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.

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.

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 C

Explanation:

Speed while going = 40 km/hr
Speed while returning = 150% of 40 = 60 km/hr

Average speed =
$$\begin{aligned} \frac{2xy}{x+y} \\ = \frac{2*40*60}{40+60} = \frac{4800}{100} \\ = 48 Km/hr \end{aligned}$$

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

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

$$\begin{aligned} Speed = \left(80*\frac{5}{18}\right) m/sec \\ = \frac{200}{9} m/sec \\ = 22\frac{2}{9} m\sec \end{aligned}$$
