and x/6 = t - 30 -----(2)

Solving equation (1) and (2)

=> x = 98 mts.

 

53)A Bus is running at 9/10 of its own speed reached a place in 22 hours. How much time could be saved if the bus would run at its own speed ?

 

A) 1.5 hrs             B) 1.7 hrs

C) 2.2 hrs             D) 3.5 hrs

 Answer & ExplanationAnswer: C) 2.2 hrs

 

Explanation:

Let the original Speed be "s" kmph

And the usual time be "t" hrs

Given that if the bus is running at 9s/10 kmph the time is 22 hrs

=> [9s/10] x 22 = t x s

=> 99/5 = t

=> t = 19.8 hrs

Hence, if bus runs at its own speed, the time saved = 22 - 19.8 = 2.2 hrs.

 

54)A train-A passes a stationary train B and a pole in 24 sec and 9 sec respectively. If the speed of train A is 48 kmph, what is the length of train B?

 

A) 200 mts          B) 180 mts

C) 160 mts          D) 145 mts

 Answer & ExplanationAnswer: A) 200 mts

 

Explanation:

Length of train A = 48 x 9 x 5/18 = 120 mts

 

Length of train B = 48 x 24 x 5/18 - 120

 

=> 320 - 120 = 200 mts.

 

55)A jeep travels a certain distance taking 6 hrs in forward journey, during the return journey increased speed 12km/hr takes the times 4 hrs. What is the distance travelled by the jeep is ?

 

A) 244 km           B) 144 km

C) 444 km            D) 344 km

 Answer & ExplanationAnswer: B) 144 km

 

Explanation:

Given a jeep travels a certain distance taking 6 hrs in forward journey

During the return journey, it takes 4 hrs with an increased speed 12 km/hr

Let 'x' be the distance.

Now, speed is given by distance/time.

Here the difference between both speeds = 12

 

 x/4 − x/6 = 12

 (3x − 2x) / 12 = 12

=> x = 144 km

Therefore, the distance travelled by the jeep in forward or return journey is x = 144km

 

56)K' cycled from A to B at 10 kmph and returned at the rate of 9 kmph. 'L' cycled both ways at 12 kmph. In the whole journey 'L' took 10 minutes less than 'K'. Find the distance between A and B ?

 

A) 32.1 km          B) 15.23 km

C) 3.75 km           D) 32.1 m

 Answer & ExplanationAnswer: C) 3.75 km

 

Explanation:

Let 'd' be the distance between A and B

K -time = d/10 + d/9 = 19d/90 hours

L -time = 2d/12 = d/6 hours

We know that, 10 min = 1/6 hours

Thus, time difference between K and L is given as 10 minutes.

=> 19d/90 - d/6 = 1/6

=> (19d-15d)/90 = 1/6

=> 4d/90 = 1/6

Thus,

d= 15/4 km = 3.75 km.

 

hence the distance between A and B is 3.75 km

 

57)An express traveled at an average speed of 100 km/hr, stopping for 4 min after every 75 km. How long did it take to reach its destination 600 km from the starting point ?

 

A) 6 hrs 24 min  B) 6 hrs

C) 7 hrs 21 min   D) 6 hrs 28 min

 Answer & ExplanationAnswer: D) 6 hrs 28 min

 

Explanation:

Time taken to cover 600 km = 600/100 = 6 hrs.

 

Number of stoppages = 600/75 - 1 = 7

 

Total time of stoppages = 4 x 7 = 28 min

 

Hence, total time taken = 6 hrs 28 min.

 

58)K is 50% faster than L. If L starts at 9 A.M. and K starts at 10 A.M. L travels at a speed of 50 km/hr. If L and K are 300 kms apart, The time when they meet when they travel in opposite direction is ?

 

A) 12 pm              B) 1 pm

C) 11 am              D) 11:30 am

 Answer & ExplanationAnswer: A) 12 pm

 

Explanation:

let 't' be the time after which they met since L starts.

