Question Detail
A train covers a distance in 50 minutes, if it runs at a speed of 48kmph on an average. Find the speed at which the train must run to reduce the time of journey to 40 minutes.
- 50 km/hr
- 60 km/hr
- 65 km/hr
- 70 km/hr
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
We are having time and speed given, so first we will calculate the distance. Then we can get new speed for given time and distance.
Lets solve it.
Time = 50/60 hr = 5/6 hr
Speed = 48 mph
Distance = S*T = 48 * 5/6 = 40 km
New time will be 40 minutes so,
Time = 40/60 hr = 2/3 hr
Now we know,
Speed = Distance/Time
New speed = 40*3/2 kmph = 60kmph
1. Robert is travelling on his cycle and has calculated to reach point A at 2 P.M. if he travels at 10 kmph, he will reach there at 12 noon if he travels at 15 kmph. At what speed must he travel to reach A at 1 P.M.?
- 9 km/hour
- 10 km/hour
- 11 km/hour
- 12 km/hour
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
We need to calculate the distance, then we can calculate the time and finally our answer.
Lets solve this,
Let the distance travelled by x km
Time = Distance/Speed
\begin{aligned}
\frac{x}{10} - \frac{x}{15} = 2 \\
\text{[because, 2 pm - 12 noon = 2 hours]} \\
3x - 2x = 60 \\
x = 60.
Time = \frac{Distance}{Speed} \\
Time @ 10km/hr = \frac{60}{10} = 6 hours
\end{aligned}
So 2 P.M. - 6 = 8 A.M
Robert starts at 8 A.M.
He have to reach at 1 P.M. i.e, in 5 hours
So, Speed = 60/5 = 12 km/hr
2. A Man travelled a distance of 61 km in 9 hours. He travelled partly on foot at 4 km/hr and partly on bicycle at 9 km/hr. What is the distance travelled on foot?
- 16 km
- 14 km
- 12 km
- 10 km
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
Let the time in which he travelled on foot = x hour
Time for travelling on bicycle = (9 - x) hr
Distance = Speed * Time, and Total distance = 61 km
So,
4x + 9(9-x) = 61
=> 5x = 20
=> x = 4
So distance traveled on foot = 4(4) = 16 km
3. Excluding stoppages, the speed of a bus is 54 kmph and including stoppages, it is 45 kmph. For how many minutes does the bus stop per hour ?
- 8 minutes
- 10 mintues
- 12 minutes
- 14 minutes
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Due to stoppages, it covers 9 km less.
Time taken to cover 9 km = (9/54) hour
= (1/6)*60 minutes
= 10 minutes
4. Ram and Sham are running a race, Ram runs 25% faster than Sham and is able to allow Sham a lead of 7 meters to end a race in dead heat. Find the distance of the race.
- 32 meters
- 35 meters
- 39 meters
- 40.5 meters
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Important to Note first - Dead Head means - run or finish a race at exactly level or at same time.
From question it is clear that Ram runs faster than Sham by 25%,
So if Sham runs 100 meter in a given time then Ram will run 125 meter in that time.
So if Sham runs 4 meter then Ram will run 5 meter in given time (divide both by 25)
=> Ram can give Sham a lead of 1 meter in 5 meter race to finish race in dead heat.
Ratio of length of start given : length of race :: 1 : 5
As per question, start was given of 7 meter, So,
Length of race was 7 * 5 = 35.
5. A man is walking at the rate of 5 km/hr crosses a bridge in 15 minutes. The length of the bridge is
- 1000 meters
- 1050 meters
- 1200 meters
- 1250 meters
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
We need to get the answer in meters. So we will first of change distance from km/hour to meter/sec by multiplying it with 5/18 and also change 15 minutes to seconds by multiplying it with 60.
\begin{aligned}
Speed = 5* \frac{5}{18} = \frac{25}{18}m/sec \\
Time = 15*60 seconds = 900 seconds \\
Distance = Time * Speed \\
Distance = \frac{25}{18}*900 = 1250 meter
\end{aligned}
