}{SR} = \frac{(d+11)(d+9)}{(d-11)(d-9)}$

=> $\inline \fn_jvn \frac{(d+11)(d+9)}{(d-11)(d-9)}=\frac{3}{2}$

=>  d = 1, 99

=> d = 99 satisfies.

Therefore, Distance between A and B = 99

Q:

A man can row 8 kmh in still water. If the river is running at 2 kmh, it takes 4 hrs more upstream than to go downstream for the same distance. Then the distance is given by

 A) 54 kms B) 32 kms C) 45 kms D) 60 kms

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 60 kms

Explanation:

Let the distance be d.

$\inline \fn_jvn \frac{d}{8-2}-\frac{d}{8+2}=4$

=> 2d = 120

=> d = 60 kms.

Q:

In what time a 360 m. long train moving at the speed of 44 km/hr will cross a 140 m. long bridge ?

 A) 36 sec B) 39 sec C) 41 sec D) 43 sec

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 41 sec

Explanation:

Speed = 44 kmph x 5/18 = 110/9 m/s

We know that, Time = distance/speed

Time = (360 + 140) / (110/9)

= 500 x 9/110 = 41 sec.