 

Given K is 50% faster than L

 

50t + 1.5*50(t-1) = 300

 

50t +75t = 300 + 75

 

t = 375 / 125 = 3 hrs past the time that L starts

 

So they meet at (9 + 3)hrs = 12:00 noon.

 

59)Laxmi and Prasanna set on a journey. Laxmi moves northwards at a speed of 20kmph and Prasanna moves southward at a speed of 30 kmph. How far will be Prasanna from Laxmi after 60 minutes ?

 

A) 24 km              B) 50 km

C) 42 km              D) 30 km

 Answer & ExplanationAnswer: B) 50 km

 

Explanation:

We know 60 min = 1 hr

Total northward Laxmi's distance = 20kmph x 1hr = 20 km

Total southward Prasanna's distance = 30kmph x 1hr = 30 km

Total distance between Prasanna and Laxmi is = 20 + 30 = 50 km.

 

60)Joel travels the first 3 hours of his journey at 60 mph speed and the remaining 5 hours at 24 mph speed. What is the average speed of Joel's travel in kmph ?

 

A) 38 kmph         B) 40 kmph

C) 60 kmph          D) 54 kmph

 Answer & ExplanationAnswer: C) 60 kmph

 

Explanation:

Average speed = Total distance / Total time.

 

Total distance traveled by Joel = Distance covered in the first 3 hours + Distance covered in the next 5 hours.

 

Distance covered in the first 3 hours = 3 x 60 = 180 miles

Distance covered in the next 5 hours = 5 x 24 = 120 miles

 

Therefore, total distance traveled = 180 + 120 = 300 miles.

 

Total time taken = 3 + 5 = 8 hours.

 

Average speed = 300/8 = 37.5 mph.

 

we know that 1 mile = 1.6 kms

 

=> 37.5 miles = 37.5 x 1.6 = 60 kms

 

Average speed in Kmph = 60 kmph.

 

61)Tilak rides on a cycle to a place at speed of 22 kmph and comes back at a speed of 20 kmph. If the time taken by him in the second case is 36 min. more than that of the first case, what is the total distance travelled by him (in km)?

 

A) 132 km           B) 264 km

C) 134 km            D) 236 km

 Answer & ExplanationAnswer: B) 264 km

 

Explanation:

Let the distance travelled by Tilak in first case or second case = d kms

 

Now, from the given data,

 

d/20 = d/22 + 36 min

 

=> d/20 = d/22 + 3/5 hrs

 

=> d = 132 km.

 

Hence, the total distance travelled by him = d + d = 132 + 132 = 264 kms.

 

62)Chennai express left Hyderabad for Chennai at 14 : 30 hours, travelling at a speed of 60 kmph and Charminar Express left Hyderabad for Chennai on the same day at 16 : 30 hours, travelling at a speed of 80 kmph. How far away from Hyderabad will the two trains meet?

 

A) 360 kms          B) 480 kms

C) 520 kms          D) 240 kms

 Answer & ExplanationAnswer: B) 480 kms

 

Explanation:

Now, the distance covered by Chennai express in 2 hrs = 60 x 2 = 120 kms

 

Let the Charminar Express takes 't' hrs to catch Chennai express

 

=> 80 x t = 60 x (2 + t)

 

=> 80 t = 120 + 60t

 

=> t = 6 hrs

 

Therefore, the distance away from Hyderabad the two trains meet = 80 x 6 = 480 kms.

 

63)A goods truck travels from a place at a certain time and at fixed speed. After 6hrs another truck leaves the same place and move in same direction of uniform speed of 90kmph. The truck catches up the goods truck in 4hrs. Find the speed of the goods truck ?

 

A) 36 kmph         B) 32 kmph

C) 28 kmph          D) 34 kmph

 Answer & ExplanationAnswer: A) 36 kmph

 

Explanation:

Let the speed of goods truck be 'p' kmph

Distance covered by goods truck in 10hrs (4+6) = Distance covered by other truck in 4 hrs.

10p = 4 x 90

p = 36kmph.

Therefore, the speed of the goods truck is p = 36 kmph.

