Q:

The distance of the college and home of Rajeev is 80km. One day he was late by 1 hour than the normal time to leave for the college, so he increased his speed by 4km/h and thus he reached  to college  at the normal time. What is the changed (or increased) speed of Rajeev?

A) 28 km/h B) 30 km/h
C) 40 km/h D) 20 km/h
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 20 km/h

Explanation:

Let the normal speed be x km/h, then 

80x-80(x+4)=1

⇒x2+4x-320=0

⇒x (x + 20) - 16 (x + 20) = 0

(x + 20 ) (x - 16) =0

 

x = 16 km/h

 Therefore (x + 4) = 20 km/h

 Therefore increased speed = 20 km/h

A) 10 B) 8
C) 6 D) 4
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 6

Explanation:

Distance = 110 m

Relative speed = 60 + 6 = 66 kmph (Since both the train and the man are in moving in opposite direction)

= (66*5/18)  m/sec = 55/3  m/sec

Time taken to pass the man = (100*3/55) = 6 s
