Relative speed = 35 – 25 = 10 kmph
= 10 × 5 m/sec. 18
Total length = 80 + 120 = 200 metres∴ Required time = Sum of the lengths of trains Relative speed = 200 10 × 5 18 = 200 × 18 = 72 seconds 10 × 5 Correct Option: D

Time taken by Kamal
= 100 = 20 seconds 18 × 5 18
∴ Time taken by Bimal
= 20 + 5 = 25 seconds∴ Bimal’s speed = 100 = 4 m/sec 25 = 4 × 18 kmph = 14.4 kmph. 5 Correct Option: C

Let the distance be x km
Time taken by A = x hrs. 40 Time taken by B = x hrs. 50 Now, x − x = 15 40 50 60 5x − 4x = 15 200 60 ∴ x = 15 × 200 = 50km 60
Second Method :Distance = Product of speed × Diff. in time Diff. of speed = 40 × 50 × 15 = 50km 50 − 40 60 Correct Option: C

Two ways walking time = 55 min ...(i)
One way walking + One way riding time = 37 min. ....(ii)
By 2 × (ii) – (i),
2 ways riding time
= 2×37–55 = 19 minutesCorrect Option: B

Distance between starting
point and multiplex = x metreTime = Distance Speed
According to the question,x − x = 5 + 5 ⇒ 4x − 3x = 1 3 4 60 12 6 ⇒ x = 1 ⇒ x = 12 = 2 km. 12 6 6 Correct Option: A
