  • Two trains, 190 m and 170 m long are going in the same direction. The faster train takes one minute to pass the other completely. If they are moving in opposite directions, they pass each other completely in 3 seconds. Find the speed of each train.
    A) 55 m/sec. and  42 m/sec.
    B) 63 m/sec. and 57 m/sec.
    C) 60 m/sec. and 55 m/sec.
    D) 42 m/sec. and 40 m/sec.
    E) 44 m/sec. and 40 m/sec.

    View Answer
      Option  B
    Solution:
    let the speed of the faster train be x and the speed of the slower train be y . Then, When they move in the same direction , the relative speed = (x – y)
    Total distance = 190 + 170  = 360 m
    Now, dist. = speed * time = 360 = (x-y)*60
    => (x – y) = 6———-(1)
    When the trains move in opposite direction = (x+y)
    360= (x + y)*3
    => 120 =(x + y) ———–(2)
    On solving (1) and (2), we get
    x = 63 m/sec. and y = 57 m/sec.
  • A motorcyclist covered (2/3)rd of a total journey at his usual speed. He covered the remaining distance at (3/4)th of his usual speed. As a result, he arrived 30 minutes later than the time he would have taken at usual speed. If the total journey was 180 km. What was his usual speed?
    A) 30 km/hr.
    B) 20km/hr.
    C) 50 km/hr.
    D) 40 km/hr.
    E) 60 km/hr.

    View Answer
      Option  D
    Solution:
    Let the usual speed be x km/hr.
    (1/3)rd of the journey = 180/3 = 60km
    Therefore, 60 / (3x/4) – 60/x = (1/2)
    => x = 40 km/hr.

    D) 1.5 km/hr
    E) 2.5 km/hr

    View Answer
      Option  A
    Solution:
      x  +  y = (5 * 60)/10 = 30 ——–(1)
    and  x   –   y =   (5 * 60)/12  = 25 ———(2)From (1) and (2) , we get
    x + y – x + y = 30 – 25 = 5
    => y = 2.5 km/hr.

    After moving 10km more, man saves 10minutes. For saving of 40minutes he has to cover 40km.
    Now speed:   after accident            before accident
    .                             3                                5
    Time                      5                                3
    .                                            (+2)
    2=40minutes
    1=20min
    (Normal time) 3= 60min
    So he covers 40km in 60min with normal speed = 40kmph

  • A boat covers 12km upstream and 18km downstream in 3hrs. while it covers 36km up stream and 24km downstream in 6(1/2) hrs. find velocity of the stream?
    A) 1.5kmph
    B) 1kmph
    C) 2kmph
    D) 2.5kmph

    View Answer
    Option C
    Solution: 
    12/y + 18/x =3…………..(1)
    36/y + 24/x = 13/2……………(2)
    By solving above equation we will get
    X=12kmph, y = 8kmph
    Speed of stream = (12-8)/2 = 2kmph
  • Two person A & B with speed of 30kmph and 40kmph comes towards each other. When they meet it is find that faster one cover 30km more than slower one, find the distance cover by train?
