Question 01

Total Distance travelled is given (2 miles)

We need to find out first, total time it took to travel the entire distance.
Then, the average speed would be, v = d/t

যাবার সময়,
4 মাইল যেতে সময় লাগে 1 hour
So, 1 মাইল যেতে সময় লাগবে 1/4 hour

আবার,

ফিরে আসার সময়,

5 মাইল যেতে সময় লাগে 1 hour
So, 1 মাইল যেতে সময় লাগবে 1/5 hour

So, Total time,

(1/4) + (1/5) = 9/20

Now, v = d/t

d = 2 miles
t = 9/20 hour

v = 2 / (9/20) = 40/9 (Option C is correct)

Question 02

One-third of the 90-mile trip is 30 miles

Time it takes to travel that distance is:

(1/2) * 2 = 1 hour

Average Rate (v) = d/t = 30/1 = 30 mph (Option B is correct)

Question 03

Distance from School to home:

d = v * t = 4 mph * 1 hour = 4 miles

At new speed of 5 mph, it will take less time to reach home

t = d/v = 4/5 hour = (4/5) * 60 minutes = 48 minutes (Option B is correct)
Question 04

We know,

Average Speed = Total Distance/Total Time

Average Speed = 80 mph (given)

Total Distance Covered (d) = v * t

= (100 mph * 8 hours) * 2
= 1600 miles

Total Time taken = 8 hours + x hours (return trip এ কতটু কু সময় লেগেছে তা জানি না)

So,

80 = 1600/(8+x)

Solving for x, we get x = 12

Option D is correct

Question 05

d=v*t

Johny walked at a speed of 2 mph (v = 2)

Distance covered on foot = 10 miles

So, t (time taken on foot) = d/v = 10/2 = 5 hours

Then, he returned on a bicycle.

Speed of bicycle (v) = 5 mph

Distance covered on bicycle = 10 miles

So, t (time taken on bicycle) = d/v = 10/5 = 2 hours

Total time taken on the entire trip is (5+2) = 7 hours

Option E is correct.
 Question 06

We know,

Average Speed = Total Distance/Total Time

d=v*t
= 50 mph * 6 hours
= 300 miles

Total Distance covered = (300 + 300) miles

= 600 miles

Total Time = 6 + 9 = 15 hours

Average Speed = 600/15 = 40 mph

Option B is correct

Question 07

Important Formula
Boat’s Speed (Still Water) = ½ (Downstream Speed + Upstream Speed)

Speed downstream = 11 km/hr

Speed upstream = 5 km/hr
Thus speed of boat in still water = (1/2) * (11+5) km/hr
= 8 km/hr

Option C is correct
 Question 08

Speed Downstream (v)

= (13 + 4) km/hr
= 17 km/hr

Time taken to travel 68 km downstream,

t = d/v
= 68/17
= 4 hours

Option C is correct

Question 09

Speed Downstream (v)

10 minutes এ যেতে পারে 1 km

So. 60 minutes এ যেতে পারবে 6 km

v = 6 km/h

Speed Upstream (v) = 2 km/h

Boat’s Speed (Still Water) = ½ (Downstream Speed + Upstream Speed)

= ½ (6+2) km/h
= 4 km/h

Required Time (t)

= d/v
= 5/4 hours
= 1 hr 15 min

Option C is correct
 Question 10

Distance covered while traveling downstream = 120 km

Now, when the boat is traveling downstream, the speeds get added. So, speed downstream =
24 km/h
Now, when the boat is traveling upstream, the speeds get subtracted. So, speed upstream = 16
km/hr

Time taken in downstream = 120/24

= 5 hours

Now, we need to find the distance traveled upstream in 5 hours.

Distance = time × speed upstream= 16 × 5 = 80 km

Option C is correct

Question 11

Let Length of Train = L

Case-1: Distance = 400 + L (While crossing the bridge)

Time = 60 Seconds
i.e. Speed = Distance / Time = (400+L)/60

Case-2: Distance = L (While passing the lamp post)

Time = 10 Seconds
i.e. Speed = Distance / Time = (L)/10

But Since speed has to be same in both cases, so

(400+L)/60 = (L)/10

Solving for L, we get L = 80 meters

Option C is correct
 Question 12

This question tests you on relative speed.

