Q:

Den Bosch and Eastbourne are two famous cities 300 km apart. Maradona starts from Den Bosch at 8:24 am . An hour later pele starts from Den Bosch. After travelling for 1 hour , Pele reaches Nottingham that Maradona had passed 40 minutes earlier. Nottingham falls on the way from Den Bosch to Eastbourne. If pele and Maradona just reaches Eastbourne at the same time, what are thespeeds of the Maradona and Pele Respectively?

A) 100 km/h , 125 km/h	B) 60 km/h , 80 km/h
C) 60 km/h , 75 km/h	D) 75 km/h , 100 km/h

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 75 km/h , 100 km/h

Explanation:

Let Pele x km in 1 hour. so Maradona takes (2h-40min)=1 h 20 min to cover x km. Let speed of Maradona and Pele be M and P respectively than

x =M x (4/3) and x= P x 1

=> M/P = 3/4

Again $\frac{300}{M} = \frac{300}{P} = 1$

$\Rightarrow \frac{300}{3 k} - \frac{300}{4 k} = 1$

=> k= 25

M= 3k = 75 km/h and P= 4k = 100 km/h

( Through options it is very easy to solve)

Q:

Two horses start trotting towards each other, one from A to B and another from B to A. They cross each other after one hour and the first horse reaches B, 5/6 hour before the second horse reaches A. If the distance between A and B is 50 km. what is the speed of the slower horse?

A) 30 km/h	B) 15 km/h
C) 25 km/h	D) 20 km/h

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 20 km/h

Explanation:

If the speed of the faster horse be $f_{s}$ and that of slower horse be $s_{s}$ then

$f_{s} + s_{s} = \frac{50}{1} = 50$

and $\frac{50}{s_{s}} - \frac{50}{f_{s}} = \frac{5}{6}$

Now, you can go through options.

The speed of slower horse is 20km/h

Since, 20+30=50

and $\frac{50}{20} - \frac{50}{30} = \frac{5}{6}$

Q:

A train overtakes two girls who are walking in the opposite direction in which the train is going at the rate of 3 km/h and 6km/h and passes them completely in 36 seconds and 30 seconds respectively. The length of the train is:

A) 120m	B) 150m
C) 125m	D) None of these

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 150m

Explanation:

Let the length of the train e x meter, and let the speed of train be y km/h, then

$x = (y + 3) \times \frac{5}{18} \times 36$ --------(1) and

$x = (y + 6) \times \frac{5}{18} \times 30$ ---------(2)

From eq (1) and (2), we get

y = 12 km/h

Therefore, $x = (y + 3) \times \frac{5}{18} \times 36$ => x= 150 m

Q:

A person goes to his office at 1/3rd of the speed at which he returns from his office. If the average speed during the whole trip is 12 m /h . what is the speed of the person while he was going to his office?

A) 10	B) 6
C) 8	D) can't be determined

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 8

Explanation:

u = k , v= 3k

$∴ \frac{2 u v}{u + v} \Rightarrow \frac{2 \times k \times 3 k}{(k + 3 k)} = 12$ => k = 8km/h

Q:

Arjun and Bhishma are running on a circular track of length 600m. Speed of Arjun is 30 m/s and that of Bhishma is 20 m/s .They start fro the same point at the same time in the same direction. When will they meet again for the first time?

Answer

Sol : $Time = \frac{Circumference}{Relative Speed} = \frac{600}{10} = 60 \sec .$

Actually Arjun has to make a lead of 600 m, because when Arjun will be 600m ahead of Bhishma, they will be together again as a person when completes the total length it starts retracing he same path and thus Arjun and Bhishma can be together again.

Since , they make a difference of 10 m in 1 second. so, he will create 600m difference in 60 second.

Q:

A tank has an inlet and outlet pipe. The inlet pipe fills the tank completely in 2 hours when the outlet pipe is plugged. The outlet pipe empties the tank completely in 6 hours when the inlet pipe is pluggeed.

If there is a lekage also which is capable of draining out the liquid from the tank at half of the rate of outet pipe,them what is the time taken to fill the emty tank when both the pipes are opened?

A) 3 hours	B) 4 hours
C) 5 hours	D) None of these

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 4 hours

Explanation:

Rate of leakage = 8.33% per hour

Net efficiency = 50 - (16.66 + 8.33)= 25%

Time required = 100/25 = 4 hours
