Time and Distance problems
- 1. A race has three parts. The speed and time required to complete the individual parts for a runner is displayed on the following chart: Part I Part II Part III Speed (kmph) 9 8 7.5 Time (minutes) 50 80 100 What is the average speed of this runner?
Options- A. 8.17 kmph
- B. 8.00 kmph
- C. 7.80 kmph
- D. 7.77 kmph Also asked in: Bank Exams

Avg speed = Tot dist/Tot time = (45+64+75)/23 = 184/23
= 8 kmph
- 2. A plane is going in circles around an airport. The plane takes 3 minutes to complete one round. The angle of elevation of the plane from a point P on the ground at time t seconds is equal to that at time (t + 30) seconds. At time (t + x) seconds, the plane flies vertically above the point P. What is x equal to?
Options- A. 75 seconds
- B. 90 seconds
- C. 105 seconds
- D. 135 seconds Also asked in: Bank Exams
Correct Answer: 105 seconds
Explanation:
Let the plane be at point A at t se
conds and at point B
after t + 30 seconds
Since the motion is uniform, we can say that at time t+15 seconds, the plane is above the point is
diametrically opposite to the point P from where the angle is same.
Now since the time taken to cover the full circ
le is 3 minutes (180
seconds), the time taken by the plane
to reach the diametrically opposite point will be 90 seconds.
So the time after which the plane reaches the point P will be = t+ 15 + 90 seconds = (t + 105 )seconds
