Question : 1
It takes eight hours for a 600 km journey, if 120 km is done by train and the rest by car. It takes 20 minutes more, if 200 km is done by train and the rest by car. The ratio of the speed of the train to that of the car is :
a) 3 : 4
b) 4 : 3
c) 4 : 5
d) 3 : 5
Answer »Answer: (a)
Let the speed of train be x kmph. and the speed of car be y kmph.
Time = $\text"Distance"/ \text"Speed"$
According to the question,
$120/x + 480/y$ = 8
$15/x + 60/y$ = 1 ...(i)
and, $200/x + 400/y = 25/3$
$8/x + 16/y = 1/3$
$24/x + 48/y$ = 1 ...(ii)
From equations (i) and (ii),
$24/x + 48/y = 15/x + 60/y$
$24/x - 15/x = 60/y - 48/y$
$9/x = 12/y$
$x/y = 9/12 = 3/4$ = 3 : 4
Question : 2
Two trains started at the same time, one from A to B and the other from B to A. If they arrived at B and A respectively 4 hours and 9 hours after they passed each other, the ratio of the speed of the two trains was
a) 3 : 2
b) 4 : 3
c) 5 : 4
d) 2 : 1
Answer »Answer: (a)
Using Rule 11,Time taken by 1st man to reach B after meeting 2nd man at C is '$t_1$' and time taken by 2nd man to reach A after meeting 1st man at C is '$t_2$' then:${\text"Speed of 1st man"(s_1)}/{\text"Speed of 2nd man"(s_2)} = √{t_2/t_1}$Distance from A to B = $s_1t_1 + S_2t_2$
Required ratio of the speed of two trains
= $√{9}/√{4} = 3/2$ or 3 : 2
Question : 3
A car travels 80 km. in 2 hours and a train travels 180 km. in 3 hours. The ratio of the speed of the car to that of the train is :
a) 3 : 2
b) 3 : 4
c) 4 : 3
d) 2 : 3
Answer »Answer: (d)
Speed = $\text"Distance"/ \text"Time"$
∴ Speed of car : Speed of train
= $80/2 : 180/3$ = 40 : 60 = 2 : 3
Question : 4
The speed of A and B are in the ratio 3 : 4. A takes 20 minutes more than B to reach a destination. In what time does A reach the destination ?
a) 2 hours
b) 2$2/3$ hours
c) 1$2/3$ hours
d) 1$1/3$ hours
Answer »Answer: (d)
Ratio of speed = 3 : 4
Ratio of time taken = 4 : 3
Let the time taken by A and B be 4x hours and 3 x hours respectively.
Then, $4x - 3x = 20/60 ⇒ x = 1/3$
Time taken by A = 4x hours
= $(4 × 1/3)$ hours = 1$1/3$ hours
Using Rule 9,
Here, $S_1 = 3x, S_2 = 4x$
$t_2 = y, t_1 = y + 20/60 = y + 1/3$
$S_1t_1 = S_2t_2$
$3x(y + 1/3) = 4xy$
3y + 1 = 4y, y = 1
∴ Time taken by A
= 1 + $1/3 = 1{1}/3$ hours
Question : 5
A and B run a 5 km race on a round course of 400 m. If their speed are in the ratio 5 : 4, the number of times, the winner passes the other, is
a) 2
b) 3
c) 5
d) 1
Answer »Answer: (b)
The winner will pass the other, one time in covering 1600m.
Hence, the winner will pass the other 3 times in completing 5km race.
Question : 6
A cyclist, after cycling a distance of 70 km on the second day, finds that the ratio of distance covered by him on the first two days is 4 : 5. If he travels a distance of 42 km. on the third day, then the ratio of distance travelled on the third day and the first day is :
a) 3 : 2
b) 3 : 4
c) 2 : 3
d) 4 : 3
Answer »Answer: (b)
Using Rule 1,
Distance covered on the first day
= $4/5 × 70$ = 56 km
∴ Required ratio = 42 : 56 = 3 : 4
