Time & Distance Ans

Time and distance – Easy
1. Correct option is : B
Solution:
Distance = diff in time *(S1*S2)/S1-S2
D=[10-4]/60hr * (45*60)/[60-45] = 6/60 * 45*60/15
==>18km
time T=D/S(take any one of the speed. 18/45 =2/5hrs = 2/5*60=24min
then correct time is 24-10=14mins.
Solution:
The total distance covered by the truck in the first 5 hours
= 40 + 42 + 44 + 46 + 48
sum of five terms in AP whose first term is 40 and last term is 48
= 5/2 [40 + 48] = 220 km.
3. Correct option is : D
Solution:
Time taken to meet for the first time = length of the track/ relative speed
= 700 / (45 + 25)
= (700*18)/(70*5) = 36 sec.
Solution :
Let the distance be x, then,
(Time taken to walk x km) + (Time taken to ride x km) =37min.
⇒ (Time taken to walk 2x km) + (Time taken to ride 2x km) = 74 min
But, time taken to walk 2x km = 55 min.
So, Time to ride 2x km = (74 - 55) min ⇒ 19 min
5. Correct option is : C
Solution:
Average speed of whole journey = 30 km/hr
x = speed of first 40 km = 20 km/hr
2 × 20 × y
=⇒ 30 =
20 + y
Y = 60 km/hr
Solution:
In first attempt frog climbs → (40 – 20) = 20 m

Solution:
As the distances are in Arithmetic Progression
n
∵ Sum of n terms in A.P. = {2a + (n – 1)d}
2
n
∴ Total Distance = {2a + (n – 1)d}
2
Given, n = 10, a = 56, d = 6
10
= {2 × 56 + (10 – 1)6}
2
= 5(112 + 54) = 830 km
Solution:
2xy
Average speed = ( )km/hr

Solution:
Distance covered per hour = Relative speed × Time
= (3 + 2) × 1 = 5 km [opposite direction]
∴ Distance covered in 2 hours = 5 × 2 = 10 km.
10. Correct option is : E

Solution:
D = S1 × T + S2 × T
400 = x × 2 + (x + 10) × 2
400 = 2x + 2x + 20
400 – 20 = 4x
4x = 380
x = 95
S1 = 95, S2 = 105
Ration = 95 : 105
= 19 : 21

Solution:
Let 60 km be the length of the lap.
Then time taken by Rachit to complete the lap at 10 km/hr = Distance/speed=
60/10
= 6 hours
60/20
= 3 hours
60/30
= 2 hours
60/60
= 1 hour
Total distance covered = 60 + 60 + 60 + 60 = 240 kms
Total time taken = 6 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 12 hours
Average speed = Total distance/Total time
= 240/12
= 20 km/hr

Solution:
3/4 of speed = 4/3 of original time
4/3 of original time = original time + 18 minutes;
1/3rd of original time = 18 minutes;
Thus, original time = 18*3 = 54 minutes.

Solution:
Total distance = 18*10 = 180
Journey traveled by auto = x hours
30 * x + (10-x )10 = 180
30x + 100 – 10x = 180
20x = 80
x = 4 hours
Distance traveled by auto = 4 * 30 = 120 km

Solution:
40t 1 +60t 2 = d
t 1 /t 2 = 3/2
t1–t2=2
Solving d = 480 Km

Solution:
Speed of bike = 100/2 = 50 km/hr
Speed of train = 4/5 * speed of bike
= (4/5) * 50 = 40 km/hr
Ratio of Speeds of Bus to Train = 4x:5x
So,
Speeds of Bus = 32 km/hr
Distance = 100+32*8+40*9 = 716 km

Solution:
Shaurya’s speed = = 18/1 kmph
7
=> Speed of Pratyusha = 18 × = 42 kmph

17. Correct option is : A

Solution:
we have been given that the man walked for 1 hour 40 min , ie 1 + 2/3 = 5/3 hours.
Let us take that the distance covered by him is m
Then distance left = 5m
Hence total distance = m + 5m
= 6m
⇒ 6m = 24
⇒ m = 24/6
⇒m=4
Hence, we walk 4 km in 5/3 hours.
⇒ 4 km = 4000 meter
⇒ 5/3 hours = 3600 × 5/3
= 6000 sec.
Hence speed = distance / time
Speed = 4000 meter / 6000 sec
= 2/3 m/s

Solution:
Let the fixed charges = Rs. x (for the first 5 km)
and the additional charges = Rs. y /km
As per the question,
x + 5y = 350 ....(i)
x + 20y = 800 ...(ii)
On solving eqn. (i) and (ii), we get
x = 200, y = 30
∴ Charge for a distance of 30 km.
= x + 25y = 200 + 30 × 25 = Rs. 950

Solution:
If R is the reduction in maximum speed and N is the number of passengers, then R
is proportional to N
⇒ R = NK where K is constant of proportionality,
Given data: R = 20, when N = 5, hence K = 4
Maximum number of passenger that bus can’t move = (80 – N × K) = 80 – N × 4
⇒ N = 20
So number of passenger for bust just move = 20 – 1 = 19

