Q:

A train 125 m long passes a man, running at 5 km/hr in the same direction in which the train is going, in 10 seconds. The speed of the train is ?

A) 45 kmph B) 25 kmph
C) 30 kmph D) 50 kmph
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 50 kmph

Explanation:

Speed of the train relative to man = (125/10) m/sec = (25/2) m/sec.
[(25/2) x (18/5)] km/hr = 45 km/hr.
Let the speed of the train be 'S' km/hr.
Then, relative speed = (S - 5) km/hr.
S - 5 = 45 => S = 50 km/hr.

C) Rs. 9828.80 D) Rs. 19328.80
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Rs. 19828.80

Explanation:

Let the sum be Rs. P
P{ 1+81002- 1 } = 2828.80

 

It is in the form of  a2-b2 = a+ba-b

 

P(8/100)(2 + 8/100) = 2828.80

 

P = 2828.80 / (0.08)(2.08)

 

= 1360/0.08 = 17000

 

Principal + Interest = Rs. 19828.80
