Q:

Robert is traveling on his cycle and has calculated to reach point A at 2 p.m. if he travels at 10 km/hr; he will reach there at 12 noon if he travels at 15 km/hr. At what speed must he travel to reach A at 1 p.m. ?

A) 20 kmph B) 18 kmph
C) 12 kmph D) 16 kmph
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 12 kmph

Explanation:

Let the distance traveled be x km.
Then, x/10 - x/15 = 2
3x - 2x = 60 => x = 60 km.
Time taken to travel 60 km at 10 km/hr = 60/10 = 6 hrs.
So, Robert started 6 hours before 2. p.m. i.e., at 8 a.m.
Required speed = 60/5 = 12 kmph.

Q:

A tin a mixture of two liquids A and B in the proportion 4 : 1. If 45 litres of the mixture is replaced by 45 litres of liquid B, then the ratio of the two liquids becomes 2 : 5. How much of the liquid B was there in the tin? What quantity does the tin hold?

A) 58 l B) 65 l
C) 50 l D) 62 l
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 50 l

Explanation:

Let the tin contain 5x litres of liquids

5x - 45 x 455x - 45 x 15 + 45 = 25

=> 5(4x - 36) = 2(x + 36)

=> 20x - 180 = 2x + 72

=> x = 14 litres

Hence, the initial quantity of mixture = 70l

Quantity of liquid B

70 - 45 x 15 + 45 

= 50 litres.
