Then, from the given data,

M1/S1 = 3/4  .....(1)

M1/M2 = 4/5 .....(2)

S1/S2 = 2/3  .....(3)

and M2 + S2 = 4160  .....(4)

Q:

Important Time and Distance formulas with examples.

Answer

1. How to find Speed(s) if distance(d) & time(t) is given:


 


 Speed (S) = Distance (D)Time (T)  


 


Ex: Find speed if a person travels 4 kms in 2 hrs?


Speed = D/T = 4/2 = 2 kmph.


 


2.  Similarly, we can find distance (d)  if speed (s) & time (t) is given by


 


Distance (D) = Speed (S) x Time (T)


 


Ex : Find distance if a person with a speed of 2 kmph in 2 hrs?


Distance D = S X T = 2 x 2 = 4 kms. 


 


3.  Similarly, we can find time (t) if speed (s) &  distance (d) is given by


 


Time (T) = Distance (D)Speed (S)


 


Ex : Find in what time a person travels 4 kms with a speed of 2 kmph?


Time T = D/S = 4/2 = 2 hrs.


 


4. How to convert  km/hr into m/sec :


 


P km/hr = P x 518 m/sec


 


Ex : Convert 36 kmph into m/sec?


36 kmph = 36 x 5/18 = 10 m/sec 


 


5. How to convert  m/sec into km/hr :


 


P m/sec = P x 185 kmph.


 


Ex : Convert 10 m/sec into km/hr?


10 m/sec = 10 x 18/5 = 36 kmph.


 


6.  If the ratio of the speeds of A and B is a:b, then the ratio of the times taken by them to cover the same distance is b : a.


 


7.  Suppose a man covers a certain distance at x km/ hr and an equal distance at y km/hr . Then, the average speed during the whole journey is 2xyx+y km/hr.

Q:

Two girls ate dinner together.

 After that they both ordered iced tea. One girl drank them very fast and had finished five in the time it took the other to drink just one.

The girl who drank one died while the other survived. However, all of the drinks that were served turned out to contain poison.

 

How did the girl who drank the most survive?

The poison was in the ice. When the girl drank the iced tea, the ice was still fully frozen. Gradually, as the ice cubes melted the poison was released into the drink.


 


Hence, the girl who died, drunk the tea after the ice melted. So, she was died.

An alloy contains gold and silver in the ratio 5 : 8 and another alloy contains gold and silver in the ratio 5 : 3. If equal amount of both the alloys are melted together, then the ratio of gold and silver in the resulting alloy is ?

 

A) 113/108 B) 105/103
C) 108/115 D) 103/113
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 105/103

Explanation:

As given equal amounts of alloys are melted, let it be 1 kg.

Required ratio of gold and silver = 513 + 58813 + 38 = 105103.

 

Hence, ratio of gold and silver in the resulting alloy = 105/103.