Train A leaves Saqib’s house traveling at 50 miles/hr.

So it covers 50 * 2 = 100 miles in 2 hours.

After 2 hours, train B leaves from Saqib’s house.

When train B leaves from Saqib’s house, distance between train A and train B is 100 miles since
train A has already traveled 100 miles.

Now train B needs to cover up this distance between them by traveling faster than train A.
In one hour, train B covers 50 miles more than train A (because train B's speed is 50 miles/hr
more than train A's speed).
So train B will cover the extra 100 miles in 2 hours.
Train A had traveled for 2 + 2 = 4 hrs before it was overtaken by train B. Hence, it had covered a
distance of 4 * 50 = 200 miles.

Option C is correct

Question 13

Insufficient Data
Cannot be determined

Question 14

Speed of the Train = 72 km/hr. = 72 × 5/18 [Changing into m/s] = 20 m/s.

Time taken to cross the Platform = 30 seconds.

Time taken to cross the man = 18 seconds.
∵ Speed of the Train = Length of the train/Time to cross the man

∴ Length of the Train = Speed of the Train × Time to cross the Man. = 20 × 18 = 360 meters

Sum of the Length of Platform and train = Speed of the Train × Time taken by the Train to cross
the Platform. = 20 × 30 = 600 meters

∵ Length of the Train + Length of the Platform = 600

∴ 360 + Length of the Platform = 600
∴ Length of the Platform = 600 - 360
= 240 meters

∴ Length of the Platform is 240 meters (Option A is correct)

 Question 15

Here, a train of 100m is crossing another train of 120m

So, the sum of lengths of the trains is the distance the second train travels.

100 + 120m ⇒ 220m ⇒ 0.22 km

Now let the speed of the second train be x km/h

Since they are in opposite directions.

So relative speed = (x + 50) km/h
Time = 6 seconds = 6/3600 seconds = 1/600 hours

Distance = speed × time

0.22 = (x+50) × 1/600

Solving for x, we get x = 82

The speed of second train is 82km/hr
Option B is correct.

Question 16

10 Minutes = 1/6 hours

d=v*t
= (10 mph + 8 mph) * (1/6)
= 3 miles

Question 17

t = d/v

Total time spent on journey = (10/30) + (10/40) + (10/50)

= 20 minutes + 15 minutes + 12 minutes
= 47 minutes

Motorist spent 12 minutes at 50 miles/hr speed.

The answer is 12/47

Option E is correct
 Question 18

d=v*t

Distance = 400 miles

Let, h is the hour by which two trains will meet

Distance covered by first train = 50 * h = 50h

Distance covered by second train = 30 * h = 30h

According to the question,

50h + 30h = 400

Or, 80h = 400
Or, h = 5 hours

Option C is correct

Question 19

Distance covered by B in 25 sec = 200 meters

Distance covered by B in 22 sec
=(200/25) * 22 meters
= 176 meters

∴ B was at a distance of (200 - 176) meters = 24 meters from the finishing line.
Option B is correct

Question 20

Let the distance between station A and station B is x km.

Given Train M starting from A will take 7 hours to cover x km

and Train T starting from B takes 4.5 hours to cover the x km.

Speed of Train M is x/7 kmph

Speed of Train T is x/4.5 or x/(9/2) kmph or 2x/9 kmph

In 1.5 hours, the distance travelled by Train M is 1.5x/7

Remaining Distance is 5.5x/7 (total distance x থেকে বাদ দিয়ে)
Now, let they start at 5:30 AM and they will meet after t hours with each other

Solving for t, we get t = 2.15

60 minute এর ১৫ অংশ = ৯ মিনিট

So, 5:30 + 2: 09 = 7:39 AM এ তারা নিজেদেরকে ক্রস করবে

Option E is correct