 

64)Akhil after travelling 50 km meets Raju who suggests him to go slower. He then proceeds at ¾ of his former speed and arrives at his destination 35 minutes late. Had the meeting occurred 24 km further Akhil would have reached its destination 25 minutes late. What is the initial speed of Akhil?

 

 

 

A) 48 kmph         B) 36 kmph

C) 24 kmph          D) 20 kmph

 Answer & ExplanationAnswer: A) 48 kmph

 

Explanation:

Let the initial speed of Akhil be '4p' kmph

 

Then speed after decrease in speed = '3p' kmph

 

We know that,

Change in speed == Change in time

 

According to the given data,

 

24/3p − 24/4p = (35 − 25)/60=> p = 12

Hence, the initial speed of Akhil = 4p = 4 x 12 = 48 kmph.

 

65)Two trains are running with speeds 30 kmph and 58 kmph respectively in the same direction. A man in the slower train passes the faster train in 18 seconds. Find the length of the faster train?

 

A) 105 mts          B) 115 mts

C) 120 mts          D) 140 mts

 Answer & ExplanationAnswer: D) 140 mts

 

Explanation:

Speeds of two trains = 30 kmph and 58 kmph

 

=> Relative speed = 58 - 30 = 28 kmph = 28 x 5/18 m/s = 70/9 m/s

 

Given a man takes time to cross length of faster train = 18 sec

 

Now, required Length of faster train = speed x time = 70/9  x  18 = 140 mts.

 

66)A Bus travels first half distance between two places with a speed of 40 kmph and the rest half distance with a speed of 60 kmph. The average speed of the Bus is ?

 

A) 48 kmph         B) 50 kmph

C) 46 kmph          D) 42 kmph

 Answer & ExplanationAnswer: A) 48 kmph

 

Explanation:

we know that speed = distance traveled/time taken

let the total distance traveled by the car is 2x km.

then time taken by it to cover first half is x/60 hour.

and for second half is x/40 hour.

Then average speed= total distance travelled / total time taken.

 

i.e. 2x / [x/60+x/40]

=> 2x / (5x/120)

= 48 kmph.

 

67)Two trains running in opposite directions cross a pole placed on the platform in 47 seconds and 31 seconds respectively. If they cross each other in 33 seconds, what is the ratio of their speeds?

 

A) 1:7    B) 7:1

C) 2:3    D) 3:2

 Answer & ExplanationAnswer: A) 1:7

 

Explanation:

Let the speed of the trains be x and y respectively

length of train1 = 47x

length of train2 = 31y

Relative speed= x + y

Time taken to cross each other = 33 s

=> (47x+31y) / x+y= 33

=> (47x + 31 y) = 33(x + y)

=> 14x = 2y

=> x/y = 2/14 = 1/7

 

 = 1:7

 

68)Ali and Faizer are 27m apart. They both start walking and meet 9 hrs later, if they travel in the same direction and meet after 3 hrs if they walk in opposite dirction, Ali’s speed must most likely be ?

 

A) 9 m/h              B) 3 m/h

C) 6 m/h              D) 12 m/h

 Answer & ExplanationAnswer: C) 6 m/h

 

Explanation:

let, speed of Ali=X mph and Faizer=Y mph

 

Now, relative speed when Ali is walking int the same direction with Faizer= (X-Y)mph

hence, according to question, 27/(X-Y)=9 ; solving X-Y=3; --- (1)

 

Now relative speed when walking in the opposite direction= (X+Y) mph

hence, according to question, 27/(X+y)=3; solving X+Y=9; --- (2)

 

solving 1 and 2 we get X=6 and Y=3, where X is the speed of Ali.

 

69)The ratio of the speeds of a car, a jeeps and a tractor is 3 : 5 : 2. The speed of the jeep is 250 per cent of the speed of the tractor and tractor covers 360 km in 12 hours. What is the average speed of car and jeep together?

