Q:

A train 125 m long passes a man, running at 5 km/hr in the same direction in which the train is going, in 10 seconds. The speed of the train is ?

A) 45 kmph	B) 25 kmph
C) 30 kmph	D) 50 kmph

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 50 kmph

Explanation:

Speed of the train relative to man = (125/10) m/sec = (25/2) m/sec.
[(25/2) x (18/5)] km/hr = 45 km/hr.
Let the speed of the train be 'S' km/hr.
Then, relative speed = (S - 5) km/hr.
S - 5 = 45 => S = 50 km/hr.

A) Rs. 112.50	B) Rs.150.25
C) Rs.167.50	D) Rs.170

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Rs. 112.50

Explanation:

$g a i n i n 2 y e a r s = R s . [(5000 * \frac{25}{4} * \frac{2}{100}) - (\frac{5000 * 4 * 2}{100})]$

= Rs. (625 - 400)

= Rs. 225

$g a i n i n 1 y e a r = R s . (\frac{225}{2}) = 112.50$

Q:

The length of a rectangular plot is 20 metres more than its breadth. If the cost of fencing the plot @ Rs. 26.50 per metre is Rs. 5300, what is the length of the plot in metres?

A) 20	B) 200
C) 300	D) 400

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 200

Explanation:

Let length of plot = L meters, then breadth = L - 20 meters

and perimeter = 2[L + L - 20] = [4L - 40] meters

[4L - 40] * 26.50 = 5300

[4L - 40] = 5300 / 26.50 = 200

4L = 240

L = 240/4= 60 meters.
