Q:

With an average speed of 40 km/hr, a train reaches its destination in time. If it goes with an average speed of 35 km/hr, it is late by 15 minutes. Find the length of the total journey?

A) 70 kms B) 60 kms
C) 45 kms D) 30 kms
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 70 kms

Explanation:

Let the time taken by train be 't' hrs.

Then,

40t = 35t + 1560

40t = 35t + 35/4

t = 7/4 hrs

Therefore, Required length of the total journey d = s x t

= 40 x 7/4

= 70 kms.

Q:

The ratio of speeds of a car, a train and a bus is 5:9:4. The average speed of the car, the bus and the train is 72 km/hr together. What is the average speed of the car and the train together ?

A) 84 km/hr B) 96 km/hr
C) 72 km/hr D) 60 km/hr
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 84 km/hr

Explanation:

Let the speeds of the car, train and bus be 5x, 9x and 4x km/hr respectively.
Average speed = 5x + 9x + 4x/3 = 18x /3 = 6x km/hr.
Also, 6x = 72 => x = 12 km/hr
Therefore, the average speed of the car and train together is = 5x+9x2= 7x = 7 x 12 = 84 km/hr.

Q:

Milk and water are mixed in a vessel A as 4:1 and in vessel B as 3:2. For vessel C, if one takes equal quantities from A and B, find the ratio of milk to water in C.

A) 1:9 B) 9:1
C) 3:7 D) 7:3
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 7:3

Explanation:

Ratio of Milk and water in a vessel A is 4 : 1

 

Ratio of Milk and water in a vessel B is 3 : 2

 

Ratio of only milk in vessel A = 4 : 5

 

Ratio of only milk in vessel B = 3 : 5

 

Let 'x' be the quantity of milk in vessel C

 

Now as equal quantities are taken out from both vessels A & B

 

=> 4/5     :     3/5
               x 
  3/5-x          x - 4/5

 

=> 35-xx-45 = 11 (equal quantities)

 

=> x = 7/10

 

Therefore, quantity of milk in vessel C  = 7

 

=> Water quantity = 10 - 7 = 3

 

Hence the ratio of milk & water in vessel 3 is 7 : 3