 

A) 50 kmph         B) 60 kmph

C) 70 kmph          D) 80 kmph

 Answer & ExplanationAnswer: B) 60 kmph

 

Explanation:

Speed of tractor = 360/12 = 30 kmph

 

Speed of jeep = 250 x 30/100 = 75 kmph

 

But, given ratio of speed of car, jeep and tractor is 3 : 5 : 2

 

Speed of car = 3 x 75/5 = 45 kmph

 

 

 

Required, average speed of car and jeep = 75 + 45/2 = 60 kmph.

 

70)A bike runs at the speed of 35 km/h when not serviced and runs at 55 km/h, when serviced. After servicing the bike covers a certain distance in 5 h. How much approximate time will the bike take to cover the same distance when not serviced?

 

A) 8 hrs B) 7.5 hrs

C) 7 hrs D) 6.5 hrs

 Answer & ExplanationAnswer: A) 8 hrs

 

Explanation:

Given speed of the bike after servicing = 55 kmph

 

Time taken for travelling some distance at 55 kmph = 5 hrs

 

Then,

 

Distance = Speed x Time = 55 x 5 = 275 kms.

 

Now,

 

Speed of the bike before servicing = 35 kmph

 

Distance = 275 kms

 

Now, Time = Distance/Speed = 275/35 = 7.85 hrs =~ 8 hrs

 

71)Two cars, a Maruthi and a Toyato, start at the same time in opposite directions from two distinct points A and B. Starting from A, the Maruthi reaches B in 6 hrs 20 minutes and the Toyato starting from B, reaches A in 4 hrs 45 minutes. What is the speed of the Toyato, if the speed of the Maruthi is 60 Km/h?

 

A) 75 kmph         B) 80 kmph

C) 86 kmph          D) 90 kmph

 Answer & ExplanationAnswer: B) 80 kmph

 

Explanation:

Let the distance between A and B = D

 

Given the speed of maruthi = 60 kmph

 

Maruthi reaches from A to B in 6 hrs 20 min = 6 + 20/60 = 6 1/3 hrs

 

Now, the distance between A & B = D = speed x time = 60 x 19/3 = 380 kms

 

As the distance is same for toyato also,

 

given time for toyato = 4 hrs 45 min = 4 + 45/60 = 4 3/4 = 19/4 hrs

 

speed of toyato = distance/time = 380/19/4 = 380 x 4/19 = 80 kmph.

 

72)An inspector is 228 meter behind the thief. The inspectorruns 42 meters and the thief runs 30 meters in a minute. Inwhat time will the inspector catch the thief?

 

A) 19 minutes     B) 20 minutes

C) 18 minutes     D) 21 minutes

 Answer & ExplanationAnswer: A) 19 minutes

 

Explanation:

Inspector s 228 meter behind the thief and now aftersome x distance he will catch the thief. So

x/30 = 228+x/42 => x = 570 m

(228 + 570) / 42 = 19 min

 

73)Three  cars A, B and C  started  from  a  point at 5  pm, 6  pm  and 7  pm respectively and travelled at uniform speeds of 60 km/hr, 80 km/hr and x km/hr respectively in the same direction. If all the three met at another point at the same instant during their journey, then what is the value of x?

 

A) 120   B) 110

C) 105   D) 100

 Answer & ExplanationAnswer: A) 120

 

Explanation:

Distance covered by A till 6pm = 60 km

 

Distance covered by A till 7 pm = 120 km

 

Time taken by B to catch A = 60/(80-60 ) = 3 hrs

 

So A and B will meet at 6pm + 3 hrs = 9pm

 

Since we know that all three met at the same time

 

The time taken by C to cover 120 km

 

difference will be  = 9pm –7pm = 2hrs

 

Therefore,(x –60 )*2 = 120x = 120 km/hr

 

74)A plane is going in circles around an airport. The plane takes 3 minutes to complete one round. The angle of elevation of the plane from a point P on the ground at time t seconds is equal to that at time (t + 30) seconds. At time (t + x) seconds, the plane flies vertically above the point P. What is x equal to?

