6) Answer: C Distance=Speed * time

Distance between Madurai and Kanyakumari = 1250 Usual time=160/40=4 hours
– 500 = 750 After 2 hours, the distance covered by the car=2/5 *
750/3x + 500/2x = 20 160=64 km
250 + 250 = 20x Remaining distance=160 – 64=96 km
x = 25 Thus, 96/(40 + x)=2
Speed of bus = 3 * 25 = 75 kmph 96=80 + 2x
7) Answer: A 2x=16
A + B + C = 40 * 3 = 120 x=8 kmph
A – B = 12 13) Answer: C
A + C = 42 * 2 = 84 Distance = D
B = 120 – 84 = 36 Original speed = x
A = 36 + 12 = 48 Distance= speed * time
C = 84 – 48 = 36 D = (x – 8) * 3
8) Answer: B D =3x – 24
Pooja/Esai = 200/180 D =(x + 8) * 2
Esai/Kavin = 200/170 D =2x + 16
Ratio of Pooja, Esai and Kavin = 200:180:153 3x – 24 =2x + 16
When Pooja runs 200 meters, then C runs 153 x=40 kmph
meters D=3 * 40 – 24
Required distance = 200 – 153 = 47 meters D=96 km
9) Answer: C 14) Answer: C
180/5x + 180/4x = 8.1 Let the speeds of Jagan and Josh be 3k km/hr and
36/x + 45/x = 8.1 4k km/hr
81 = 8.1x Relative speed = 3k + 4k = 7k km/hr
x = 10 So, 7k * (3/60) = 4.2
Speed of car = 10 * 4 = 40 kmph => k = 12
10) Answer: B Difference between their speeds = 4k - 3k = 12 km/hr
Ratio of the speed of car A and B = 125:100 = 5:4 15) Answer: A
(x + 40)/4 * 8 – x/5 * 8 = 2 Let Distance travelled by Ghaziabad-Meerut EMU =
5x + 200 – 4x = 160 * 2 x
x = 120 km Distance travelled by Meerut-Ghaziabad EMU =
11) Answer: B x+60
Distance=speed * time Hence time = distance/speed
Distance=(20 * 25 * 15/60)/5 x/16 = (x + 60)/21
=25 km 21x = 16x + 960
12) Answer: B x =192

9
Total distance = 2x + 60 Speed of bike = 60 kmph

= 2 * 192 + 60 = 444 Distance covers by bus = 400 * 30/100 = 120 km
16) Answer: D Speed of bus = 120/3 = 40 kmph
Speed of the car is not given, so we cannot find the Speed of train = 5/4 * 40 = 50 kmph
answer. Distance covered by train = 30/100 * 400 = 120 km
17) Answer: C Time taken by train = 120/50 = 2.4 hours
Original speed=60 kmph 22) Answer: A
After increased the speed is=60 + (60 * 1/4)=75 Speed of the car = 1020/17 = 60 Km/h
kmph Speed of the bus = 60 x 80/100 = 48 Km/h
Distance=speed * time Speed of the train = 48 + 32 = 80 Km/h
Distance=(20/60 * 60 * 75)/(75 – 60) Required ratio = 60 x 20: 25 x 80
=100 km = 1200: 2000
18) Answer: E = 3: 5
Time = 160 / 75 = 32/15 hrs 23) Answer: D
Speed reduced by 20% Time difference = (240 + 180)/60 = 420/60 = 7 hrs
New speed = (80/100) * 75= 60 kmph 90% of speed = 20 * 90/100 = 18 kmph
Now time taken = 160/60 = 8/3 Distance = [(18 * 25)/7] * 7 = 450 km
Required percentage = {(8/3 – 32/15)/(32/15)}*100 = 24) Answer: A
25% Let the distance travelled on foot be x km and the
19) Answer: B distance travelled on bicycle be (30 – x) km.
Time taken by cover 40% of the distance = (480 * x/3 + (30 – x)/6 = 9
40/100) / 24 => 2x + 30 – x = 9 * 6
= 8 hours => x = 24km.
Time taken by cover 60% of the distance = (480 * 25) Answer: D
60/100) / 72 Due to stoppages, the bus travels 18kms in an hour.
= 4 hours (6 km less compared to 24kmph).
Average speed = 480 / (8 + 4) = 40 kmph To cover a distance of 6 km at a speed of 24 kmph,
20) Answer: B time taken = 6/24 = ¼ hours
Distance = speed * time = ¼ * 60 = 15 mins
Distance = 80 * 6 = 480 km 26) Answer: B
480 / (80 * (100 + x)/100) = 6 – 1 Relative speed of train with respect to first person =
480 = 4 * (100 + x) 200/10 = 20 * 18/5
480 = 400 + 4x = 72 kmph
80 = 4x Speed of train = 72 – 8 = 64 kmph
x = 20 Relative speed of train with respect to second person
21) Answer: A = 200/8 = 25 * 18/5
Distance between Chennai and Bangalore = 400 km = 90 kmph

10
Speed of second person = 90 – 64 = 26 kmph

27) Answer: C
Required ratio = 8/4: 6/3: 5/2
= 4: 4: 5
28) Answer: C
Total distance = x km
Time taken at 30kmph = x/30 hours and Time taken
at 20kmph = x/20 hours
He rested for = x/20 – x/30 = x/60 hours
Per hour = x/60 ÷ x/20 = 20 minutes
29) Answer: C
32) Answer: B
Let the original speed of the Aircraft = 100a kmph
Distance covered by Suraj in 3 hours = 3 × 20 = 60
So, increased speed of aircraft = 100a x 1.2 = 120a
km
kmph
According to question,
Therefore Remaining distance = 210 – 60 = 150 km
Relative speed = 20 + 30 = 50 kmph
Now, Suraj covers the total distance in (3 + 3)= 6

hours
a = 14.4
original speed of aircraft =14.4 x 100 = 1440 kmph Hence Distance covered by Suraj in 6 hours = 20 ×
Increased speed of aircraft = 1440 x 1.2 = 1728 6 = 120 km
Let the aircraft travels ‘D’ with its increased speed
Therefore Distance between P and A = 120 km.