Solution:
Let the distance between village and school = x km
Time taken to travel from village to school at a speed of 5 km/h
x
t1 = Hrs
5
Time taken to travel from school to village at a speed of 4 km/h
x
t2 = Hr
4
Given: total time taken = 4 hrs 30 minute
30
t = t1 + t2 =4 hrs
60
9
t = Hrs
2
x X 9
Thus, + =
5 4 2
Or, x = 10 km
∴ The distance between village and school = 10 km

Solution:
Let the speed of auto be x kmph-1 . So, the speed of train will be 6x and that of bike
will be
6x
= = 4x
1.5
As per the given information,
Time taken by auto + Time taken by train + Time taken by bike = 21 hours
132 852 248
⇒ + + = 21
X 6x 4x
132 142 62
or, + + = 21
X x x
or, 21x = 132 + 142 + 62 = 336
336
∴ x= = 16
21
∴ Speed of the train = 6x = 6 × 16 = 96 kmh-1

Solution:
total distance
Average speed =
total time
Total distance = 50 + 130 = 180 miles
180
∴ Total time = = 4 hours.
45
50
Time spent for the first 50 miles = = 2 hours
25
∴ Time spent on the remaining journey = 4 − 2 = 2 hours
130
∴ Average speed for the remaining 130 miles = = 65 mph
2

Solution:
Since different speeds are traveled for equal distance, the average speed can be
found out
(2 × 30 × 50) 300
Average speed = = km/h
(30 + 50) 8
300
Distance covered = × 16 = 600 km

Solution:
Differences in Time taken for both movements are same here.
So, Speed = 2* (increased speed)*(decreased speed) /difference in speed
= 2*8*4 /8- 4
= 2*8*4/4
= 16kmph

Solution:
Speed of the truck= D/T = 294/7 = 42km/hr
Now, Speed of car = (Speed of truck +14) km/hr = 42+14 = 56km/hr
Distance of car = 294+16 = 310 km
Time Taken = 310/56 = 5hr 32 min

Solution:
Relative speed = (65.5 /35) *60 = 786/7 kmph
Speed of A = 786/7 -45 = 471/7 = 67.28 kmph

Solution:
1
The distance travelled at 70 km/h is 70 × 1 = 105 km
2
The distance travelled at 50 km/h is 50 × 3 = 150 km
The total distance travelled is 105 + 150 + 105 = 360 km
1 1
and time taken is 1 + 1 + 3 = 6 hours
2 2
360
∴ Average speed of car fro who journey = = 60 km/h

⇒ = ⇒ average speed = 30 km/hr.
3 avg. speed

Solution:
D=S×T
50 × 30
D=
60
D = 25 km Now new time = 30 × 125% = 37.5 minutes D = S × T
S × 37.5
25 =
60
S = 40 km/h

Solution:
Let the total distance be 3x kms.
∴ The distance travelled in each part is x kms.
x x x
∴ The time taken to cover the three parts is , and respectively.
50 40 30
Now, average speed is total distance covered divided by the total time taken, so we
get,

Solution:
speed= distance/time
Total speed=480/8=60 km/hr
3’s = 480 km
The distance covered by car → 1’s= 160 km

Solution:
Average speed=2xy/(x+y)=2*50*70/120=58 1/3 km/hr

Solution:
D1 =S*T=60*2 15/60= 60*9/4 =135km
Remaining distance=285-135=150 km
D2 =150, S=40 km/hr
T=D/S=150/40=3 ¾ hr (or) 3 hr ¾*60= 3 hr 45 mins
Already 2 hr 15 mins+3 hr 45 min=6 hrs
=>9.30+6= 3.30 pm

Solution:
x/60-x/50=1
10x/(60*50)=1
X=300 km

Solution:
The speed ratio is,
Bus : car : jeep = 2 : 3 : 5
Bus’s speed=480/12=40 km/hr
2’s =40
1’s=20
We substituting this, we get Car’s speed=60,
Jeep’s speed=100 km/hr
Average speed of car and Jeep=160/2=80 km/hr

Solution:
The speed of train and Car is,
Train : car = 18 : 13 = 18x : 13x
Bus’s speed=480/12=40 km/hr
Speed of Bus=5/9*train
Speed of train =9/5* 40= 72 km/hr = 18x
So,
Speed of car = 52 km/hr t=5 hr
Distance covered by car in 5 hours =s*t=52*5=260 km

Solution:
Given, distance between Salem and Koyambedu = 342 km.
Speed of bus = 57 kmph
Time = Distance/Speed
⇒ Time needed by the bus to travel from Koyambedu to Salem = 342/57 hours = 6
hours.
Time actually taken by the bus = 6 hours and 35 minutes.
Bus takes 35 minutes extra ⇒ The compulsory halt time of bus = 35 minutes

Solution:
Both truck and car covers a distance = 640 km
Time taken by truck is 10 hrs.
∴ Speed of truck = 640/10 = 64 km/hr
Time taken by car is 8 hrs.
∴ Speed of car = 640/8 = 80 km/hr
∴ Ratio between speed of truck and car =
Speed of truck : speed of car = 64 : 80 = 4 : 5

Solution:
Distance covered = Speed × Time
⇒Distance = 1100 × 11/5
= 1100 × 2.2
= 2420
Hence distance is 2420 feets.

