1.Answer: Option B
11.Answer And Explanation
Explanation:Speed = Answer: Option B
Converting m/sec to km/hr (see important formulas section) Explanation:Speed=(80∗518)m/sec=2009m/sec=2229msec
= 2 m/sec. =2 x( )km/hr = 7.2 km/hr.
12.Answer: Option D
Explanation:Speed=DistanceTime=20024m/sec=253m/sec253∗
2.Answer: Option D
185km/hr=30km/hr
Explanation:Distance = (240 x 5) = 1200 km.
Speed = 1200/(5/3) km/hr. [We can write 1 ,2/3 hours as
13.Answer And Explanation
5/3 hours]
Answer: Option B
Speed = Distance/Time
Explanation:Two things to give attention on this question.
 Required speed =(1200 x )km/hr= 720 km/hr. First time is in minutes, we need to change it to seconds to get
speed in m/sec, then we need to get
3.Answer: Option A the final answer in km/hr.
Then, = So let’s solve
Explanation:Let the actual distance travelled be x km. this.Speed=DistanceTimeDistance=650meterTime=5
14x = 10x + 200 minutes=300secSpeed=600300=2m/sec=>2∗185km/hr=7.2km/
4x = 200 hr
x = 50 km.
14.Answer And Explanation
4.Answer: Option B Answer: Option D
Explanation:Due to stoppages, it covers 9 km less. Explanation:We need to get the answer in meters. So we will
Time taken to cover 9 km =( first of change distance from km/hour to
meter/sec by multiplying it with 5/18 and also change 15
minutes to seconds by multiplying it with 60.
5.Answer: Option B
Distance=Time∗SpeedDistance=2518∗900=1250meter
Explanation: Speed=5∗518=2518m/secTime=15∗60seconds=900seconds

15.Answer: Option B
x =( )= 224 km. Explanation:We are having time and speed given, so first we
15x = 168 x 20 will calculate the distance. Then we can
Lets solve it.
6.Answer: Option D get new speed for given time and distance.
Explanation:Let the speed of two trains be 7x and 8x km/hr. Time = 50/60 hr = 5/6 hr
Then,8x=( Speed = 48 mph
Distance = S*T = 48 * 5/6 = 40 km
x=(
New time will be 40 minutes so,
Speed of first train = (7 x 12.5) km/hr = 87.5 km/hr. Time = 40/60 hr = 2/3 hr
Now we know,
7.Answer: Option C Speed = Distance/Time
Explanation:Total time taken=( hrs= hrs New speed = 40*3/2 kmph = 60kmph
Average speed=(320x2)km/hr=71.11km /hr.
16.Answer: Option C
8.Answer: Option D Explanation: In this type of questions we need to get the
Explanation:Let distance = x km and usual rate = y kmph. relative speed between them,
Then,  The relative speed of the boys = 5.5kmph – 5kmph
= 0.5 kmph
And  Distance between them is 8.5 km
On dividing (i) by (ii), we get: x = 40. Time = Distance/Speed
9.Answer: Option A Time= 8.5km / 0.5 kmph = 17 hrs
Explanation:We know that, Time=DistanceSpeedSpeed=20
km/hr=20∗518m/sec=509m/sec Time 17.Answer: Option B
=(400∗950)=72sec=115min Explanation:Due to stoppages, it covers 9 km less.
Time taken to cover 9 km = (9/54) hour
10.Answer: Option C = (1/6)*60 minutes
sec=150secSpeed=750150=5m/sec=>5∗185km/hr=18km/hr = 10 minutes

18.Answer: Option A Average speed = 2xyx+y=2∗40∗6040+60=4800100=48Km/hr
Explanation:We know total distance is 200 Km
If both trains crossed each other at a distance of 110 km then 25.Answer: Option B
one train covered 110 km and other 90 Explanation:Suppose they meet x hrs after 8 a.m.
km [110+90=200km] then(Distance moved by first in x hrs) + [Distance moved by
So ratio of their speed = 110:90 = 11:9 second in (x-1) hrs]
= 330
19.Answer: Option C So, 60x+75(x-1) = 330
Explanation:Let time taken to travel the first half = x hr x=3.
Then time taken to travel the second half = (10 - x) hr So,they meet at (8+3). i.e 11a.m.
Distance covered in the the first half = 21x [because, distance =
time*speed] 26.Answer: Option D
Distance covered in the the second half = 24(10 - x) Explanation:Number of gaps between 41 poles = 40
Distance covered in the the first half = Distance covered in the So total distance between 41 poles = 40*50
the second half = 2000 meter = 2 km
21x = 24(10 - x) In 1 minute train is moving 2 km/minute.
=> 45x = 240 Speed in hour = 2*60 = 120 km/hour
So,
=> x = 16/3 27.Answer: Option B
Total Distance = 2*21(16/3) = 224 Km [multiplied by 2 as 21x Explanation:Time taken to cover 600 km = 6 hours [because
was distance of half way] train speed is 100 km/hr]
Number of stops = begin{aligned}
20.Answer: Option A frac{600}{75} - 1 = 7 \
Explanation:Let the time in which he travelled on foot = x hour text{Total time on stops =}7*3 = 21 mins
Time for travelling on bicycle = (9 - x) hr end{aligned}Total time taken by train = 6 hours 21 mins
Distance = Speed * Time, and Total distance = 61 km
So,
4x + 9(9-x) = 61 28.Answer: Option A
=> 5x = 20 Explanation:Let the distance be 3x km,
=> x = 4 then,x3+x4+x5=476047x60=4760x=1
So distance traveled on foot = 4(4) = 16 km So total distance = 3*1 = 3 Km

21.Answer: Option D 29.Answer: Option C

Explanation:Let the duration of the flight be x hours. Explanation:Relative speed between two = 6-1 = 5 round per
Then600x−600x+12=200600x−12002x+1=200x(2x+1)=32x2+x− hour
3=0=>(2x+3)(x−1)=0 They will cross when one round will complete with relative
Neglecting the negative value for x we get x = 1 speed,
which is 1/5 hour = 12 mins.
22.Answer: Option B So 7:30 + 12 mins = 7:42
Explanation:We know Time = Distance/speed
So total time taken =(16064+16080)=92hours Time taken for 30.Answer: Option B
320 Km = 320∗29=71.11km/hr Explanation:Relative speed of the thief and policeman = (11 –
10) km/hr = 1 km/hr
23.Answer: Option D Distance covered in 6 minutes = 160∗6=110=100meters
Explanation:We need to calculate the distance, then we can So distance between them after 6 minutes = 200 - 100
calculate the time and finally our answer. = 100 meters
Lets solve this,
Let the distance travelled by x km
Time = Distance/Speed
hours]3x−2x=60x=60.Time=DistanceSpeedTime@10km/hr=601
0=6hours
x10−x15=2[because, 2 pm - 12 noon = 2
So 2 P.M. - 6 = 8 A.M
Robert starts at 8 A.M.
He have to reach at 1 P.M. i.e, in 5 hours
So, Speed = 60/5 = 12 km/hr

24.Answer: Option C
Explanation: Speed while going = 40 km/hr
Speed while returning = 150% of 40 = 60 km/hr
