  1. A speed of 36 km/hr. is the same as ?








  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    Speed in m/sec = speed in km/hr x (5 / 18 )
    Speed in m/sec = ( 36 x 5/18 ) m/sec

    Correct Option: A

    Speed in m/sec = speed in km/hr x (5 / 18 )
    Speed in m/sec = ( 36 x 5/18 ) m/sec
    = 10 m/sec

  1. Rahim covers a certain distance in 14 hrs 40 min. He covers one half of the distance by train at 60 km/hr. and rest half by road at 50 km/hr. The distance travelled by him is ?

    Let the total distance be y km.
    Then, (y/2) x (1/60) + (y/2) x (1/50) = 44/3

    Correct Option: D

    Let the total distance be y km.
    Then, (y/2) x (1/60) + (y/2) x (1/50) = 44/3
    ⇒ y/120 + y/100 = 44/3
    ⇒ 5y + 6y = 8800
    ⇒ y = 800
    ∴ Required distance = 800km.

  1. A car complete a certain journey in 8 hour. It cover half the distance at 40 km/hr and the rest at 60 km/hr, The length of a journey is ?

    Let the length of total journey be y km.

    From question
    ( y/2 x 1/40 ) + ( y/2 x 1/60) = 8

    Correct Option: C

    Let the length of total journey be y km.

    From question
    ( y/2 x 1/40 ) + ( y/2 x 1/60) = 8
    ⇒ y/80 + y/120 = 8
    ⇒ 3y + 2y = 1920
    ∴ y = 384 km.

  1. A car covers four successive three km stretches at speed of 10 km/hr, 20 km/hr, 30 km/hr and 60 km/hr. respectively. Its average speed over this distance is ?

    Total time taken = (3/10 + 3/20 + 3/30 + 3/60) hrs.
    = 3/5 hrs.

    Correct Option: B

    Total time taken = (3/10 + 3/20 + 3/30 + 3/60) hrs.
    = 3/5 hrs.

    ∴ Average speed = {12 / (3 / 5)} km/hr.
    = (12 x 5 ) / 3 km/hr.
    = 20 km/hr.

  1. Two men start together to walk to a certain destination, one at 3.75 km an hour and another at 3 km an hour. The former arrives half an hour before the latter, the distance is ?








  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    Let the distance be y km.
    From question
    y/3 - y/3.75 = 1/2

    Correct Option: C

    Let the distance be y km.
    From question
    y/3 - y/3.75 = 1/2
    ⇒ (3.75y - 3y) / (3 x 3.75) = 1/2
    ⇒ 1.5y= 3 x 3.75
    ∴ y = ( 3 x 3.75 ) / 1.5
    = 7.5 km.
