Q:

Two trains running in opposite directions cross a pole placed on the platform in 47 seconds and 31 seconds respectively. If they cross each other in 33 seconds, what is the ratio of their speeds?

A) 1:7 B) 7:1
C) 2:3 D) 3:2
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 1:7

Explanation:

Let the speed of the trains be x and y respectively
length of train1 = 47x
length of train2 = 31y
Relative speed= x + y
Time taken to cross each other = 33 s
=> 47x+31yx+y= 33
=> (47x + 31 y) = 33(x + y)
=> 14x = 2y
=> x/y = 2/14 = 1/7

 = 1:7

The cost price of a college bag is 240% more than the profit obtained on it selling at Rs. 1540. What is the cost price of that college bag?

A) Rs. 1190 B) Rs. 1288
C) Rs. 1365 D) Rs. 1452
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Rs. 1190

Explanation:

Let the profit be Rs. p

Then Cost price of the bag = 340p/100 = 3.4p

According to question,

3.4p + p = 1540

4.4p = 1540

p = 1540/4.4

p = 350

The profit p = Rs, 350

 

Hence, The cost price of the bag = 3.4p = 3.4 x 350 = Rs. 1190.
