A train traveled at an average speed of 100 km/hr, stopping for 3 minutes after every 75 km. How long did it take to reach its destination 600 km from the starting point.

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Due to stoppages, it covers 9 km less.

Time taken to cover 9 km = (9/54) hour
= (1/6)*60 minutes
= 10 minutes

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 B

Explanation:

Time taken to cover 600 km = 6 hours [because train speed is 100 km/hr]

Number of stops =
begin{aligned}
frac{600}{75} - 1 = 7 \
text{Total time on stops =}7*3 = 21 mins

end{aligned}
Total time taken by train = 6 hours 21 mins

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 D

Explanation:

Let the duration of the flight be x hours.
Then
\begin{aligned}
\frac{600}{x}-\frac{600}{x + \frac{1}{2}} = 200 \\
\frac{600}{x}-\frac{1200}{2x+1} = 200 \\
x(2x+1) = 3 \\
2x^2 + x - 3 = 0 \\
=> (2x+3)(x-1)=0

\end{aligned}
Neglecting the negative value for x we get x = 1
