A) 1.5 hrs B) 1.7 hrs
C) 2.2 hrs D) 3.5 hrs
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 2.2 hrs

Explanation:

Let the original Speed be "s" kmph
And the usual time be "t" hrs
Given that if the bus is running at 9s/10 kmph the time is 22 hrs
=> [9s/10] x 22 = t x s
=> 99/5 = t
=> t = 19.8 hrs

 

Hence, if bus runs at its own speed, the time saved = 22 - 19.8 = 2.2 hrs.

Q:

O and O' are the center of the two circles with radii 7cm and 9cm respectively. The distance between the centers is 20cm. If PQ be the transverse common tangent to the circles, which cuts OO' at X, what is the length of O'X in cm ?

A) 10 B) 6
C) 35/4 D) 45/4
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 45/4

Explanation:

As clear from the figure itself, triangle OQX and triangle O'PX are similar.

So,

OQ/O'P = OX/O'X

=> OX = (7/9)xO'X

And since, OX + O'X = 20

=> (7/9)xO'X + O'X = 20

=> O'X = 45/4
