Answer: (c)

Shortest Distance, BC = $√{5^2 + 12^2}$ = 13 km

B's daily earning = Rs. (300 – 188) = Rs. 112.

A's daily earning = Rs. (300 – 152) = Rs. 148.

C's daily earning = Rs. [300 – (112 + 148)] = Rs. 40

Here, distance to be covered by the thief and by the owner is same.

Let after 2 : 30 p. m., owner catches the thief in t hrs.

Then, 60 × t = 75 $(t - 1/2)⇒t = 5/2$hrs

So, the thief is overtaken at 5 p.m.

Answer: (a)

Part filled by pipe A in 1 min = $1/{10}$

Part empty by pipe B in 1 min = $1/{15}$

∴ Total tank filled in minutes

= $1/{10} - 1/{15} - {3 - 2}/{30} = 1/{30}$

Hence, the tank will be filled in 30 min.

Answer: (b)

1 minute's work of both the punctures = $(1/9 + 1/6) = 5/{18}$

So, both the punctures will make the tyre flat in ${18}/5 = 3 3/5$ minutes

Alternate Method :-

both the Punctures will make the tyre flat in

$({6 × 9}/{6 + 9}) = {54}/{15} = 3 3/5$minutes
