1. Answer: Option D
Explanation:
5 50
Speed= 60 x m/sec = m/sec.
18 3
50
Length of the train = (Speed x Time) = x 9 m = 150 m.
3
2.Answer: Option B
Explanation:
125
Speed of the train relative to man = m/sec
10
25
= m/sec.
2
25 18
= x km/hr
2 5
= 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.
3.Answer: Option C
Explanation:
5 25
Speed = 45 x m/sec = m/sec.

Time = 30 sec.
Let the length of bridge be x metres.
130 + x 25
Then, =
30 2
2(130 + x) = 750
x = 245 m.
4. Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Let the speeds of the two trains be x m/sec and y m/sec respectively.
Then, length of the first train = 27x metres,
and length of the second train = 17y metres.
27x + 17y
= 23
x+ y
27x + 17y = 23x + 23y
4x = 6y
x 3
= .
y 2
5.Answer: Option B
Explanation:
5
Speed = 54 x m/sec = 15 m/sec.
18
Length of the train = (15 x 20)m = 300 m.
Let the length of the platform be x metres.
x + 300
Then, = 15
36
x + 300 = 540
x = 240 m.
6.Answer: Option A
Explanation:
Let 1 man's 1 day's work = x and 1 boy's 1 day's work = y.
1 1
Then, 6x + 8y = and 26x + 48y = .
10 2
1 1
Solving these two equations, we get : x = and y = .
100 200
15 20 1
(15 men + 20 boy)'s 1 day's work = + = .
100 200 4
15 men and 20 boys can do the work in 4 days.

C's 1 day's work =
50
1 1 6 3
(A + B + C)'s 1 day's work = + = = . .... (i)
10 50 50 25
A's 1 day's work = (B + C)'s 1 day's work .... (ii)
3
From (i) and (ii), we get: 2 x (A's 1 day's work) =
25
3
A's 1 day's work = .
50
1 3 2 1
B's 1 day's work - = = .
10 50 50 25
So, B alone could do the work in 25 days.
9. Answer: Option C
Explanation:
5
Whole work is done by A in 20 x = 25 days.
4
4 1
Now, 1- i.e., work is done by A and B in 3 days.
5 5
Whole work will be done by A and B in (3 x 5) = 15 days.
1 1
A's 1 day's work = , (A + B)'s 1 day's work = .
25 15
1 1 4 2
B's 1 day's work = - = = .
15 25 150 75

10. Answer: Option D
Explanation:
1 1 1 37
(P + Q + R)'s 1 hour's work = + + = .
8 10 12 120
37 37
Work done by P, Q and R in 2 hours = x2 = .
120 60
37 23
Remaining work = 1- = .
60 60
1 1 11
(Q + R)'s 1 hour's work = + = .
10 12 60
11
Now, work is done by Q and R in 1 hour.
60
23 work will be done by 60 23 23
So, x = hours 2 hours.
60 Q and R in 11 60 11
So, the work will be finished approximately 2 hours after 11 A.M., i.e., around 1 P.M.
11. Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Let their present ages be 4x, 7x and 9x years respectively.
Then, (4x - 8) + (7x - 8) + (9x - 8) = 56
20x = 80
x = 4.
Their present ages are 4x = 16 years, 7x = 28 years and 9x = 36 years respectively.
12.Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Mother's age when Ayesha's brother was born = 36 years.
Father's age when Ayesha's brother was born = (38 + 4) years = 42 years.
Required difference = (42 - 36) years = 6 years.
13. Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Let the mother's present age be x years.

x + 8 = (x + 8)
5 2
2(2x + 40) = 5(x + 8)
x = 40.
14. Answer: Option D
Explanation:
Given that:
1. The difference of age b/w R and Q = The difference of age b/w Q and T.
Question: R - Q = ?.
Explanation:
R-Q=Q-T
(R + T) = 2Q
Question is (R - Q) = ?
Here we know the value(age) of Q (25), but we don't know the age of R.