Solution:
For Forward Journey :
Speed = S kmph
Time = 7 Hrs
Distance = D kms
Distance = (Speed ) × (Time)
D = 7S ................... (i)
For Return Journey
Speed = ( S + 12 ) kmph
Time = 5 hrs
Distance = D kms
Distance = (Speed ) × (Time)
D = (S+12) × 5 ................... (ii)
Distance travelled is same,
So, 7S = 5S + 60
S = 30 kmph
Distance = 30 × 7 = 210 kms

Solution:
For Forward Journey
Distance =120 km
Speed = 60kmph
Time Taken = (Distance Travelled) / (Speed) = 120/60 = 2 hrs
For Backward Journey
Distance =120 km
Speed = 40kmph
Time Taken = (Distance Travelled) / (Speed) = 120/40 = 3 hrs
Total Distance = 120 + 120 = 240
Total Time taken = 3 + 2 = 5
Avg. Speed = (Total Distance Travelled) / (Total Time)
Avg. Speed = 240/5 = 48kmph

Solution:
Say D is the total distance in km.
Time = Distance / Speed
Time taken to cover (2/3) of D at 4 kmph = (2/3) × D/4 = D/6 hours.
Time taken to cover remaining (1/3) of D at 5 kmph = (1/3) × D /5 = D/15 hours.
1 hour 24 minutes = 1 hour + (24/60) hours = 1.40 hours.
∴ Total time = 1.40 hours
So, (D/6) + (D/15) = 1.40
⇒ (7/30) × D = 1.40
⇒ D = 1.40 × (30/7) = 6 km

Solution:
Let one-fourth of the distance between P and Q be x km
then
x
Time taken for the first one-fourth distance = km/hour
10
and

y = 1260
= 1.26 km.

Solution:
Let speed of the car, the train, and the bus be 5a Km/hr , 9a Km/hr and 4a Km/hr
respectively
Given
total speed = (72 × 3) Km/hr = 216 Km/hr
⇒ 5a + 9a + 4a = 216
⇒ 18a = 216
⇒ a = 12Km/hr
⇒ speed of car = 5 × 12 = 60 Km/hr
And
speed of train = 9 × 12 = 108 Km/hr
60 + 108
⇒ their average speed = = 84 Km/hr

Solution:
On upward journey, time taken by him = distance/time
= 800/7 hours
Then on downward journey, time taken by him = 800/9 hours
Total time taken = (800/7) + (800/9)
= (7200 + 5600) / 63 hours
= 12800/63 hours
Total distance = 800 + 800 = 1600 m
Hence,
Average speed = Total distance/ total time
= 1600 / (12800/63)
= 1600× 63/12800
= 7.875 mph

Solution:
Distance = speed × time
Let x be the number of hours he travels at 20 km/h.
Distance covered in this x hours = 20x km
He would have therefore, traveled the balance (8 - x) hours at 70 km/h.
Distance covered in this (8 - x) hours = (8 - x) × 70 = (560 - 70x) km
The total distance traveled = 20x + 560 - 70x = 400
=>160 = 50 x
=>x = (160/50) hours = 3.2 hours = 3 hours and 12 minutes

Solution:
Shyam’s speed = 83.33% of Ram’s speed = 5/6 of Ram’s speed
Ram’s speed: Shyam’s speed = 6 : 5

We know that speed is inversely proportion to time.
So, the respective time taken by Ram and Shyam = 5 : 6
Let Ram takes 5x hours and Shaym takes 6x hours then difference will become
6x – 5x = x = 1 hour 15 minutes
So, the time taken by Ram to reach the school = 5x = 5 × (1 hour 15 minutes) = 6
hours 15 minutes

Solution:
Difference in time taken =40-30= 10min = 10/60 = 1/6 hr
Speed during the next journey= 15+3 =18kmph
So time taken, x/15 –x/18 = 1/6
3x/ (15*18) =1/6
X / (5*18) = 1/6
x = (18*5)/6
Distance (X) = 15km

Solution:
Speed of 2 truck = [(400 + 200)/20] * [18/5] kmph = 108 kmph
16. Correct option is: C

Solution:
Let speeds be x km/hr and y km/hr
So 225/(x+y) = 3 And
225/(x/2 + 2y/3) = 5
Solve, x = 30, y = 45

Solution:
Distance = x
Initial Speed of car = y ((x/y) – x/(y + 20)) = 3
20x/y2 + 20y = 3
x/(y – 20) – x/y = 4.5
20x/(y2 – 20y) = 4.5
3y2 + 60y = 4.5y2 – 90y
3y + 60 = 4.5y – 90
1.5y = 150
y = 100 kmph
20x/(100 * 100 + 20 * 100) = 3
x = 1800 km

