- Question
- A car crosses a man walking at 6 km/h. The man can see the things up to 450m only in one direction due to fog. He sees the car which was going in the same direction for 4.5 minutes. What is the speed of the car?
Options- A. 9 km/h
- B. 12 km/h
- C. 12.5 km/h
- D. 15 km/h
- Correct Answer
- 12 km/h
ExplanationTime = Total distance / Relative speed
4.5/60 hr. = (450/1000) / x
? x = 6 km/h
Relative speed = Speed of car - Speed of man
6 = x - 6
? x = 12 km/h - 1. Anjali fires two bullets from the same place at the interval of 6 minutes but Bhagwat sitting in a car approaching the place of firing hears the second fire 5 min 32 sec after the first firing. What is the speed of car, if the speed of sound is 332 m/s?

Correct Answer: 28 m/s
Explanation:
(speed of wind) / (speed of car) = (Time utilised) / (time saved)
? 332/x = 332/28
? x = 28 m/s
Correct Answer: 18
Explanation:
Circumferences means one resolutions .
Therefore, distance covered in 10 resolutions =300 x 10 = 30 m
i.e., 30 meters in 6 seconds.
? Speed of wheel = 30/6 m/s = 5 m/s
? 5 m/s = 5 x (18/5) = 18 km/h
Correct Answer: 150 m
Explanation:
Let the length of train be x m, then
x/10 = (120 + x)/18
? x = 150m
Correct Answer: 72 sec.
Explanation:
Relative speed = 50 - 40 = 10 km/h = 50/18 m/s
? Time taken = Sum of length of the trains / Relative speed
= (200/50) x 18 = 72 sec.
Correct Answer: 60 sec
Explanation:
Relative speed = 20 + 1 = 21 km/h = 21 x 5/18 = 35/6 m/s
Time = Length of train / Relative speed = (350/35) x 6 = 60 s
Correct Answer: 10 : 30 am
Explanation:
Let they meet after x h.
Then, according to the question,
3x + 4x = 17.5
? 7x = 17.5
? x = 17.5 / 7 = 2.5 h
So, they meet 2.5 h after 8:00 am.
It means they meet at 10:30 am.
Correct Answer: 8 : 56 am
Explanation:
Let distance between Manipur and Dispur = D km
Average speed of train from Manipur = D/4 km/h
Average speed of train from Dispur = 2D/7 km/h
Let they meet T h after 6:00 am.
Then, according to the question,
(D/4 x T) + 2D/7 x (T - 2) = D
? T/4 + 2(T - 2)/7 = 1
? 7T + 8(T - 2) = 28
? 15T = 44
? T = 44/15 h = 2h 56 min
Clearly, trains meet 2 h 56 min after 6:00 am.
It means the trains meet at 8:56 am.
Correct Answer: 30 km
Explanation:
Let the distance traveled on foot be x km
Then, distance converted by bicycle = (45 - x) km
? x/3 + (45 -x) /8 = 83/4 = 35/4
? (8x + 135 - 3x)/24 = 35/4
? 5x + 135 = 210
? 5x = 75
? x = 15
? Distance converted by bicycle = (45 - 15) = 300 km
Correct Answer: 500 m
Explanation:
Suppose length of the train = L m
Speed of the train = 60 km/h = 60 x 1000 = 60000 m/h
Length of tunnel = 1.5 km = 1500 m
Time taken by train = 2 min = 1/30 h
Time = Distance/Speed
? 1/30 = L + 1500/60000
? l = 500 m
Correct Answer: 56.25 km/h
Explanation:
Let the speed of the train during returning journey be x km/h
Speed during onward journey = x + 25x/100 = 5x/4 km/h.
Distance coverd in onward journey = 800 / 2 = 400 km
Total time taken = Covered distance / Speed
Time taken by train in onward journey = 400/(5x/4)
and time taken in returning journey = 400/x
Thus, 400/(5x/4) + 400/x = 16
? 320/x + 400/x = 16
? 16x = 720
? x = 45 km/h
Speed of the train in the onward journey = 5 x 45/4 = 56.25 km/h
