Question :11

It takes eight hours for a 600 km journey, if 120 km is done by tain 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

Answer: (a)

Let the speed of the train be x km/hr and that of the car be y km/hr.

Then, $120/x + 480/y = 8$ or $1/x + 4/y = 1/15$ ...(1)

And, $200/x + 400/y = 25/3$ or $1/x + 2/y = 1/24$ ...(2)

Solving (1) and (2), we get

x = 60 and y = 80.

∴ Ratio of speeds = 60 : 80 = 3 : 4.

Question :12

The metro service has a train going from Mumbai to Pune and Pune to Mumbai every hour, the first one at 6 a.m. The trip from one city to other takes 4$1/2$ hours, and all trains travel at the same speed. How many trains will you pass while going from Mumbai to Pune if you start at 12 noon?

Answer: (a)

If you start at 12 noon, you would reach at 4 : 30 PM. You would be able to meet the train which left Mumbai at 8 AM, 9 AM, 10 AM, 11 AM, 12 Noon, 1 PM, 2 PM, 3 PM and 4 PM – a total of 9 trains.

Question :13

On a journey across Kolkata, a taxi averages 40 kmph for 60% of distance, 30 kmph for 20% of the distance, and 10 kmph for the remainder. The average speed of the whole journey is

Answer: (a)

Let total distance be d.

time taken for 60% distance = ${0.6d}/40 = {3d}/200$ h

time taken for 20% distance = ${0.2d}/30 = d/150$ h

time taken for remaining 20% distance = ${0.2d}/10 = d/50$ h

average speed = $d/{{3d}/200 + d/150 + d/50}$

= ${200 × 150 × 50}/{22500 + 10000 + 30000} = {200 × 150 × 50}/62500$

= 24 kmph

Question :14

A, B, and C are three participants in a kilometer race. If A can give B a start of 40 metres and B can give C a start of 25 metres, how many metres of a start can A give to C?

Answer: (c)

When A covers 1000 m, B covers 960 m.

Similarly, when B covers 1000 m, C covers 975 m.

∴ When B covers 960 m, C covers $975/1000 × 960$ = 936 m.

Thus, A can give a start to C by a distance

= (1000 – 936) m = 64 m.

Question :15

The area of a square park is 25 sq. km. The time taken to complete a round of the field once, at a speed of 3 km/hour is

Answer: (a)

Side of square park = $√25$ km = 5 km

Perimeter of park = 4 × 5 = 20 km

Time taken = ${20 km}/{3{km} / h}$ = 6 hours 40 minutes