Solution:
Raj Covers distance in 3 hrs= 3*30=90 km
Remaining distance=650-90=560 km
Relative speed=30+40=70 km
S=D/T=560/70=8 hrs
Raj covers total distance in (8+3=11hrs)
The distance between p and m is 11*30=330 km

Solution:
s=usual speed
50/(s+10)+50/(s-10)=12
(50(s-10)+50(s-10))/(s2 -100)=12
100s=12s2 -1200
3s2 -25s-300=0
s=15
Faster speed y=15+10=25kmph

Solution:
Let total distance = 100x
Distance covered by car = 20% of 100x = 20x
5 5
Distance covered by Train = × 50% of (100x – 20x) = × 40 x = 25x

Solution:
Distance covered by Amitabh in 2 hours = 2 × 20 = 40 km
Time taken by Dharmendra to overtake Amitabh
40
= = 4 hours
30 – 20
This implies Amitabh had started 6 hrs before he was overtaken.
Distance covered by Dharmendra in this 4 hours = 30 × 4 = 120 km
120
Time take by Jitendra to cover = = 3 hours
40
It means Jitendra starts (6 – 3) = 3 hours after Amitabh.
22. Correct option is: D

Solution:
Approach 1:
The total time saved by them is 10 minute, which can be divided equally between
the car going to the station and coming back, i.e. 5 minute both ways.
∴ Instead of 5 pm, he must have met Sakshi at 4 : 55 pm
∵ Sakshi started walking at 4 pm, she walked for 55 minute.
Approach 2:
Let the husband's speed while driving the car is 60 km/hr which means he covers 1
km in 1 minute.
Usual time taken by him while going to the station and coming back = (60 min to
reach the station + 60 min to come back) = 120 minutes
In the given specific case, they saved 10 minutes time which means the husband
must have taken 110 minutes.
Therefore, the time taken by the husband to meet Sakshi on the way = 110/2 = 55
minutes
Clearly, Sakshi must have walked for 55 minutes.

Solution:
Say speed of Jake is J and Speed of Paul is P.
Given J + P = 7 ……. (Eq.1)
Time = Distance/speed.
⇒ Time taken by Jake to cover 24 km = 24/J hours
⇒ Time taken by Paul to cover 24 km = 24/P hours
Given, sum of times = 14 hours.
⇒ (24/J) + (24/P) = 14
⇒ (1/J) + (1/P) = 7/12
Using Eq.1,
⇒ (J + P)/(JP) = 7/12
⇒ J × P = 12
∴ (J – P)2 = (J + P)2 – 4JP = 72 – 4 × 12 = 1
⇒ (J – P) = 1 ……. (Eq.2)
Eq.1 + Eq.2
⇒ 2J = 8
⇒ J = 4 km/h

Solution:
For 1st hour Relative , Speed = 10 + 5 = 15, Time = 1 hr (Relative speed is in
addition, because both are moving in opposite direction)
Speed × Time = Distance
⇒ Distance covered in first hr = 15 km
Distance Remaining between them = 90 - 15 = 75km
For 2nd hour Speed Relative = 2 × 15 = 30, Time = 1 hr (Because every hour, they
double their speed)
⇒ Distance covered in second hr = 30km
Distance Remaining between them = 75 - 30 = 45km
For 3nd hour Speed Relative = 2 × 30 = 60, Time = x hr, Distance = 45 KM
⇒ Time = 45/60 = 3/4 hr
In third hr the Speed of Tim = 40kmph, time = 3/4 hr
⇒ Distance by Tim in Third Hour = 40 × (3/4) = 30km
In Second hr the Speed of Tim = 20kmph, time = 1 hr
⇒ Distance by Tim in Second Hour = 20 × 1 = 20km
In First hr the Speed of Tim = 10kmph, time = 1 hr
⇒ Distance by Tim in First Hour = 10 × 1 = 10km
Distance Covered by Tim during Journey = 10 + 20 + 30 = 60km

Solution:
Let the distance be x and the difference in time taken by the father and the son =

Solution:
Let time taken from A to B be x hrs.
∴ Time taken from B to A is (3 – x) hrs
Distance between A to B = Distance between B to A
⇒ 40 × x = 45 × (3 - x)
⇒ 40x + 45x = 135
⇒ x = 135/85 = 1.59 hrs
∴ Total distance = 2(40 × x) = 2 × 40 × 1.59 = 127.2 km
∴ Average speed = 127.2/3 = 42.4 km/hr

Solution:
Distance = speed * time
Let the original speed be 100x
Then Decreased speed = 100x * 75/100 = 75x
Distance between house and petrol bunk = 20 * 75x = 1500x
Distance between House and Office = 30 * 100x = 3000x
Required % = (1500x/3000x) * 100 = 50%

Solution:
T = D/S. Let x be the speed
600/x = T+1 , 600/2x = T – 3/2
Equate T

1200-12x = 600+3x ==>x=120km

Solution:
Speed of car A = 2x
Speed of car B = x
Time take to meet = 480/(2x + x) = 160/x
After meet car A reached Delhi takes 240 minutes,
480/2x = (160/x) + (240/60)
240/x – 160/x = 4
80/x = 4 x = 20
Time taken by meet = 160/20 = 8 hours
Time = 8 am + 8 = 4 pm

∴ Difference in the times = 10 hours.

