The following question based on trains topic of quantitative aptitude

Questions : A student rides on bicycle at 8 km/hour and reaches his school 2.5 minutes late. The next day he increases his speed to 10 km/ hour and reaches school 5 minutes early. How far is the school from his house ?

(a) 8 km

(b) 5 km

(c) 10 km

(d) $5/8$ km

The correct answers to the above question in:

Answer: (b)

Let x km. be the required distance.

Difference in time

= 2.5 + 5 = 7.5 minutes

= $7.5/60$ hrs. = $1/8$ hrs.

Now, $x/8 - x/10 = 1/8$

= ${5x - 4x}/40 = 1/8$

$x = 40/8$ = 5 km.

Using Rule 10,
If a man travels at the speed of $s_1$, he reaches his destination $t_1$ late while he reaches $t_2$ before when he travels at $s_2$ speed, then the distance between the two places is D = ${(S_1 × S_2)(t_1 + t_2)}/{S_2 - S_1}$

Here, $S_1 = 8, t_1 = 2.5, S_2 = 10, t_2 = 5$

Distance = ${(S_1 × S_2)(t_1 + t_2)}/{S_2 - S_1}$

= ${(8 × 10)(2.5 + 5)}/{10 - 8}$

= $40 × {7.5}/60$ = 5 km

Question : 1

Walking at a speed of 5 km/hr, a man reaches his office 6 minutes late. Walking at 6 km/hr, he reaches there 2 minutes early. The distance of his office is

a) 4 km

b) 3.5 km

c) 2 km

d) 3 km

Answer: (a)

Let the distance of the office be x km, then

$x/5 - x/6 = 8/60$

${6x - 5x}/30 = 2/15$

x = 2 × 2 = 4 km

Using Rule 10,

Here, $S_1 = 5, t_1 = 6, S_2 = 6, t_2$ = 2

Distance = ${(S_1 × S_2)(t_1 + t_2)}/{S_2 - S_1}$

= ${(6 × 5)(6 + 2)}/{6 - 5}$

= $30 × 8/60$ = 4 km

Question : 2

Shri X goes to his office by scooter at a speed of 30km/h and reaches 6 minutes earlier. If he goes at a speed of 24 km/h, he reaches 5 minutes late. The distance of his office is

a) 21 km

b) 22 km

c) 24 km

d) 20 km

Answer: (b)

Let the distance of office be x km.

$x/24 - x/30 = 11/60$

${5x - 4x}/120 = 11/60$

$x/120 = 11/60$

$x = 11/60$ × 120 = 22 km.

Using Rule 10,

Here, $S_1 = 24, t_1 = 5, S_2 = 30, t_2$ = 6

Distance = ${(S_1 × S_2)(t_1 + t_2)}/{S_2 - S_1}$

= ${24 × 30(5 + 6)}/{30 - 24}$

= ${720 × 11}/{6 × 60}$ = 22 km

Question : 3

If a man walks 20 km at 5 km/ hr, he will be late by 40 minutes. If he walks at 8 km/hr, how early from the fixed time will he reach?

a) 25 minutes

b) 50 minutes

c) 1$1/2$ hours

d) 15 minutes

Answer: (b)

Time taken to cover 20 km at the speed of 5km/hr

= 4 hours.

Fixed time = 4 hours - 40 minutes

= 3 hour 20 minutes

Time taken to cover 20 km at the speed of 8 km/hr

= $20/8$ = 2 hours 30 minutes

Required time

= 3 hours 20 minutes - 2 hours 30 minutes

= 50 minutes

Question : 4

If a train runs at 70 km/hour, it reaches its destination late by 12 minutes. But if it runs at 80 km/ hour, it is late by 3 minutes. The correct time to cover the journey is

a) 2 hours

b) 1 hour

c) 59 minutes

d) 58 minutes

Answer: (b)

Distance of journey = x km

Difference of time

= 12 - 3 = 9 minutes

= $9/60$ hour = $3/20$ hour

$x/70 - x/80 = 3/20$

$x/7 - x/8 = 3/2$

${8x - 7x}/56 = 3/2$

$x/56 = 3/2$

$x = 3/2 × 56$ = 84 km

∴ Required correct time

= $84/70$ hours - 12 minutes

= $(84/70 × 60 - 12)$ minutes

= 72 - 12 = 60 minutes

= 1 hour

Question : 5

A train covers a distance between station A and station B in 45 minutes. If the speed of the train is reduced by 5 km/hr, then the same distance is covered in 48 minutes. The distance between station A and B is

a) 64 km

b) 80 km

c) 55 km

d) 60 km

Answer: (d)

Using Rule 1,
Distance = Speed × Time
Speed = $\text"Distance"/\text"Time"$ , Time = $\text"Distance"/\text"Speed"$
1 m/s = $18/5$ km/h, 1 km/h = $5/18$ m/s

Let the distance between stations be x km, then speed of train

= $x/{45/60} = {4x}/3$ kmph

$x/{{4x}/3 - 5} = 48/60$

${3x}/{4x - 15} = 4/5$

16x - 60 = 15x

x = 60 km

Question : 6

Walking at 5 km/hr a student reaches his school from his house 15 minutes early and walking at 3 km/hr he is late by 9 minutes. What is the distance between his school and his house ?

a) 8 km

b) 3 km

c) 2 km

d) 5 km

Answer: (b)

Let the required distance be x km.

Then, $x/3 - x/5 = 24/60$

${5x - 3x}/15 = 2/5$

${2x}/3 = 2$ ⇒ 2x = 2 × 3

x = 3 km

Using Rule 10,

Here, $S_1 = 3, t_1 = 9, S_2 = 5, t_2$ = 15

Distance = ${(S_1 × S_2)(t_1 + t_2)}/{S_2 - S_1}$

= ${(3 × 5)(9 + 15)}/{5 - 3}$

= $15/2 × 24/60$ = 3 km
