Q:

Two boys starting from the same place walk at a rate of 5kmph and 5.5kmph respectively. What time will they take to be 8.5km apart, if they walk in the same direction?

A) 15 hours	B) 16 hours
C) 17 hours	D) 18 hours

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 17 hours

Explanation:

In this type of questions we need to get the relative speed between them,
The relative speed of the boys = 5.5kmph – 5kmph
= 0.5 kmph

Distance between them is 8.5 km
Time = Distance/Speed
Time= 8.5km / 0.5 kmph = 17 hrs

Q:

A man in a train notices that he can count 41 telephone posts in one minute. If they are known to be 50 metres apart, then at what speed is the train travelling?

A) 60 km/hr	B) 100 km/hr
C) 110 km/hr	D) 120 km/hr

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 120 km/hr

Explanation:

Number of gaps between 41 poles = 40
So total distance between 41 poles = 40*50
= 2000 meter = 2 km
In 1 minute train is moving 2 km/minute.
Speed in hour = 2*60 = 120 km/hour

Q:

At what angle the hands of a clock are inclined at 15 minutes past 5?

A) 57.5 degrees	B) 67.5 degrees
C) 77.5 degrees	D) 87.5 degrees

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 67.5 degrees

Explanation:

Angle traced by hour hand in $\frac{21}{4}$ 21 hrs = ${(\frac{360}{12} \times \frac{21}{4})}^{0}$ = $157 \frac{1^{0}}{2}$

Angle traced by min. hand in 15 min = ${(\frac{360}{12} \times 15)}^{0}$ = $90^{0}$

$\therefore$ Required Angle = ${(157 \frac{1}{2})}^{0} - 90^{0}$ = $67 \frac{1^{0}}{2}$