Solution:
Let speed of A was x km/hr.
Thus, speed of B = x+4 km/hr
So, by the time they met, B has travelled (60 + 12) km while A has travelled (60 –
12) km.
Or, B has travelled 24 km more than A.
Since B has a margin of 4 km per hour i.e. he travelled 4 km more every hour, so it
need him 6 hours to travel 24 km more than A

Time is taken by the truck at faster speed = 50/(15+10) = 2 hours.

Solution:
80/x – 80/(x+10) = 16/60= 4/15
300/x -300/x+10 =1

Solution:
S=D/T Here we have two speeds.
We get 2 equations as.
250/1hr = C+B—1 (Travelling in opposite direction, speed must be added ie C+B)
250/5hr = C-B—2 (Travelling in same direction, speed to be subtracted. ie C-B)
solving 2 eqn C=150km/hr.
Solution:
Distance=> P*49 = Q*50 = R*51
P= Distance/49, Q= Distance/50, R= Distance/51
Time => P*10 = Q*9 = R*8
P = Time/10, Q = Time/9, R= Time/8
P’s speed = (Distance/49)/(Time/10) = 10/49
Same like that,
The ratio of speeds of P, Q, R = (10/49) : (9/50) : (8/51)
Hence, P is the fastest.
Solution:
When B started, A is ahead by 40 × 5 = 200 m
But C will catch A before the B as he is faster than the B.
Since A and C run in the same direction, relative speed of C = 60 − 40 = 20 m/min
200
∴ Time taken by C to actually catch A = = 10 mins
20
Distance actually covered by C in this duration = 10 × 60 = 600 m

x + y = 60/1.2
x + y = 50 —- a.
60/y – 60/x = 1 —- b.
Solve equations, we get y = 150 and 20 bt y cannot be
120 as x+y = 50. So y = 20 kmph and x = 30 kmph
Solution:
Distance covered by Shaan in 3 hours = 3 × 50 = 150 km
∴ Remaining distance = 710 – 150 = 560 km
Relative speed = 50 + 30 = 80 kmph
560
∴ They meet after = = 7 hours
80
Now, Shaan covers the total distance in (7 + 3 )= 10 hours
∴Distaance covered by Shaan in 10 hours = 50 × 10 = 500 km
∴ Distance between R and N = 500 km.
Solution:
If Hiten covers 1 km in x seconds, Vikash covers the same distance in (x +10)
seconds.
If Hiten covers 1 km, then in the same time Priyank covers only 875 meter.
If Vikash covers 1 km in (x + 10) sec, then Priyank covers 1 km in (x + 25) sec
Thus in x seconds Priyank covers the distance of 875 meter.
𝑥
⇒ × 1000 = x + 25
875
⇒ x = 175
Time taken by Hiten to complete 1 km = 175 seconds

Solution:
A beats B by 15 sec means A reaches the destination 15 sec ahead of B or B
reaches 15 sec later than B. Let all of them compete in a 2 km or 2000 m race,
now we can compare them as follows:
A beats B by 150 sec, B beats C by 100 sec, C beats D by 80 sec, D beats E by 70
sec, ⇒ E would finish the race 400 sec after A.
Now, if A has to beat E by 800 m then we can say that E will cover the remaining
800m in 400sec, and cover 2000m in 1000 sec. A has to reach 400s earlier i.e in
600 sec,
2000
so A’s speed = = 3.33 m/s.
600
Solution:
In order to meet them at starting point for the first time
The distance covered by A = 400 × n (where n = no of rounds taken by A) (∴ n is
an integer)
The distance covered by B = 400 × m (where m = no of rounds taken by B) (∴ m is
an integer)
Let the time after they meet at the starting point for the 1st time = t seconds
Distance = Speed × time
For A ⇒ 400 × n = 8 × t................. (i)
For B ⇒ 400 × m = 12 × t................. (ii)
Dividing Equation (i) & (ii)
⇒ n/m = 8/12
⇒ n/m = 2/3............ (iii)
As n and m are no. of rounds taken by A & B respectively to meet at the starting
point
⇒ n, m has to be integers
Lowest value for the (n, m) according to Eq. (iii) is (2, 3)
⇒n=2&m=3
Putting Value of n or m in equation (i) or (ii) respectively
⇒ 400 × 2 = 8 × t OR 400 × 3 = 12 × t
⇒ t = 100 seconds
⇒ 1 min 40 seconds

Solution:
Since the track is circular and speed of A relative to B is (10 – 8) = 2 m/s.
⇒ A and B meet after 100/2 = 50 seconds.
A and B meet every 50 seconds thereon.
∵ All three have to meet ⇒ A and B shall meet. C in the opposite direction has to
complete a full round to meet A and B
⇒ C takes 100s to be at the starting point again to meet A and B.
∴ All three meet for the first time after 100s.
Alternatively
A completes a full round in 100/10 = 10 s
B completes full round in 100/8 = 12.5 s
C completes full round in 100/15 = 20/3 s
A, B and C therefore meet after LCM (10, 12.5 and 20/3) seconds
= 100 seconds.

