A train traveled at an average speed of 100 km/hr, stopping for 3 minutes after every 75 km. How long did it take to reach its destination 600 km from the starting point.

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.

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}

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Let the speeds of two trains be 7X and 8X km/hr.

\begin{aligned}
8X = \frac{400}{4} \\
=> X = 12.5 Km/hr

\end{aligned}
So speed of first train is 12.5*7 = 87.5 km/hr

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Relative speed between two = 6-1 = 5 round per hour

They will cross when one round will complete with relative speed,
which is 1/5 hour = 12 mins.

So 7:30 + 12 mins = 7:42

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Time taken to cover 600 km = 6 hours [because train speed is 100 km/hr]

Number of stops =
begin{aligned}
frac{600}{75} - 1 = 7 \
text{Total time on stops =}7*3 = 21 mins

end{aligned}
Total time taken by train = 6 hours 21 mins
