Q:

Akhil after travelling 50 km meets Raju who suggests him to go slower. He then proceeds at ¾ of his former speed and arrives at his destination 35 minutes late. Had the meeting occurred 24 km further Akhil would have reached its destination 25 minutes late. What is the initial speed of Akhil?

 

A) 48 kmph B) 36 kmph
C) 24 kmph D) 20 kmph
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 48 kmph

Explanation:

Let the initial speed of Akhil be '4p' kmph

Then speed after decrease in speed = '3p' kmph

We know that, 

Change in speed == Change in time

According to the given data,

243p - 244p = 35 - 2560=> p = 12

 

Hence, the initial speed of Akhil = 4p = 4 x 12 = 48 kmph.

Q:

In what ratio must a merchant mix two varieties of oils worth Rs. 60/kg and Rs. 65/kg, so that by selling the mixture at Rs. 68.20/kg, he may gain 10% ?

A) 2:3 B) 4:3
C) 3:4 D) 3:2
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 3:2

Explanation:

Let he mixes the oils in the ratio = x : y

Then, the cost price of the oils = 60x + 65y

Given selling price = Rs. 68.20

=> Selling price = 68.20(x+y)

Given profit = 10% = SP - CP

=> 10/100 (60x + 65y) = 68.20(x+y)-(60x + 65y)

=> 6x + 6.5y = 8.20x + 3.20y

=>2.2x = 3.3y

=> x : y = 3 : 2

Q:

The ratio of the speed of a boat downstream and speed of the stream is 9:1. If the speed of the current is 3 km per hr, find the distance travelled by the boat upstream in 5 hours.

A) 100 km B) 98 km
C) 109 km D) 105 km
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 105 km

Explanation:

Let the speed of boat in still water is ‘x’ km/hr & that of stream is ‘y’ km/hr.
Then, ATQ
(x+y)/y = 9/1 9y = x + y
x = 8y
y = 3 km/hr
So, x = 24 km/hr
Upstream speed = 24-3 = 21 km/hr
Hence, distance travelled upstream in 5 hours = 21*5 = 105 km.