 

A) 75 seconds     B) 90 seconds

C) 105 seconds  D) 135 seconds

 Answer & ExplanationAnswer: C) 105 seconds

 

Explanation:

Let the plane be at point A at t se

conds and at point B

after t + 30 seconds

Since the motion is uniform, we can say that at time t+15 seconds, the plane is above the point is

diametrically opposite to the point P from where the angle is same.

Now since the time taken to cover the full circ

le is 3 minutes (180

seconds), the time taken by the plane

to reach the diametrically opposite point will be 90 seconds.

So the time after which the plane reaches the point P will be = t+ 15 + 90 seconds = (t + 105 )seconds

(a) 25 minutes

(b) 30 minutes

(c) 20 minutes

(d) None of these

 

Ans (C)

 

here, s1 = 42 and s2= 28

stoppage time/hr = (s1-s2) / s1

                 = (42 - 28) / 42

                 = 1/3 hour

                 = 20 minutes

 

88)Walking at the rate of 4 kmph a man cover certain distance in 2 hr 45 min. Running at a speed of 16.5 kmph the man will cover the same distance in.

 

A.12 min

B.25 min

C.40 min

D.60 min

 

     

Solution:

Option(C) is correct

 

Distance = Speed × time

 

Here time = 2hr 45 min = 11/4 hr

 

Distance = 4×11/4=11 km

 

New Speed =16.5 kmph

 

Therefore time = D/S=11/16.5=40 min

 

89)   Two trains starting at the same time from 2 stations 200 km apart and going in opposite direction cross each other at a distance of 110 km from one of the stations. What is the ratio of their speeds?

 

A.11:9

B.7:3

C.18:4

D.None of these

 

Solution:

Option(A) is correct

 

In same time, they cover 110 km and 90 km respectively.

 

For the same time speed and distance is inversely proportional.

 

So ratio of their speed = 110:90 = 11: 9

 

90)A train covers a distance in 50 min, if it runs at a speed of 48 kmph on an average. The speed at which the train must run to reduce the time of journey to 40 min will be.

 

A.45 kmph

B.60 kmph

C.75 kmph

D.None of these

 

Solution:

Option(B) is correct

 

Time = 50/60=56 hr

 

Speed = 48 mph

 

Distance  = S×T=48×5/6=40 km

 

Time = 40/60 hr

 

New speed = 40×3/2=60 kmph

 

91) A passenger train takes two hours less for a journey of 300 km if its speed is increased by 5 km/hr from its normal speed. The normal speed is:

 

A.35 km/hr

B.50 km/hr

C.25 km/hr

D.30 km/hr

 

Solution:

Option(C) is correct

 

Let the normal speed be 's' km/hr

 

Then new speed = (s+5) km/hr

 

300/s−2=300/s+5

 

On solving this equation we get:

 

s = 25 km/hr

 

92)In covering a distance of 30 km, Abhay takes 2 hours more than Sameer. If Abhay doubles his speed, then he would take 1 hour less than Sameer. Abhay's speed is:

 

A.5 kmph

B.6 kmph

C.6.25 kmph

D.7.5 kmph

Answer: Option A

 

Explanation:

 

Let Abhay's speed be x km/hr.

 

Then,     30/x - 30/2x        = 3

 6x = 30

 x = 5 km/hr.

 

93) The ratio between the speeds of two trains is 7 : 8. If the second train runs 400 km in 4 hours, then the speed of the first train is:

 

A.70 km/hr

B.75 km/hr

C.84 km/hr

D.87.5 km/hr

Answer: Option D

 

Explanation:

 

Let the speed of two trains be 7x and 8x km/hr.

 

Then, 8x = 400/4 = 100

 

x = 100/8= 12.5

 

94)A man on tour travels first 160 km at 64 km/hr and the next 160 km at 80 km/hr. The average speed for the first 320 km of the tour is:

 

A.35.55 km/hr

B.36 km/hr

C.71.11 km/hr

D.71 km/hr

Answer: Option C

 

Explanation:

 

Total time taken =160/64 + 160/80hrs.=9/2          hrs.

Average speed =              320 x 2/9 km/hr                = 71.11 km/hr.
