Q.No Answer Hints / Explanations


1 d The quickest way is to substitute the answer options for John’s speed.
This will give the answer as “d”.
Else
Let John’s speed be j and Peter’s speed be p. Therefore, we have Page | 5
j*1=10+p*1 -> j=10+p
2p*1=15+j*1 -> 2p = 15+j
Substituting for j=10+p we get p =25 and therefore j=35
2 a To convert km/h to m/s, multiply by 5/18. Time = Distance/Speed =
360/20 = 18 secs. Hence “a”
3 b Time = Distance/speed = 200+100/15 = 20 secs. Hence “b”
4 d Let the distance be x
x/3-x/5 = 1/3 -> x = 2.5 kms. Hence “d”
5 a Let the distance be x
x/6-x/8=40/60 ->x=24*2/3 = 16 kms. Hence “a”
6 b Speed of the boat = 12kmph
12/Sb – Sw = 4/3
Sb-Sw = 9; Sw=3
Time taken = 45/15 + 45/9 = 8h. Hence “b”

7 d 14+Sc = 2.5 (Sb-Sc) => 14+Sc = 35 – 2.5 Sc = > Sc = 21/3,5 = 6


kmph. Hence “d”

8 a Let speed of Arjun be x and that of Ajay be 5x/3.


5xt/3 – xt =40
2xt = 120
Xt = 60. Therefore length = 60+40 = 100m Hence ‘a’

9 b Relative speed = 9 kmph or 2.5m/s


Distance covered by cat in one minute = 20/3*60 = 400m
Existing lead = 410m
Time to catch = 410/(5/2) = 820/5 = 164s
Question asks from cat’s run. Therefore 164+60 = 224s. Answer
option “b”
10 d They will meet after 84/63 = 4/3 hrs. Hence “d” (48 kms from P
which is the distance P would have covered in 4/3 hrs)

Q.No Answer Hints / Explanations


11 b Let the length of the train be l and speed be s
L+430 = 30s
L+550 = 36s Page | 6
6s = 120 = > s = 20m/s or 72 kmph. Hence “b’

12 c 30/Sb – Sc = 5 and 24/Sb+Sc = 3


Sb-Sc = 6
Sb+Sc = 8 => Sb = 7 kmph and Sc= 1 kmph. Hence “c”

13 b Let the distance be d and speed be s


3s/4 = 4(s-5)/5
15s=16s-80
S=80 and d = 60km/h. Hence “b”

14 d Distance to be covered = 350m


Speed = 5km/hr = 25/18 m/s
Time = 350*18/25 = 14*18 = 252 s. Hence ‘d’

15 a Let the length of the train be l and speed be s


L+90/s = 12 and L+120/s=15
L+90 = 12S
L+120 = 15S
3S = 30; S =10 m/s or 36km/hr and L = 30. Hence “a”
16 a Let the distance be x. Average speed = Total distance / total time
Total time = 0.3x/20+0.6x/40+0.1x/10 => 0.6x+0.6x+0.4x =
1.6x/40
Average speed = x/(1.6x/40) = 40/1.6 = 400/16 = 25 km/hr.
Hence ‘a’
Explanation
Total time = 0.3x/20 + 0.6x/40 + 0.1x/10
Taking the LCM of 10,20 and 40 (LCM is 40), multiply the
denominators to get the denominator as 40.
First is 0.3x/20 => Denominator is 20 and has to be multiplied by 2.
Therefore numerator also has to be multiplied by 2. Therefore we get
0.3x * 2 = 0.6x
Similarly, 0.6x is multiplied by 1 as the denominator is already 40 and
0.1x is multiplied by 4 as denominator is 10.

From the above, we get 0.6x + 0.6x +0.4x = 1.6x/40

Q.No Answer Hints / Explanations


17 a Let the speed of the goods train be x
Distance covered by goods train in 6 hrs = 6x
6x/90-x = 4 -> x = 36 km/hr. Hence ‘a’
Page | 7
18 c Speed = Distance/Time
Let the length of the train be x
X+162/18 = x+120/15
5x+810=6x+720
X=90m and speed = 210/15=14m/s or 50.4 km/h. Hence ‘c’
Speed = 1020/15 = 68 m/s
Explanation
Step 2
(x+162)/18 = (x+120)/15
Simplifying the denominators on both sides (divide by 3), we get

(x+162)/6 = (x+120)/5
Cross multiplying, we get
5x +810 = 6x+720
19 b Distance to catch up =5km
Relative speed = 15km/hr (since they travel in the same direction)
Time = 1/3 = 20mts
Hence ‘b’
20 d Let the speed of the train be t
320+640/t – 320/t = 80
640 = 80t
T = 8. Hence ‘d’
Alternate method
Speed= distance/time
Let the speed be ‘x’
So, x= 320/y where y= time taken (1)
Also x= 960/y +80
( 320 metres is to cross the pole and 320+640 metres to cross the
platform)

320/y= 960/y+80
960y= 320y+(320x80)
y= 40 sec
Sub, x= 8 which is the speed in meters/sec
Hence the answer is ‘d”
