- Question
Den Bosch and Eastbourne are two famous cities 300 km apart. Maradona starts from Den Bosch at 8:24 am . An hour later pele starts from Den Bosch. After travelling for 1 hour , Pele reaches Nottingham that Maradona had passed 40 minutes earlier. Nottingham falls on the way from Den Bosch to Eastbourne. If pele and Maradona just reaches Eastbourne at the same time, what are thespeeds of the Maradona and Pele Respectively?
Options- A. 100 km/h , 125 km/h
- B. 60 km/h , 80 km/h
- C. 60 km/h , 75 km/h
- D. 75 km/h , 100 km/h
- Correct Answer
- 75 km/h , 100 km/h
ExplanationLet Pele x km in 1 hour. so Maradona takes (2h-40min)=1 h 20 min to cover x km. Let speed of Maradona and Pele be M and P respectively than
x =M x (4/3) and x= P x 1
=> M/P = 3/4
Again
=> k= 25
M= 3k = 75 km/h and P= 4k = 100 km/h
( Through options it is very easy to solve)

Correct Answer: 8
Explanation:
u = k , v= 3k
=> k = 8km/h
Correct Answer: 120 km
Correct Answer: 60 kmph
Explanation:
Speed of tractor = 360/12 = 30 kmph
Speed of jeep = 250 x 30/100 = 75 kmph
But, given ratio of speed of car, jeep and tractor is 3 : 5 : 2
Speed of car = 3 x 75/5 = 45 kmph
Required, average speed of car and jeep = 75 + 45/2 = 60 kmph.
Correct Answer: 5 kmph
Explanation:
Let p be the speed of man in kmph
According to the given data in the question,
Distance travelled by bus in 10 min with 20 kmph == Distance travelled by man in 8 min with (20 + p) kmph in opposite direction
=> 20 x 10/60 = 8/60 (20 + p)
=> 200 = 160 + 8p
=> p = 40/8 = 5 kmph.
Correct Answer: 40
Explanation:
Let distance = x km and usual rate = y kmph.
Then, x/y - x/(y+3) = 40/60 --> 2y (y+3) = 9x ----- (i)
Also, x/(y-2) - x/y = 40/60 --> y(y-2) = 3x -------- (ii)
On dividing (i) by (ii), we get:
x = 40 km.
Correct Answer: 204 m
Explanation:
To find the minimum distance, we have to get the LCM of 75, 80, 85
Now, LCM of 75, 80, 85 = 5 x 15 x 16 x 17 = 20400
Hence, the minimum distance each should walk so that thay can cover the distance in complete steps = 20400 cms = 20400/100 = 204 mts.
Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Man walked 6 km at 1.5 kmph, again he walked 8 km at speed of 2 kmph and 40 km at a speed of 8kmph
time taken indivisually:
=> 6/1.5 = 4 m
=> 8/2 = 4 m
=> 40/8 = 5 m
Average speed of man= total distance/ total time
=> 54/13 =
kmph
Correct Answer: 8 hrs
Explanation:
Given speed of the bike after servicing = 55 kmph
Time taken for travelling some distance at 55 kmph = 5 hrs
Then,
Distance = Speed x Time = 55 x 5 = 275 kms.
Now,
Speed of the bike before servicing = 35 kmph
Distance = 275 kms
Now, Time = Distance/Speed = 275/35 = 7.85 hrs =~ 8 hrs.
Correct Answer: 60 kmph
Explanation:
Speed of lorry = = 30 kmph
Speed of van = = 75 kmph
Speed of bike = = 45 kmph
Therefore, now required average speed of bike and van = = 60 kmph.
Correct Answer: 32 sec
Explanation:
Given that,
1st train speed = 62 km/hr
2nd train speed = 44 km/hr
Hence the relative speed of two trains is : 62-44 = 18 km/hr = m/s = 5 m/s.
There fore, the first train crosses the second train i.e (85+75)mts of distance with a speed of 5m/s in,
time = = 32 sec.
