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:

Shahrukh starts from Barabanki to Fatehpur , 1 hour after Ajay starts. Shahrukh meets Kajol 1.5 hours after Shahrukh starts. If the speed of Shahrukh is at least 20km/h faster than the speed of Kajol.

What is the minimum speed of Shahrukh to overtake Ajay, before he meets Kajol?

A) 30	B) 40
C) 60	D) None of these

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) None of these

Explanation:

Let t be the time after Kajol starts, when she meets Ajay, then

t = 300/(x+y)

This should be less than 2.5 or (x+y)>120

Since y= 3x/2 => y > 72

This (y>72) is greater than 67.5 km/h and hence Shahrukh will always overtake Ajay before he meets Kajol.

Q:

A boat sails 15 km of a river towards upstream in 5 hours. How long will it take to cover the same distance downstream, if the speed of current is one-fourth the speed of the boat in still water:

A) 1.8h	B) 3h
C) 4h	D) 5h

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 3h

Explanation:

Upstream speed = B-S

Downstream speed = B+s

B-S = 15/5 = 3 km/h

Again B= 4S

Therefore B-S = 3= 3S

=> S = 1 and B= 4 km/h

Therefore B+S = 5km/h

Therefore, Time during downstream = 15/5 = 3h
