Correct Answer: 14.4 km/h
Explanation:
Time taken by Kamal to run 100 m = 100 / 18 x 5 / 18 = 20 s Therefore, time taken by Bimal to run 100 m = 20 + 5 = 25 s
Hence, Bimal's speed = 100 / 25 = 4 m/sec = 4 x 18 Km/h = 14.4 Km/h
Correct Answer: 10 hours
Explanation:
A will reach at starting point in 5 * 2 / 5 = 2 hours ;
B will reach at starting point in 5 / 3 hours ;
C will reach at starting point in 5 / 2 hours ;
Then, on the starting point all three will meet after the L.C.M. of 2, 5 / 3, 5 / 2, 10 / 1 = 10 hours.
Correct Answer: 4.14 km/h
Explanation:
A's speed = (5 * 5 / 18) m/sec = 25 / 18 m/sec
Time taken by A to cover 100 m = (100 * 18 / 25) sec = 72 seconds.
? B covers 92 m in 72 + 8 = 80 seconds.
B's speed = (92 / 80 * 18 / 5) Km/h = 4.14 Km/h.
Correct Answer: 60 m
Explanation:
Speeds (in m/sec) of A and B are
9 / 2 * 5 / 18 = 5 / 4 and 6 * 5 / 18 = 5 / 3, respectively.
A has a start of 190 m.
So, A has to run 1000 - 190 = 810 m, while B 1000 m.
Time taken by B to cover 1000 m = 3 5 × 1000 = 600 seconds.
In this time, A covers 5 × 600 / 4 = 750 m.
So, B reaches the winning post while A remains 810 - 750 = 60 m behind.
? B wins by 60 m.
Correct Answer: 20 m
Explanation:
To reach the winning post, A will have to cover a distance of (500 - 140). i.e, 360 m.
While A covers 3 m, B covers 4 m.
While A covers 360 m, B covers 4 × 360 / 3 = 480 m.
So, A reaches the winning post while B remains 20 meter behind.
? A wins by 20 m.
Correct Answer: 150 m
Explanation:
While Arun's 1000 m, B runs 1000 - 100 = 900 m and C runs 1000 - 200 = 800 m.
? While B runs 900 m, C runs 800 m.
? While B runs 1350 m; C runs 800 / 900 × 1350 = 1200 m
? B can beat C by 1350 - 1200 = 150 m.
Correct Answer: 50 m
Explanation:
According to question,
A can run a distance of 1 Km in 3 minutes 10 seconds and B can run the same distance in 3 minutes 20 seconds.
A beats B by 10 sec.
So distance covered by B in 10 sec. = (1000 *10 / 200) m = 50 m
? A beat B by 50 m.
Correct Answer: 9 points
Explanation:
If A scores 120 points, then B scores 100 points and C scores 90 points.
When B scores 100 points, then C scores 90 points.
When B scores 90 points than C scores (90/100) x 90 points = 81 points
? B can give C, 9 points in a game of 90.
Correct Answer: 10 : 30 am
Explanation:
Distance between Arun and Bhaskar at 7:30 am = 8 x 11/2 = 12 km
Time taken by Bhaskar in covering a distance of 12 km = 12/(12 - 8) = 3 h
? Required time = 10 : 30 am
Correct Answer: 2 min, 5/3 min
Explanation:
A walks 1 km in 5 min.
Then, distance covered by A in 1 min = 1000/5 = 200 m
B walks 1 km in 8 min.
Then, distance covered by B in 1 min = 1000/8 = 125 m
C walks 1 km in 10 min.
Then, distance covered by C in 1 min = 1000/101 = 100 m
Let A meets B and C in x and y min, respectively.
Then, according to the question,
Distance covered by C in(x + 2) min = Distance covered by A in x min
? 100(x + 2) = 200 x
?100 x + 200 = 200 x
? 200 = 100 x
? x = 200/100 = 2 min
Now, for A and B
Distance covered by B in (y + 1) min = Distance covered by A in y min
? 125(y + 1) = 200y
? 125y + 125 = 200y
? 125 = 200y - 125y
? 125 = 75y
? y = 125/75 = 5/3 min.
