Question Detail
In a flight of 600 km, an aircraft was slowed down due to bad weather. Its average speed for the trip was reduced by 200 km/hr and the time of flight increased by 30 minutes. What is the duration of the flight ?
- 3 hours
- 2.4 hours
- 1.4 hours
- 1 hour
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
1. The ratio between the speeds of two trains is 7: 8. If the second train runs 400 kms in 4 hours, then the speed of the first train is ?
- 83.5 km/hr
- 84.5 km/hr
- 86.5 km/hr
- 87.5 km/hr
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
Let the speeds of two trains be 7X and 8X km/hr.
\begin{aligned}
8X = \frac{400}{4} \\
=> X = 12.5 Km/hr
\end{aligned}
So speed of first train is 12.5*7 = 87.5 km/hr
2. 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 ?
- 11:9
- 13:9
- 17:9
- 21:9
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
We know total distance is 200 Km
If both trains crossed each other at a distance of 110 km then one train covered 110 km and other 90 km [110+90=200km]
So ratio of their speed = 110:90 = 11:9
3. A man is walking at the rate of 5 km/hr crosses a bridge in 15 minutes. The length of the bridge is
- 1000 meters
- 1050 meters
- 1200 meters
- 1250 meters
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}
4. A person travels equal distances with speed of 3 km/hr, 4 km/hr and 5 km/hr and takes a total of 47 minutes. Find the total distane
- 3 km
- 4 km
- 6 km
- 9 km
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
Let the distance be 3x km,
then,
\begin{aligned}
\frac{x}{3} +\frac{x}{4} +\frac{x}{5} = \frac{47}{60} \\
\frac{47x}{60} =\frac{47}{60} \\
x = 1
\end{aligned}
So total distance = 3*1 = 3 Km
5. A person travels from P to Q at a speed of 40 km/hr and returns by increasing his speed by 50%. What is his average speed for both the trips ?
- 44 km/hour
- 46 km/hour
- 48 km/hour
- 50 km/hour
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}
