Question Detail

An athlete runs 200 meters in 24 seconds. His speed is ?

10 km/hr
17 k/hr
27 km/hr
30 km/hr

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
Speed = \frac{Distance}{Time} \\
= \frac{200}{24}m/sec = \frac{25}{3} m/sec \\
\frac{25}{3}*\frac{18}{5} km/hr = 30 km/hr
\end{aligned}

1. A walks around a circular field at the rate of one round per hour while B runs around it at the rate of six rounds per hour. They start at same point at 7:30 am. They shall first cross each other at ?

7:15 am
7:30 am
7: 42 am
7:50 am

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

2. The distance between two cities A and B is 330 Km. A train starts from A at 8 a.m. and travel towards B at 60 km/hr. Another train starts from B at 9 a.m and travels towards A at 75 Km/hr. At what time do they meet?

10 am
11 am
12 pm
1 pm

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Suppose they meet x hrs after 8 a.m.
then
(Distance moved by first in x hrs) + [Distance moved by second in (x-1) hrs]
= 330
So, 60x+75(x-1) = 330

x=3.

So,they meet at (8+3). i.e 11a.m.

3. 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

4. An athlete runs 200 meters in 24 seconds. His speed is ?

10 km/hr
17 k/hr
27 km/hr
30 km/hr

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
Speed = \frac{Distance}{Time} \\
= \frac{200}{24}m/sec = \frac{25}{3} m/sec \\
\frac{25}{3}*\frac{18}{5} km/hr = 30 km/hr
\end{aligned}

5. A person travels equal distances with speed of 3 km/hr, 4 km/hr and 5 km/hr and takes a total of 47 minutes. Find the total distane

3 km
4 km
6 km
9 km

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Let the distance be 3x km,
then,
\begin{aligned}
\frac{x}{3} +\frac{x}{4} +\frac{x}{5} = \frac{47}{60} \\
\frac{47x}{60} =\frac{47}{60} \\
x = 1
\end{aligned}
So total distance = 3*1 = 3 Km
