2 trains starting at the same time from 2 stations 200 km apart and going in opposite direction cross each other at a distance of 110 km from one of the stations. What is the ratio of their speeds ?

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

We are having time and speed given, so first we will calculate the distance. Then we can get new speed for given time and distance.
Lets solve it.

Time = 50/60 hr = 5/6 hr
Speed = 48 mph
Distance = S*T = 48 * 5/6 = 40 km

New time will be 40 minutes so,
Time = 40/60 hr = 2/3 hr
Now we know,
Speed = Distance/Time
New speed = 40*3/2 kmph = 60kmph

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

We need to get the answer in meters. So we will first of change distance from km/hour to meter/sec by multiplying it with 5/18 and also change 15 minutes to seconds by multiplying it with 60.

\begin{aligned}
Speed = 5* \frac{5}{18} = \frac{25}{18}m/sec \\
Time = 15*60 seconds = 900 seconds \\

Distance = Time * Speed \\
Distance = \frac{25}{18}*900 = 1250 meter
\end{aligned}

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Let time taken to travel the first half = x hr
Then time taken to travel the second half = (10 - x) hr

Distance covered in the the first half = 21x [because, distance = time*speed]
Distance covered in the the second half = 24(10 - x)

Distance covered in the the first half = Distance covered in the the second half
So,
21x = 24(10 - x)
=> 45x = 240
=> x = 16/3

Total Distance = 2*21(16/3) = 224 Km [multiplied by 2 as 21x was distance of half way]

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Important to Note first - Dead Head means - run or finish a race at exactly level or at same time.

From question it is clear that Ram runs faster than Sham by 25%,
So if Sham runs 100 meter in a given time then Ram will run 125 meter in that time.
So if Sham runs 4 meter then Ram will run 5 meter in given time (divide both by 25)
=> Ram can give Sham a lead of 1 meter in 5 meter race to finish race in dead heat.
Ratio of length of start given : length of race :: 1 : 5
As per question, start was given of 7 meter, So,
Length of race was 7 * 5 = 35.

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Speed while going = 40 km/hr
Speed while returning = 150% of 40 = 60 km/hr

Average speed =
\begin{aligned}
\frac{2xy}{x+y} \\
= \frac{2*40*60}{40+60} = \frac{4800}{100} \\
= 48 Km/hr
\end{aligned}