Solution:
Let there are 2 cars, car A and car B.
Let time taken by car A = a hours and Let time taken by car B = b hours
Let the time after which the speed is interchanged be t
For car A,
⇒ 60 × t + 90 × (a-t) = 420,
⇒ 90a - 30t = 420..... ..[1]
For car B,
⇒90t + 60(b—t) = 420,
⇒60b + 30t = 420.... [2]
Adding both (1) and (2),
we get 90a + 60b = 840 -------[3]
But according to information given in the question,
a - b =1,
So, we put the value of b = a - 1 in eqn 3
⇒ 90a + 60(a - 1) = 840
⇒ 90a + 60a – 60 = 840
⇒ 150a = 840 + 60
⇒ 150a = 900
⇒ a= 900/150
⇒a=6
Substituting in equation 1, we have
⇒ 90 × 6 – 30 × t = 420
⇒ 540 – 30t = 420
⇒ 540 – 420 = 30t
⇒ 120 = 30t
⇒ t = 120/30
⇒t=4

Solution:
Car Y reached in Trichy = t
Car X reached in Trichy = t + 3
Speed ratio of X and Y = t : (t + 3)
Distance = t * (t + 3)
t * (t + 3)/(t + t + 3) = 2
t2 + 3t = 4t + 6
t2 – t – 6 = 0
t2 – 3t + 2t – 6 = 0
t(t – 3) + 2(t – 3) = 0
(t + 2)(t -3) = 0
t = -2, 3(negative value neglect)
t = 3 Car Y reached Trichy at after three hours, in time = 11 am + 3 = 2 p.m
Solution:
Let the regular speed of the man = x km/hr.
Now, time = distance/speed
∴ regular time taken by the man to travel the full distance = (8/x) hrs
Case-1:
Distance travelled at regular speed = 8/2= 4 km
∴ time taken to travel this distance = (4/x) hrs ---(1)
Waiting time = 10 mins = 1/6 hrs
⇒ for the remaining 4 kms, the man increases his speed by 2 km/h (i.e. x + 2)
∴ time taken to travel last 4 km = 4/(x + 2) ---(2)
From the given data, we can clearly deduce that:
Regular time = (time taken to travel first 4 km) + (waiting time) + (time taken to
travel last 4 km)

⇒ (x + 8) (x - 6) = 0
Omitting the negative value of speed,
x = 6 km/h
Now, in the second case:
The man travels first 4 kms at its regular speed and waits for 15 mins.
In this case: waiting time = ¼ hrs
Let y = the speed with which he travels the remaining distance.
Again, he reaches the destination in regular time.

∴ 6𝑡1 + 10𝑡2 = 140 _____(i)
After replacing the speed
10𝑡1 + 6𝑡2 = 140 + 8
10𝑡1 + 6𝑡2 = 148 _________(ii)
⇒ On solving (i) and (ii)
𝑡1 = 10 hour and 𝑡2 = 8 hour
Time required in total journey = 𝑡1 + 𝑡2 = 18 hours.

Solution:
Let initial speed of Aman is x km/hr.
Distance travelled by him in 2 hours is 2x km.
While distance travelled by Rajiv in these 2 hours is 75 × 2 = 150 km
When both of them meet, Aman had travelled a distance of 108 km.
Distance travelled by Aman with 25% increase in his speed = (108 – 2x) km
5𝑥
And his increased speed = x (125/100) = km/hr

If Aman had travelled 108 km, Rajiv had travelled 192 km.
192 – 150 = 42 km after 2 hours

After 5 seconds difference between thief and police = 250 - (5 × 10) = 200 m
After 10 seconds more, the difference between thief and police = 200 + (5 × 10) =
250 m.
Now, the time required by police to catch the thief=250/5=50s
Distance travelled = 50 × 20 = 1000 m
Total time = 50 + 15 = 65 s
Total distance = 1000 + (15 × 10) = 1150 m

Solution:
When A and B meet for the first time, both of them have travelled for the same
time.
As a result, the distance covered by them will be equal to the ratio of their speeds
Let the time taken to meet for the first time be ‘T’ hours from the time of the start
A and B would take (T + 8) and (T + 18) hours respectively to cover the entire
distance
⇒ Ratio of the total time taken by A and B = (T + 8) : (T + 18)
If the distance is constant, then the speed is inversely proportional to Time
⇒ Ratio of speeds of A: B = (T + 18) : (T + 8)
Given A’s speed = 96 km/hr
When they meet for the first time, A should have covered (96 × T) kms which is
the distance which B will cover in 18 hours Speed of B = (Distance/Time) = (96 ×
T)/18 kmph
⇒ Ratio of the speeds of A and B = 96 :(96T/18)
⇒ (T + 18) : (T + 8) = 96 : (96T/18)
⇒ (T + 18) : (T + 8) = 18 : T
⇒ (T + 18) × T = (T + 8) × 18
⇒ T2 + 18T = 18T + 144
⇒ T2 = 144 ⇒ T = 1 2 hours
Speed of B = (96 × 12)/18 kmph = 64 kmph
∴ Speed of B = 64 kmph

