Due to stoppages, bus covers 9 km less per hour.
Time taken to cover 9 km =(9/54) x 60 = 10 min
Hence, the train stops on an average 10 min per hour.
Due to stoppages, it covers 10 km less per hour.
Time taken to cover 10 km = (10/50) x 60 = 12 min
Hence, the train stops on an average 12 min per hour.
Let Brijesh Catches Amit after x h.
Then, distance travelled by Amit in (x + 4) h = Distance travelled by Brijesh in x h.
According to the question,
4(x + 4) = 20 x
? 4x + 16 = 20x
? 16x = 16
? x = 16/16 = 1
Distance travelled by Brijesh in1h = 1 x 20 = 20 km
Speed of car = Distance/Time = 200/240/60
= 600/8 = 75 km/h
Speed of jeep = 200/2 = 100 km/h
? Required ratio = 75/100 = 3/4 3 : 4
Let th distance = D
and usual speed = V
According to the question,
D/(3V/4) - D/V = 2
? D/V = 3 x 2 = 6
Time taken to cover the distance with usual speed = 6 h
Let required distance = L
According to the question,
L/16 - L/20 = 15/20
? (5L - 4L)/80 = 1/4
? L = (1/4) x 80 = 20 km
Let the total distance covered = L = Length of journey
According to the question,
(L/2 x 1/40) + (L/2 x 1/60) = 16
? L/80 + L/120 = 16
? (3L + 2L)/240 = 16
? 5L = 16 x 240
? L = (16 x 240)/5 = 16 x 48 = 768 km
Let usual speed of a man is V and time is t h.
By the formula, V1t1 = V2t2
Vt = 11/2 V(t - 20/60)
? t = 3/2(t - 1/3)
? 3/2 t - t = 1/2
? t = 1 h
Hence, the time taken by the man to reach his office at his usual speed is 1 h.
Let they meet after T h.
then, according to the question, 3T + 4T = 17.5
? 7T = 17.5
? T = 17.5/7 = 2.5 h
So, they meet 2.5 h after 8 : 00 am.
It means they meet at 10 : 30 am.
Required average speed = Total distance covered/Total time taken
= (3 x 39)/[39/26 + 39/39 +39/52]
= 3 x 13/(1/2 + 1/3 + 1/4)
= 3 x 13 x 12/13 = 36 km/h
Relative speed = 21 - 15 = 6 m per minute.
Relative distance = 114 m
Time taken to catche = 144/6 min = 19 min
