time and distance Model Questions & Answers, Practice Test for ssc chsl tier 1 2024

Question :11

In covering certain distance, the average speeds of X and Y are in the ratio 4 : 5. If X takes 45 minutes more than Y to reach the destination, then what is the time taken by Y to reach the destination?

Answer: (a)

Time taken by X and Y to covered distance is 5x and 4x respectively

∴ 5x – 4x = 45 min

x = 45 min

∴ Time = 4x = 45 × 4 = 180 min

Question :12

Excluding stoppages, the speed of a bus is 54 km/hr and including stoppages, it is 45 km/hr, for how many minutes does the bus stop per hour?

Answer: (c)

Stoping per hour = ${54-45}/45×60$

= $9/45×60=12$ min

Question :13

A motor boat, whose speed is 15 km/ hour in still water goes 30 km down–stream and comes back in a total of 4 hour and 30 minutes. The speed of the stream is

Answer: (b)

Let the speed of stream be 'x' km/hour.

⇒${30}/{(15 + x)} + {30}/{(15 - x)}$ = 4.5

⇒${15 - x + 15 + x}/{(15 + x)(15 - x)} = {4.5}/{30}$

⇒${30}/{225 - x^2} = {45}/{300}$

⇒225 – $x^2$ = 200

⇒$x^2$ = 25

⇒x = 5

So, option (b) is correct

Question :14

Two men P and Q start from a place walking at 5 km/h and 6.5 km/h, respectively. What is the time they will take to be 92 km apart, if they walk in opposite directions?

Answer: (d)

∵ Time = ${\text"Distance"}/{\text"Speed"} = {92}/{6.5 + 5} = {92}/{11.5}$= 8 h

Question :15

By increasing the speed of his car by 15 km/hour, a person covers 300 km distance by taking an hour less than before. The original speed of the car was

Answer: (a)

Let the original speed of car be = x km/hour

${300}/x - {300}/{(x + 15)}$ = 1

⇒${x + 15 - x}/{(x + 15)x} = 1/{300}$

⇒$x^2$ + 15x – 4500 = 0

⇒(x + 75)(x – 60) = 0

⇒x ≠ – 75

x = 60

So, option (c)is correct.
