Questions and Answers

Q 1 - A competitor runs 200 meters race in 24 seconds. His rate is:

A - 20 km/hr

B - 24 km/hr

C - 28.5 km/hr

D - 30 km/hr

Answer : D

Explanation

Speed = 200/24 m/sec = (200/24* 18/5) km/hr = 30 km/hr

Q 2 - A man beginning from his home covers a separation at 15 km/hr and come back to the beginning spot at 10 km/hr. His normal velocity amid entire excursion is:

A - 11 km/hr

B - 12 km/hr

C - 25/2 km/hr

D - 13 km/hr

Answer : B

Explanation

Average speed = 2xy/(x+y) km/hr = 2*15*10/(15+10) km/hr = 12 km/hr

Q 3 - By strolling at 3/4 of his standard speed, a man achieves his office 20 min. later than Normal. His standard time is:

A - 30 min

B - 60 min

C - 75 min

D - 1 hr.30 min

Answer : B

Explanation

At a speed of 3/4 of the usual speed , time taken = 4/3 of usual time
∴ (4/3 of usual time) - (usual time) = 20 min.
Let the usual time be x min. then, (4x/3 - x) = 20 ⇒x = 60 min.
∴usual time is 60 min.

Q 4 - Two auto begins in the meantime from one point and moves along two streets at right edges to one another. Their rates are 36 km/hr and 48 km/hr individually. After 15 sec, the contrast between them will be?

A - 150 m

B - 250 m

C - 300 m

D - 400 m

Answer : B

Explanation

36 km/hr = (36*5/18)m/sec= 10 m/sec.
Distance covered in 15 sec. A= (10*15) m = 150 m
48 km/hr = (48*5/18) m/sec = 40/3 m/sec.
Distance covered in 15 sec. = B = (40/3 *15) m = 200 m
Distance between A and B = AB= √ (150)2+ (200)2m = √62500 m = 250 m

Q 5 - Sunil spreads a separation by strolling for 6 hours .While giving back his pace, diminishes by 1 km/hr and he takes 9 hr. to cover the same distance. What was his velocity consequently traveled?

A - 2km/hr

B - 3km/hr

C - 5km/hr

D - cannot be resolved

Answer : A

Explanation

Let the speed in return journey be x km/hr. then
6(x+1) = 9x
⇒3x= 6 ⇒ x= 2
Hence, the speed in return journey is 2 km/hr

Q 6 - Two trains begin from stations A and B and travel towards one another at 50 km/hr and 60 km/hr separately. At the season of their meeting, the second prepare has voyage 120 km more than the first. The separation in the middle of A and B is:

A - 990 kms

B - 1200 kms

C - 1320 kms

D - 1440 kms

Answer : C

Explanation

Let the two train meet after x hours . Then,
60x-50x-=120⇒ 10x =120⇒x=12hrs.
Distance AB = (distance covered by slower train) + (distance covered by fast train)
= [(150*12)+(60*12)]km=(600+720)km=1320km.

Q 7 - A man ventures 35 km halfway at 4 km/hr and at 5 km/hr. in the event that he covers previous separation at 5 km/hr and later separation at 4 km/hr, he could cover 2 km more in the same time. The time taken to cover the entire separation at unique rate is:

A - 9 hours

B - 7 hours

C - 8 hours

D - 13/2 hours

Answer : C

Explanation

Suppose the man covers first distance in x hrs and the second distance in y hrs. then,
4x+5 y = 35 ... (a)    And 5x+4 y = 37 ...(b)
On solving (a) and (b), we get x= 5, y = 3
Total time taken = (5+3) = 8 hrs.

Q 8 - Laxman needs to cover 6 km in 45 minutes. On the off chance that he covers one portion of the separation in 2/3 rd time, what ought to be his rate to cover the remaining separation in the remaining time?

A - 12 km/hr

B - 16 km/hr

C - 8 km/hr

D - 6 km/hr

Answer : A

Explanation

Time left = (1/3*45/60)hr = 1/4 hr, distance left = 3 km
Speed required = 3/ (1/4) km/hr = 12 km/hr

Q 9 - The proportion between the rates of going of An and B is 2:3 and in this manner A takes 10 minute more than the time taken by B to achieve a destination. In the event that A had strolled at twofold speed, he would have secured the separation in

A - 30 min

B - 25 min

C - 20 min

D - 15 min

Answer : D

Explanation

Ratio of time taken by A and B = 1/2: 1/3
Suppose B takes x min. Then, A takes (x+10) min.
∴(x+10): x= 1/2: 1/3 = 3:2 ⇒ x+10/x = 3/2 ⇒ 2x+20 = 3x ⇒x = 20
Thus B takes 20 min. and A takes 30 min.
AT double speed A would covers it in 15 min.

Q 10 - A certain separation is secured by cyclist at a sure speed. On the off chance that a jogger covers a large portion of the separation in twofold the time, the proportion of the rate of the jogger to that of the cyclist is:

A - 1:2

B - 2:1

C - 1:4

D - 4:1

Answer : C

Explanation

Let distance = d meters and time taken by cyclist = t sec.
Speed of the cyclist = d/t m/sec.
Again, distance = d/2 meters, time taken by jogger = 2t sec.
Speed of the jogger = (d/2)/2t m/sec. = d/4t m/sec.
Ratio of speeds of jogger and cyclist = d/4t: d/t =   1/4:1 = 1:4
