SOLUTIONS
S1. Ans.(b)
Sol. Time =Distance/Speed
∴ Time =4/(5/45)=4/225 hrs
Time (sec.) =4/225×3600 = 64 sec
S2. Ans.(d)
Sol. Distance = Constant
So, speed α 1/Time
Ratio of time =5∶5/3
Ratio of time = 3 : 1
Ratioof speed = 1 : 3
1 unit → 240 km/hr
3 units →240 × 3 = 720 km/hr
So, i.e. Required speed = 720 km/hr
S3. Ans.(c)
Sol.Speed = 30 km/hr=30×5/18 m/sec
=25/3 m/sec
So, Time =D/S=100/(25/3)=12 sec
S4. Ans.(c)
Sol. Time taken at 5 km/hr=20/5
= 4 hrs
Actual time =(4-2/3)=10/3 hrs
Time taken at 8 km/hr =20/8
=5/2 hrs
Time difference =10/3-5/2=5/6 hrs
= 50 min. required time
S5. Ans.(d)
Sol. 15 min =1/4 hrs
1 hrs = 5 kms
1/4 hrs. =5/4 kms
So, length of bridge =5/4 kms. = 1250 mt.
S6. Ans.(b)
Sol. S=D/T=250/75 m/sec =250/75×18/5
= 12 km/hr
S8. Ans.(d)
Sol. Distance travelled in 14 sec. = 50 + l
Distance travelled in 10 sec = l
So, speed of train
=50/(14-10) m/sec
=50/4×18/5km/hr = 45 km/hr
S9. Ans.(d)
Sol. Speed =D/T=200/24 m/sec
=200/24×18/5km/hr
= 30 km/hr
S10. Ans.(d)
Sol. Speed = 10 m/sec =10×18/5km/hr
= 36 km/hr
S11. Ans.(b)
Sol. Speed of =150/25 m/sec =6×18/5km/hr
= 21.6 km/hr
S12. Ans.(c)
Sol. Distance covered in 100 sec = 800 + l
Distance covered in 60 sec = 400 + l
So, Distance covered in 40 sec
= (800 + l) – (400 + l) = 400 mtr.
Speed → 400/40 m/sec. = 10 m/s
Distance covered in 60 sec = 10 × 60 = 600 meter
So, 400 + l = 600
⇒ l = 200 meter
S13. Ans.(b)
Sol. Speed =D/T=125/30 m/sec
=125/30×18/5km/hr
= 15 km/hr
S14. Ans.(a)
Sol. Speed =120/10 m/sec = 12 m/sec
S15. Ans.(c)
Sol. T=D/S=(75 × 18)/(20 ×5 )=27/2 sec
= 13.5 sec
