- Question
A man's speed with the current is 15 km/hr and the speed of the current is 2.5 km/hr. The man's speed against the current is :
Options- A. 9.5 km/hr
- B. 10 km/hr
- C. 10.5 km/hr
- D. 11 km/hr
- Correct Answer
- 10 km/hr
ExplanationMan's rate in still water = (15 - 2.5) km/hr = 12.5 km/hr.
Therefore, Man's rate against the current = (12.5 - 2.5) = 10 km/hr.

Correct Answer: 3:2
Explanation:
Note : If two trains (or bodies) start at the same time from points A and B towards each other and after crossing they take a and b sec in reaching B and A respectively, then: (A's speed) : (B's speed) = (b : a)
Therefore, Ratio of the speeds of two trains = = 3 : 2
Correct Answer: 6
Correct Answer: 62
Explanation:
Relative speed =280/9 m / sec = (280/9*18/5) kmph = 112 kmph.
Speed of goods train = (112 - 50) kmph = 62 kmph.
Correct Answer: 8
Correct Answer: 9 × 1099
Correct Answer: 24
Correct Answer: 36
Explanation:
Distance covered = 120+120 = 240 m
Time = 12 s
Let the speed of each train = v. Then relative speed = v + v = 2v
2v = distance/time = 240/12 = 20 m/s
Speed of each train = v = 20/2 = 10 m/s
= 10 × 36/10 km/hr = 36 km/hr
Correct Answer: 79.2 km/hr
Correct Answer: 30
Explanation:
108 kmph = 108*[5/18] m/sec = 30 m / s.
Correct Answer: 10
Explanation:
Assume both trains meet after x hours after 7 am
Distance covered by train starting from P in x hours = 20x km
Distance covered by train starting from Q in (x-1) hours = 25(x-1)
Total distance = 110
=> 20x + 25(x-1) = 110
=> 45x = 135
=> x= 3
Means, they meet after 3 hours after 7 am, ie, they meet at 10 am
