Page Title 1. A man crosses a road 600 meters long in 5 minutes. What is his speed in kmph?
7.5 km/hr
8.5 km/hr
7.2 km/hr
10 km/hr.
Answer: option C

speed = (600/ 5 x 60) m/s. = 2 m/sec.

∵ apply the formula for converting m/sec. to km/h.

X m/sec = (X x 18/5) km/hr.

= (2 x 18/5) km/hr.

= 7.2 km/hr.



2. Excluding stoppages, the speed of a public transport bus is 54 kmph and including stoppages, it is 45 kmph. For how many minutes does the bus stop per hour?
15 min.
10 min.
12 min.
18 min.
Answer: option B

Due to stoppages, a bus covers 9 km less.

∵ so, Time taken to cover 9 km = (9/54 x 60) min.

= 10 min.



3. A laborer covered a distance of 61 km in 9 hours. He traveled partly on foot @ 4 km/h and partly on cycle @ 9 km/h. The distance covered on foot is:
18 km
20 km
16 km
12 km
Answer: option C

Let the distance travelled on foot be X km.

Then, distance travelled on bicycle = (61 - X) km.

∵ so, X/4 + (61 - X/9) = 9

⟹ 9X + 4(61 -X) = 9 x 36

⟹ 5X = 80

⟹ X = 16 km.



4. Nitin takes 2 hours more than Dinesh to cover a distance of 30 km. If Nitin doubles his speed, he will take 1 hour less than Dinesh. The speed of Nitin is:
3 kmph
10 kmph
7 kmph
5 kmph
Answer: option D

Let Nitin's speed be x km/hr.

∵ Then, (30/X - 30/2X) = 3

⟹ 6X = 30

⟹ X = 5 km/hr.



5. A journey of 600 km takes eight hours, if 120 km is done by train and the rest by car. If 200 km is covered by train and rest by car, it takes 20 minutes more. The ratio of the speed of the train to the speed of the cars is:
4 : 3
3 : 4
4 : 4
3 : 3
Answer: option B

Let the speed of the train be X km/hr and that of the car be Y km/hr.

∵ Then, (120/X + 480/Y) = 8

⟹ 1/X + 4/Y = 1/15 ...(ⅰ)

and, (200/X + 400/Y) = 25/3

⟹ 1/X + 2/Y = 1/24 ...(ⅱ)

Solving (i) and (ii), we get: X = 60 and Y = 80.

∵ Ratio of speeds = 60 : 80 = 3 : 4.
