Answers :

1) Answer: C

At the time when Vijay starts, Sanjay travelled 45 * 3 = 135 km

Remaining distance, 535 – 135 = 400 km

400 = (35 + 45) * t

t = 5

Distance between meeting point and Chennai = 45 * (5+3) = 360 km


2) Answer: D

Ratio of speed = 12:9:10

Let the speeds be 12x, 9x and 10x

Distance covered by car = 12x*2 + 9x*4 + 10x*3

= 24x+36x+30x = 90x

Total time = 2+4+3 = 9hrs

Average speed = 50 km/hr

Total distance/Total time = 50

90x/9 = 50

x = 5

Distance between the tolls = 36x = 180km


3) Answer: B

Speed of bike A = 45 kmph

Distance covered by bike A = 45 * 6 = 270 km

Speed of bike B = (270 + 50)/8 = 320/8 = 40 kmph

New speed of bike A = (45 – 5) kmph = 40 kmph

New speed of bike B = (40 + 10) kmph = 50 kmph

Time taken by bike A to cover 200km = 200/40 = 5 hours

Time taken by bike B to cover 200km = 200/50 = 4 hours

Required difference in time = (5 – 4) hours = 1 hour


4) Answer: A

Let Usual speed = x

600/(x +10)+600/ (x -10)=25

24(x – 10) + 24(x + 10) = (x2 – 100)

24x – 240 + 24x + 240 = x2 – 100

x2 – 48x – 100 = 0

x2 – 50x + 2x – 100 = 0

x(x – 50) + 2(x – 50) = 0

(x + 2)(x – 50) = 0

x = -2, 50(negative value neglected)


5) Answer: C

Speed of bus = x

Speed of bike = y

Distance = d

Time taken by bike = t

Time taken by bus to cover 90% of the distance = 7t/10

x = (90/100 * d) / (7t/10)

= 9d/7t

y = d/t

x: y = 9d/7t: d/t

= 9: 7

Speed of bus = 9/16 * 160 = 90 kmph

Speed of bike = 7/16 * 160 = 70 kmph

Average speed = 2 * x * y/(x + y)

= 2 * 90 * 70/160 = 78.75 kmph


6) Answer: B

Let the speed be x km/hr

Total distance between school and Home = x * 1 hr = x km

75% of the original speed = x * 75/100 = 3x/4

Distance covered in 40 minutes with new speed = 3x/4 * 40/60

= 3x/4 * 2/3 = x/2

Distance between fruit shop and home = x – x/2 = x/2

Required percentage = (x/2)/x * 100

= ½ * 100 = 50%


7) Answer: C

Let d and t be the distance and desired time.

Given, (d/5) = t + (7/60)

d= 5t + (7/12)

(d/6) = t – (5/60)

d= 6t – (6/12)

5t + 7/12 = 6t – (6/12)

t = 13/12 hours = 65 minutes

Therefore desired time = 7.55 am + 65 minutes = 9 am


8) Answer: C

Usual speed of the bike = x

25% of the distance = 360 * 25/100 = 90 km

Time taken by travels 25% of the distance = 90/(60 * x/100) = 150/x

80% of the remaining distance = 270 * 80/100 = 216 km

Time taken by travels 216 km = 216/(80/100 * x) = 270/x

Remaining distance = 270 – 216 = 54 km

Time taken by remaining distance = 54/(90/100 * x) = 60/x

150/x + 270/x + 60/x = 8

x = 60 kmph


9) Answer: E

((x/2)/20 + (3x/4)/y) = x/20

x/40 + 3x/4y = x/20

3x/4y = x/40

y = 30


10) Answer: A

Let the initial speed of speed of car = 5x km/hr

And initial speed of bike = 8x km/hr

Increased speed of car = 5x*{(100+10)/100} = 5x*(110/100) = 5.5x

Decreased speed of bike = 8x*{(100-5)/100} = 8x*(95/100) = 7.6x

Distance covered by car in 5 hours = 5x*1 + 5.5x*4 = 5x + 22x = 27x

27x = 324

x = 12

Distance covered by bike in 4 hours = 8x*1 + 7.6x*3 = 30.8x = 30.8*12 = 369.6 km
