Q:

Two trains are running with speeds 30 kmph and 58 kmph respectively in the same direction. A man in the slower train passes the faster train in 18 seconds. Find the length of the faster train?

A) 105 mts B) 115 mts
C) 120 mts D) 140 mts
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 140 mts

Explanation:

Speeds of two trains = 30 kmph and 58 kmph

=> Relative speed = 58 - 30 = 28 kmph = 28 x 5/18 m/s = 70/9 m/s

Given a man takes time to cross length of faster train = 18 sec

 

Now, required Length of faster train = speed x time = 70/9  x  18 = 140 mts.

Q:

K is 50% faster than L. If L starts at 9 A.M. and K starts at 10 A.M. L travels at a speed of 50 km/hr. If L and K are 300 kms apart, The time when they meet when they travel in opposite direction is ?

A) 12 pm B) 1 pm
C) 11 am D) 11:30 am
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 12 pm

Explanation:

let 't' be the time after which they met since L starts.

Given K is 50% faster than L

50 t + 1.5*50(t-1) = 300

50 t +75 t = 300 + 75

t = 375 / 125 = 3 hrs past the time that L starts

So they meet at (9 + 3)hrs = 12:00 noon.

Q:

Three men, four women and six children can complete a work in 9 days. A women does  double the work a man does and a child does half the work a man does. How many women alone can complete this work in 9 days?

A) 7 B) 8
C) 9 D) 6
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 7

Explanation:

Given (3 Men + 4 Women + 6 Children) -----> 9 days

But W = 2M and C = M/2

Now, convert Men and Children into Women by

3W2 + 4W + 6W4=> 32 + 4 + 32 = 7 Women 

Therefore, 7 women alone can complete this work in 9 days.

Q:

A motorboat can go 10 miles downstream on a river in 20 min. It takes 30 min for this boat to go back at the same 10 miles. Find the speed of the current ?

A) 8 m/h B) 5 m/h
C) 7 m/h D) 6 m/h
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 5 m/h

Explanation:

As the distance travelled is constant, the time taken is inversely proportional to speed.

Let 'u' be the speed of the current and 'v' be the speed of the boat.

Speed of the boat downstream = v + u & upstream = v - u

=> v+u/v-u = 30/20 => v/u = 5 => v = 5u

=> v + u = 6u = 10/20/60 miles/hr

=> 6u = 30 m/h

=> u = 5 m/h
