Correct Answer: 7.6 m/s
Correct Answer: 19 minutes
Explanation:
Inspector s 228 meter behind the thief and now aftersome x distance he will catch the thief. So
x/30 = 228+x/42 => x = 570 m
(228 + 570) / 42 = 19 min
Correct Answer: 3/4 hrs
Explanation:
Walking at 3/4th of usual rate implies that time taken would be 4/3th of the usual time. In other words, the time taken is 1/3rd more than his usual time
so 1/3rd of the usual time = 15min
or usual time = 3 x 15 = 45min = 45/60 hrs = 3/4 hrs.
Correct Answer: 2.2 hrs
Explanation:
Let the original Speed be "s" kmph
And the usual time be "t" hrs
Given that if the bus is running at 9s/10 kmph the time is 22 hrs
=> [9s/10] x 22 = t x s
=> 99/5 = t
=> t = 19.8 hrs
Hence, if bus runs at its own speed, the time saved = 22 - 19.8 = 2.2 hrs.
Correct Answer: 48 kmph
Explanation:
we know that speed = distance traveled/time taken
let the total distance traveled by the car is 2x km.
then time taken by it to cover first half is x/60 hour.
and for second half is x/40 hour.
Then average speed= total distance travelled / total time taken.
i.e.
=>
= 48 kmph.
Correct Answer: 990 km
Correct Answer: 7.2 hrs
Explanation:
After servicing, the distance covered by car in 6 hours = 60 * 6 = 360 km Without servicing, speed of car = 50 kmph => Required time = Distance/speed = 360/50 = 7.2 hrs.
Correct Answer: 1.125
Correct Answer: 10.2 km
Correct Answer: 332 m/s
