Q:

In a race of 800m Kaushik gives Piyush a start of 200m and then loses the race by 20 seconds. What is the speed of Piyush and Kaushik respectively ? If the ratio of respective speeds be 3:2.

Answer

Let the speed of Kaushik be Sk and speed of Piyush be Sp and let the time taken by Piyush be t second then,

$\frac{Sk}{Sp} = \frac{\frac{800}{t + 20}}{\frac{600}{t}} = \frac{2}{3} (since given ratio)$

t = 20 s

Speed of Piyush = Sp = 600/20 = 30 m/s

and Speed of Kaushik = 800/40 = 20 m/s

Q:

The capacity of a tank is 2400 $m^{3}$ . A pump can be used both for filling and emptying the tank. The emptying capacity of the pump is 10 $m^{3}$ /minute higher than its filling capacity. And also, the pump needs 8 minutes less to empty the tank than to fill it. Find the filling capacity of the pump.

A) 46 cub.m/min	B) 44 cub.m/min
C) 48 cub.m/min	D) 50 cub.m/min

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 50 cub.m/min

Explanation:

Let filling capacity of the pump be 'F' $m^{3} / \min$

Then, the filling capacity of the pump will be (F + 10) $m^{3} / \min$

From the given data,

$\frac{2400}{F} - \frac{2400}{F + 10} = 8 \Rightarrow 2400 [\frac{F + 10 - F}{F (F + 10)}] = 8 \Rightarrow F^{2} + 10 F - 3000 = 0 \Rightarrow F = 50 m^{3} / \min$
