A) 140 kms B) 120 kms
C) 96 kms D) 142 kms
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 140 kms

Explanation:

It is given train X leave station A at 6:30 am, here it is asked to calculate the distance from A when the trains meet, the
Distance traveled by train left at 6:30 am upto 7:40 am i.e. in 1 hr. 10 min. or 7/6 hours = 30 x 7/6 = 35 km
So train leaving at 7:40 am will meet first train after covering a distance of 35 km. with relative speed of 40-30=10 km/hr.
Hence time taken = 35/10 = 3.5 hours or 3 hours 30 minutes
So distance from A = Distance traveled by 2nd train in 3 hr. 30 min
= 40 x 3.5 = 140 km.

1 + 2 = 134 = 1x1 1+2 2x2

2 + 2 = 444 = 2x2 2+2 2x2

3 + 2 = 954 = 3x3 3+2 2x2

There is an empty reservoir whose capacity is 30 litres. There is an inlet pipe which fills at 5 L/min and there is an outlet pipe which empties at 4 L/min. Both the pipes function alternately for 1 minute. Assuming that the inlet pipe is the first one to function, how much time will it take for the reservoir to be filled up to its capacity?

A) 49.5 min B) 50 min
C) 51 min D) 52 min
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 51 min

Explanation:

The work to be done = Capacity of reservoir  = 30 litres.

 1st Minute ---> inlet pipe opened ---> 5 lit filled

 2nd minute ---> inlet pipe closed; outlet pipe opened ---> 4 lit emptied

 

In 2 minutes (5 litres - 4 litres = 1lit) is filled into the reservoir.

It takes 2 minutes to fill 1lit ---> it takes 50 minutes to fill 25 litres into the reservoir.  

 

In the 51st minute inlet pipe is opened and the reservoir is filled.