Solution:
Total distance travelled by Rakesh in his entire lifetime = 30 + 15 +7.5 ….
Sum of infinite terms of a Geometric progression = a/(1-r)
Where a = 1st term, r = common ratio
a = 30, r =0.5
Required distance = 30/(1-0.5) = 60 km

Solution:
Distance covered in 3 minutes = 3*(1000/60) = 50
Now he has to cover (500+50)m in (30-3) minutes
Required speed = (550/1000)/(27/60) = 11/9 km/h

Solution:
Let B and A takes T minutes and (T + 20) minutes respectively. Speed Inversely
proportional to time, So time taken by A and B is
(T + 20) : T = 1/2 : 1/3 = 3 : 2
=> (T + 20)/T = 3/2
=> 2T + 40 = 3T
T = 40
A takes (T + 20) = (40 + 20) = 60 min.
If A had walked at double the speed then the time taken by A is 30 minutes.

Solution:
Suppose the man covers first distance in x hrs and second distance in y hrs.
Then, 4x+5y=35 and 5x+4y = 37 Solving the equations, we get x = 5 and y = 3
Total time taken = (5+3)hrs = 8 hrs.

Solution:
Speed of streamer = 30 km/hr
Speed of rail = 70 km/hr
Total distance = 400 km
Now distance travelled by streamer in 9 hours extra
= 9*30 =270 km
Remaining 130 km is travelled by both rail and streamer combined so time taken
by each
= 130/(70 + 30 ) = 1.3 hours
Total distance by streamer
= 270 + 30*1.3 = 309 km

Solution:
Let the speed of D in first hour is x
As D doubles his speed in every hour so distance travelled in 37/8 hours
Distance travelled by D = x + 2x + 4x + 8x+ 16x*(5/8) = 25x
Given ,
25x = 300, x = 12
At the end of four hour C travelled 120 km and D travelled 12 + 24 + 48 + 96 =
180 km
And 120 + 180 = 300 km
So they meet each other after four hours i.e., 5:00 pm

Solution:
Distance travelled by the first car in 4 hours =Speed ×
Time = 55 × 4 = 220 km
Remaining distance = 320 – 220 = 100 km
Time for both cars to meet = Distance/(Relative Speed) =100/(55+45)=100/100=1
hour
∴ Both the cars will meet after 1 hours means at (11am + 1) = 12 noon.
27. Correct option is: B

Solution:
Distance travelled by them in first hour = 12 km Distance travelled by them in
second hour = 13 km and so on
In 9 hours both will cover exactly 144 km.
In 9 hours each will cover half the total distance.

Solution:
Let the speed of Bhanu be ‘y’ km/hr

Solution:
Distance travelled by Veer in two hours = 90*2 =180 m
Now, distance between Veer and Anurag at 5:00 pm.
= 1080 -180 = 900km
Time in which they meet each other = 900/(90+110) = 4.5 hours
Required time = 5:00 pm + 4.5 hour = 9:30 pm

Solution:
Distance travelled by Abhishek in 4 hours = 8*4 =32 km
Distance travelled by Ayush in 4 hours = 13 * 4 = 52 km
Now , speed of Abhishek = 8 * 2 =16 km/hr
Speed of Ayush = 13 -1 = 12km/hr
Relative speed =16 -12 = 4km/hr
Distance between both = 52 -32 = 20 km

Solution:
Let, Speed of car = x km/hr
Speed of bus = y km/hr
ATQ,
Distance covered by bus in one hour = Distance between bus and car in 8 hour
=> y = 8(y – x)
y = 8y – 8x
8x = 7y --------- (1)
And x+y =240 --------- (2)
On solving 1 & 2
x = 112, y =128
After T hour bus is 48 km ahead of car
=> (128 – 112) T = 48
48
=> T = = 3

20 unit = 200 mins = 3h 20 mins
So if he leaves at 6 am, he reaches at 9:20 am
Basic method:
Let the distance to office be d km
Let the speed of the bike = s kmph and time taken to reach office normally be ‘t’
hours
On normal days when he reaches on time
=> t = d/s
On the day given when he got into traffic for 20 minutes.
=> For 80% distance (i.e., 4d/5) speed =s
=> For 20% distance (i.e., d/5) speed = s(1-20/100) = 4s/5
He reaches ½ hour late

Solution:
Distance travelled in t hours at x kmph
D = x * t -------(1)
Distance travelled in t-2 hours at x+4 kmph is,
D = (x+4)*(t-2)
D =xt – 2x + 4t – 8
D = D – 2x + 4t – 8 ------ (sub (1))
2x – 4t + 8 =0
If speed (x) or time (t) is given we can find other value otherwise we can’t
determine any value.

