= 5 + 2 kmph = 9 kmph 2 2 Time = Distance = 18 Relative speed (9/2) = 18 × 2 = 4 hours 9 Correct Option: A
= 5 + 2 kmph = 9 kmph 2 2 Time = Distance = 18 Relative speed (9/2) = 18 × 2 = 4 hours 9

Speed of train = Distance Time = 10 kmph (12/60) = 10 × 60 = 50 kmph 12
New speed = 45 kmph∴ Required time = 10 hour 45 = 2 × 60 minutes 9 = 40 minutes 3
= 13 minutes 20 secondsCorrect Option: B

Man’s speed = Distance Time = a kmph b = 1000a m/hour b
∴ Time taken in walking 200 metre= 200 = b hours 1000a/b 5a Correct Option: B
Man’s speed = Distance Time = a kmph b = 1000a m/hour b
∴ Time taken in walking 200 metre= 200 = b hours 1000a/b 5a

∵ 1 m/sec = 18 kmph 5 ∴ 10 m/sec 3 = 18 × 10 = 12 kmph 5 3 Correct Option: D
∵ 1 m/sec = 18 kmph 5 ∴ 10 m/sec 3 = 18 × 10 = 12 kmph 5 3

Speed of train = 60 kmph
Time = 210 minutes= 210 hours 60 or 7 hours 2 Distance covered = 60 × 7 = 210 km 2 Time taken at 80 kmph = 210 = 21 hours 80 8 = 2 5 hours 8
Second Method :Here, S1 60, t1 = 210 hrs 60
S2 = 80, t2 = ?
S1t1 = S2t260 × 210 = 80 × t2 60 t2 = 2 5 hrs 8 Correct Option: B
