- Question
- Raman covers 1 km in 8 min while suman covers the same distance in 10 min. By what distance does Raman beat Suman?
Options- A. 150 m
- B. 65 m
- C. 190 m
- D. 200 m
- Correct Answer
- 200 m
ExplanationRaman covers 1 km in 8 min
and suman cover 1 km in 10 min.
If they starts together, then distance covered by suman in 8 min
= (1000/10) x 8 = 800 m
? Raman will beat suman by (1000 - 800 ) m = 200 m - 1. A man rows to a place 48 km distance and back in 14 hours . He finds that he can row 4 km with the stream in the same time as 3 km against the stream. Find the rate of the stream?

Options- A. 250 m
- B. 200 m
- C. 225 m
- D. 235 m Discuss

Correct Answer: 1 km/hr
Explanation:
Suppose that the man takes H hours to cover 4 km downstream and H house to cover 3 km upstream.
Then, 48H/4 + 48H/3 = 14
? H = 1/2
? Rate upstream = 3/(1/2)= 6 km/hr
and rate downstream = 4/(1/2) = 8 km/hr
? Rate of the stream = (8 - 6)/2 = 1 km/hr .
Correct Answer: 2.4 km/hr
Explanation:
? [(9 + 6)/(9 - 6)] x v = 12
? v = 2.4 km/hr
Correct Answer: 3 hrs
Explanation:
Upstream distance = (4 - 2) x 9 = 18 km
? Required time = 18/(4 + 2) = 3 hrs.
Correct Answer: 4 km/h
Explanation:
Let the speed of a boat and stream be U and V km/h
? Speed of boat along stream = (U + V) km/h
and speed of boat against stream = (U - V) km/h
According to the question,
25/(U - V) + 39/(U + V) = 8 ....(i)
and 35/(U - V) + 52/(U + V ) = 11 ..(ii)
On multiplying Eq. (i) by 4 and Eq. (ii) by 3, then subtract Eq. (ii) from Eq, we get
100/(U - V) - 105/(U - V) = -1
? 5/(U - V) = 1
? U - V = 5 ...(iii)
On substituting the value of (U - V) = 5 in Eq. (i) we get
25/5 + 39/(U + V) = 8
? 39/(U + V) = 8 - 5
? U + V = 39/3
? U + V = 13 ....(iv)
On solving Eqs. (iii) and (iv), we get
U = 9 and V = 4
Hence, speed of stream = 4 km/h
Correct Answer: 8 : 3
Explanation:
Let boat's rate upstream be U and boat's rate downstream = V
According to the question.
Distance covered in 528 min = Distance covered in 240 min
? Distance covered in 8 h 48 min = Distance covered in 4 h
? U x 84/5 = V x 4
? (44 x U)/5 = 4V
? V = (11 x U)/5
? Required ratio = (V + U)/2 : (V - U)/2
? = (11U/5 + U)/2 : (11U/5 - U)/ 2
? = 16U/5 : 6U/5 = 8 : 3
Correct Answer: 130 m
Explanation:
Required distance = (150 - 20) m = 130 m
Correct Answer: 200 m
Explanation:
Required length = (175 + 25)m = 200 m
Correct Answer: 75 m
Explanation:
Start given by A to B = (800 - 725)m = 75 m
Correct Answer: 35
Explanation:
Score of A = 100 points
Score of B = 65 points
? A can give (100 - 65 ) = 35 points to B.
Correct Answer: 491 s
Explanation:
Clearly, B covers 18 m in 9 s.
? B's time over the course = 9/18 x 1000 = 500 s
? A' s time over the course = (500 - 9) = 491 s