Solution:
Andrew covers a distance of 0.5 km in 2 minutes and 40 seconds= 160 seconds
Therefore, Andrew will cover 25 km in (25/0.5)*160 seconds = 8000 seconds
James covers 0.5 km distance in 3 minutes and 30 seconds = 200 seconds
Distance covered by James in 8000 seconds = (8000/200)*0.5 km = 20 km
Therefore the distance with which Andrew win a 25 km marathon = (25 -20) km =
5 km

Solution:
From option (A)
Time taken by car A travels 20% of the distance = x
Time taken by car B travels 20% of the distance = (x -2)
Speed of car A = y
Speed of car B = 3y

Distance = * D = D/5
100
D/5 = xy
D/5 = (x-2) * 3y
xy = (x-2) * 3y
x = 3x – 6
x =3
Distance (D) = 3 * y * 5 = 15y
Time taken by car B = 15y/3y = 5 hours
This satisfied the given condition.

D/5 = (x-2) * y
This is not satisfied
From option (D)
Distance = 120 km
Speed of car B = z
Speed of car A = y

36 =( s -6) * (t+1) ------------(2)
From 1 and 2
36/(s-6) – 36/s = 1
s2 – 6s – 216 = 0
s = -12, 18
s = 18
t = 36/18 = 2
In later case s- 6 = 12
t + 1 =3
Hence, we can find all from the given statement.

Solution:
From option (A)
1st 2 hour distance = 60 * 2 =120
Remaining distance = 560 -120 = 440
Time = 440/(80+60) = 3.1428 hours
Meet each other = 12 + 3.1428 = approximately 3 pm
From option (B)
1st 2 hour distance =70 * 2 =140
Time = 420/(80+70) = 2.8 hours
From option (C)
1st 2 hour distance =40 * 2 =80
Time = 480/(80+40) = 4 hours

Solution:
Hare starts aer tortoise covers 1/5th distance.
When hare covers 1/8th of distance tortoise meets hare
⇒ Distance covered by tortoise while the hare covers 1/8th of the distance = 1 –
(1/5 + 1/8)
= 27/40
Time = Distance/Speed
Time taken by both is same
Let speed of tortoise be t and of hare be h
⇒ 27/(40t) = 1/(8h)
⇒ h = (40/(8×27) ) × t = 5/27 × t
Now for the next part hare has to cover 7/8 th distance when tortoise covers 1/8 th
distance
⇒ 1/(8t) = 7/(8h’)
h’ = 7t [Assuming speed of tortoise is constant] So the factor by which h's speed
increases = h’/h = 7t/(5/27 × t)
= 37.80

Solution:
Time taken by Akash = 4 h
Time taken by Prakash = 3.5 h
For your convenience take the product of times taken by both as a distance.
Then the distance = 14km
Since, Akash covers half of the distance in 2 hours(i.e at 8 am)
Now, the rest half (i.e 7 km) will be coverd by both prakash and akash
Time taken by them = 7/7.5 = 56 min
Thus , they will cross each other at 8 : 56am.
49. Correct option is :E

Solution:
Total distance covered = 2400 km
Let actual speed of car P is 's' km/hr and actual time taken by car P is 't' hours.
Then,
Distance covered by car P = s * t = 80% of s * (t + 4.2)
t = 16.8 hours
Let time taken by car Q and R are 3a and 4a hours respectively. Then,
Distance covered by Q = 600 km
Speed of R = 600/12.5 = 48 km/hr
Then, speed of car Q = 48 * 5/6 = 40 km/hr
Difference between time taken by car Q and R is 1.8 hours more than the
difference between time taken by P and R.
Case 1:
4a - 3a = 1.8 + 16.8 - 4a
a = 3.72
Then, time taken by Q = 3 * 3.72 = 11.16 hours
And, time taken by R = 4 * 3.72 = 14.88 hours
Now, speed of Q = 600/11.16 = 53.76 km/hr ≠ 40 km/hr
Therefore, this case is invalid.
Case 2:
4a - 3a = 1.8 + 4a - 16.8 a = 5
Then, time taken by Q = 3 * 5 = 15 hours
And, time taken by R = 4 * 5 = 20 hours
Now, speed of Q = 600/15 = 40 km/hr (this case is valid)
Then, distance covered by R = 20 * 48 = 960 km
Therefore, distance covered by P = 2400 - 600 - 960 = 840 km
And, speed of P = 840/16.8 = 50 km/hr
From I: Speed of car P = 50 km/hr
From II: Distance covered by R = 960 km
From III: Difference between time taken by car R and P = 20 – 16.8 = 3.2 hours
From IV: Time taken by R = 20 hours
Hence all (I), (II), (III) and (IV) can be determined.

Solution:
Let the speed of the car from Patna be x and the speed of the car from Gaya be y.
110
Then, =1
x+y
So, x + y = 110 ....(i)
110
And, = 11
x–y
∴ x – y = 10 ....(ii)
From equation (i) and (ii), we get
x = 60 kmph, y = 50 kmph
So, the speed of car from Gaya = 50 kmph