34) Answer: A Difference in the times = 15 -5 = 10 hours
Let assume, Speed of car B = 100x 37) Answer: B
Speed of car A = 100x * 150/100 = 150x Distance between thief and policemen = 250m
Speed of car A = 780/13 = 60 kmph Both starts running and the thief caught by the
Speed of car B = 60 * 100x/150 = 40 kmph policemen,if speed of the policemen is more than
Distance = (40 * 50 * 3/60)/10 = 10 km speed of the thief then only he can catch the thief.i.e
35) Answer: A relative speed (same direction) is difference of their
Speed of bus = 5x speeds
Speed of car = 4x
Speed of bike = 5/6 * 4x = 10x/3 Relative speed =
Stop of the bike = 6 * 20 = 120 minutes = 2 hours (4x-3x) = 20
Speed of bike = 320/10 – 2 = 40 kmph x=20 m/s
10x/3 = 40 Speed of the policemen =4x =80 m/s

12
Time taken to cover 700m = = 8.75 Seconds

38) Answer: A
32.5% = 32.5/100 = 13/40 = > (250+150+50) – 250 = 4x
Ratio of speed of Amina and Akbar = 40:27 = > 200 = 4x
Ratio of distance = 40 x 9: 27 x 8 = 5:3 = > x = 50 km/hr
Akbar travelled 24 km less than Amina 43) Answer: D
2 units = 24 km According to question,
1 unit = 12 km
Total distance travelled by both = (5 + 3) units x 12 =
96 km
39) Answer: D
2Y = 600+120
Average speed = total distance / total time taken
Y = 360
Required Time =
Total time taken = = 10s
= 7 hours
Average speed = = 6m/s 44) Answer: B
40) Answer: A Total time taken = 27+6 =33hours
d=s*t Let actual speed of the boat = 6x
d = s * 80/100 * (t + 30) Reduced speed of the boat = (100-16.67)% of 6x =5x
s * t = s * 4/5 * (t + 30)
5t = 4t + 120
t = 120 minutes
41) Answer: A
d/80 + d/(80 – 60) = 4.5
720x + 864x = 33(30x2 – 4x – 16)
5d/80 = 4.5
1584x = 990x2 – 132x – 528
d = 72 km
x=2
42) Answer: A
Therefore actual speed of the boat =6x =12km/hr
DISTANCE =SPEED * TIME
45) Answer: D
Let, his usual speed = x
Let actual speed =6x
A man covered first 3/5’th of his journey = 250 *
Change in speed =5x
60/100 =150
Due to this change a person reach his destination
60% of the remaining = 100*60/100 =60
after 10 minutes.
Remaining distance = 40
Ratio of actual time taken to increased time = 5:6
Difference of this ratio is 10 minutes,

13
Therefore actual time taken = 50 minutes Required sum = 252+245 = 497km

Distance covered = speed * time = 6x * 50 =300x 49) Answer: D
Time taken (twice the speed) = 300x/12x = 25 Time taken to cover 90 km = 90/60 = 1.5 hours
minutes Time taken to cover 240 km = 240/ 80 = 3 hours
46) Answer: B Time taken to cover rest distance = (480 – 240 – 90)
Let the time taken by Kabir to covered total distance = 150/75 = 2 hours
= a hours Halt time = 0.5 hours
Time taken by Tamanna to cover total distance = a + Total time = 5.30 am + (1.5 + 3 + 2 + 0.5) = 12.30 pm
4 hours 50) Answer: E
According to question Speed of bike = (84/3) =28km/hr
(a +4)/2 = a – 2 Ratio of speed of bus and bike is 7:4
a + 4 = 2a – 4 Speed of bus = (28/4) ×7 = 49km/hr
a=8 Speed of car = (49/7) ×6 = 42km/hr
Time taken by Tamanna to cover total distance = a + Total distance covered through Car = 6*42 =252km
4 = 12 hours Total distance covered through bus = 5*49 = 245km
Speed of Tamanna = 72/12 = 6 km/h Required sum = 252+245 = 497km
47) Answer: A
Let assume, distance covered by train C = 100x
Distance covered by train A = 100x * 160/100 = 160x
Distance covered by train B = 100x * 120/100 = 120x
Speed of train A = 2y
Speed of train C = 2y/2 = y
Speed of train B = y * 150/100 = 3y/2
Required ratio = 160x /2y:120x/(3y/2):100x /y
= 80:80:100
= 4:4:5
48) Answer: E
Speed of bike = (84/3) =28km/hr
Ratio of speed of bus and bike is 7:4
Speed of bus = (28/4) ×7 = 49km/hr
Speed of car = (49/7) ×6 = 42km/hr
Total distance covered through Car = 6*42 =252km
Total distance covered through bus = 5*49 = 245km
