Answers :

1) Answer: B

Distance = 45 * t/60 = 3t/4

Distance = 54 * (t – 40)/60 = 9/10 * (t – 40)

3t/4 = 9t/10 – 36

36 = 6t/40

t = 240

Distance = 3 * 240/4 = 180 km


2) Answer: B

Ratio of the new speed to usual speed = 150: 100 = 3:2

Ratio of new time to usual time = 2: 3

Required time = 20/(3-2)*3 = 60 mins


3) Answer: A

Speed of bike = 312/6 = 52 kmph

Speed of car = 5/4 * 52 = 65 kmph

Required time = 715/65 = 11 hours


4) Answer: C

Let the total distance=x km

Speed=Distance/Time

x/8-x/10=12

5x-4x=480

x=480

Usual speed of the car=480/8=60 km/hr

Required distance=60*120/100*5=360 km


5) Answer: E

Speed of train = 6x

Speed of bus = 5x

D/6x = (D – 180)/5x

5D = 6D – 180 * 6

D = 1080

We cannot find the time taken as we don’t know the speed of the train.


6) Answer: D

D/80 = t + 3

D = 80t + 240

(D + 220)/(80 * 125/100) = 2t + 1

D + 220 = 200t + 100

D = 200t – 120

80t + 240 = 200t – 120

120t = 360

t = 3


7) Answer: B

Let total distance be x km

speed = Total distance / Total time

x/5 – x/13 = 8

(13x-5x)/65 = 8

8x/65 = 8

x= 65 km

Actual speed = 65/5 = 13 kmph

Required distance = 13 * 4 = 52 km


8) Answer: D

Speed of train = 560 /7 = 80 kmph

Speed of car = 80 * 150/100 = 120 kmph

D/80 = (x + 3.5)

80 * (x + 3.5) = D

D/120 = x

D = 120x

80x + 280 = 120x

x = 7

D = 120 * 7 = 840 km


9) Answer: B

S= (n/2) * (2a + (n – 1) * d)

360 = (n/2) * (2 * 60 + (n – 1) * 20)

720 = 120n + 20n2 – 20n

n2 + 5n – 36 = 0

n2 + 9n – 4n – 36 = 0

n(n + 9) – 4(n + 9) = 0

n = 4 hours (Neglecting the negative value)


10) Answer: C

Let speed of Y = a km/h

Speed of X = 300% of a = 3a

According to question

960/8 = (3a + a)

4a = 120

a = 30

Speed of Y = 30 km/h
