120 metres B. 180 metres C. 324 metres D.150 metres Answer & Explanation Answer: Option D Explanation: Speed= 60 x 5 50 = 18 m/sec 3 m/sec.

50 x9 3 m = 150 m. View Answer Workspace Report Discuss in Forum Length of the train = (Speed x Time) = 2. A train 125 m long passes a man, running at 5 km/hr in the same direction in which the train is going, in 10 seconds. The speed of the train is: A.45 km/hr B. 50 km/hr C. 54 km/hr D.55 km/hr Answer & Explanation Answer: Option B Explanation: Speed of the train relative to man = 25 2 m/sec. 25 18 = x 2 5 km/hr = = 45 km/hr. Let the speed of the train be x km/hr. Then, relative speed = (x - 5) km/hr. x - 5 = 45 x = 50 km/hr. 125 10 m/sec

Answer & Explanation nswer: Option C Explanation: Speed = 45 x 5 25 = 18 m/sec 2 m/sec.

Time = 30 sec. Let the length of bridge be x metres. Then, 130 + x 25 = 30 2

2(130 + x) = 750 x = 245 m.

nswer: Option C Explanation: Speed = 45 x 5 25 = 18 m/sec 2 m/sec.

Time = 30 sec. Let the length of bridge be x metres. Then, 130 + x 25 = 30 2

2(130 + x) = 750 x = 245 m. Numbers: Find the odd man out. 1. 3, 5, 11, 14, 17, 21 A.21 C. 14

A boat can travel with a speed of 13 km/hr in still water. If the speed of the stream is 4 km/hr, find the time taken by the boat to go 68 km downstream. A.2 hours B. 3 hours C. 4 hours D.5 hours Answer & Explanation Answer: Option C Explanation: Speed downstream = (13 + 4) km/hr = 17 km/hr. 68 17 hrs = 4 hrs. View Answer Workspace Report Discuss in Forum Time taken to travel 68 km downstream = 2. A man's speed with the current is 15 km/hr and the speed of the current is 2.5 km/hr. The man's speed against the current is: A.8.5 km/hr B. 9 km/hr C. 10 km/hr D.12.5 km/hr Answer & Explanation Answer: Option C Explanation: Man's rate in still water = (15 - 2.5) km/hr = 12.5 km/hr.

Man's rate against the current = (12.5 - 2.5) km/hr = 10 km/hr. View Answer Workspace Report Discuss in Forum 3. A boat running upstream takes 8 hours 48 minutes to cover a certain distance, while it takes 4 hours to cover the same distance running downstream. What is the ratio between the speed of the boat and speed of the water current respectively? A.2 : 1 B. 3 : 2 C. 8 : 3 D.Cannot be determined E. None of these Answer & Explanation Answer: Option C Explanation: Let the man's rate upstream be x kmph and that downstream be y kmph. Then, distance covered upstream in 8 hrs 48 min = Distance covered downstream in 4 hrs. xx8 4 = (y x 4) 5

A motorboat, whose speed in 15 km/hr in still water goes 30 km downstream and comes back in a total of 4 hours 30 minutes. The speed of the stream (in km/hr) is: A.4 B. 5 C. 6 D.10 Answer & Explanation Answer: Option B y+x y-x : 2 2

Explanation: Let the speed of the stream be x km/hr. Then, Speed downstream = (15 + x) km/hr, Speed upstream = (15 - x) km/hr. 30 30 1 + =4 (15 + x) (15 - x) 2 900 9 = 225 - x2 2 9x2 = 225 x2 = 25 x = 5 km/hr.
