Two trains of equal length, running with the speeds of 60 and 40 kmph, take 50 seconds to cross each other while they are running in the same direction. What time will they take to cross each other if they are running in opposite directions?

Answer: A

RS = 60 -40 = 20 * 5/18 = 100/18

T = 50

D = 50 * 100/18 = 2500/9

RS = 60 + 40 = 100 * 5/18

T = 2500/9 * 18/500 = 10 sec

A car started running at a speed of 30 km/hr and the speed of the car was increased by 2 km/hr at the end of every hour. Find the total distance covered by the car in the first 10 hours of the journey.

Answer: B

The total distance covered by the car in the first 10 hours = 30 + 32 + 34 + 36 + 38 + 40 + 42 + 44 + 46 + 48 = sum of 10 terms in AP whose first term is 30 and last term is 48 = 10/2 [30 + 48] = 390 km.

Speed of a man with current measures 15 km/hr. Speed of current is 2.5 km/hr. What is the speed of man against the current?

Answer: B

Let the speed of man in still water be x km/hr

Now, speed with current=15 km/hr

Speed of current: 2.5 km/hr

Speed of man with current: Speed of man in still water+Speed of current

=>15=x+2.5

=>x=12.5

Speed of man against the current: Speed of man in still water-Speed of current

=>12.5-2.5

=>10 km/hr

A person takes 20 minutes more to cover a certain distance by decreasing his speed by 20%. What is the time taken to cover the distance at his original speed?

Answer: C

Let the distance and original speed be d km and k kmph respectively.

d/0.8k - d/k = 20/60 => 5d/4k - d/k = 1/3

=> (5d - 4d)/4k = 1/3 => d = 4/3 k

Time taken to cover the distance at original speed

= d/k = 4/3 hours = 1 hour 20 minutes.
