Q:

The ratio of efficiencies of P, Q and R is 2 : 3 : 4. While P and R work on alternate days and Q work for all days. Now the work completed in total 10 days and the total amount they get is Rs. 1200. Find the amount of each person(respectively).

A) 200, 600, 400 B) 400, 600, 200
C) 600, 200, 400 D) 400, 200, 600
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 200, 600, 400

Explanation:

Ratio of efficiencies of P, Q and R = 2 : 3 : 4

From the given data,

Number of working days of P, Q, R = 5 : 10 : 5

Hence, ratio of amount of p, Q, R = 2x5 : 3x10 : 4x5 = 10 : 30 : 20

Amounts of P, Q, R = 200, 600 and 400.

Q:

Buses start from a bus terminal with a speed of 20 km/hr at intervals of 10 minutes. What is the speed of a man coming from the opposite direction towards the bus terminal if he meets the buses at intervals of 8 minutes?

A) 5 kmph B) 6 kmph
C) 7.5 kmph D) 8 kmph
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 5 kmph

Explanation:

Let p be the speed of man in kmph

According to the given data in the question,

Distance travelled by bus in 10 min with 20 kmph == Distance travelled by man in 8 min with (20 + p) kmph in opposite direction

=> 20 x 10/60 = 8/60 (20 + p)

=> 200 = 160 + 8p

=> p = 40/8 = 5 kmph.
