Course Material – SSA II Time & Distance

Exercise Problems

Answer
Q.No Solution
Option
B)800km
Explanation:
2x/5 = 1200…………air
1 B
X = 3000km………….total distance
3000/3 = 1000km………train
Train = 3000 – (1200+1000) = 800km(car)
Answer – C)17 hrs
Explanation:
2 C
Relative speed=0.5 km/hr
Time=8.5/0.5
Answer – A.34min
Explanation:
4*(2+30/60) = 4*2.5 = 10km
3 A
17.5kmph then T= 10/17.5 =100/175
= 20/35 = 4/7
Time = 4*60/7 = 34min
Answer – A (10 min)
4 A Explanation – Due to stoppages, it covers 9 km less. Time taken to cover 9 km =
(9/54 x 60) min = 10 min
Answer – C (60 kmph)
Explanation – Number of gaps between 21 telephone posts = 20 Distance traveled in
5 C
1 minute = (50 x 20) m = 1000 m = 1 km
Speed = 60 km/hr
Answer- A(100m)
Explanation:
6 A Relative speed of the thief and policeman = (11 – 10) km/hr = 1 km/hr
Distance covered in 6 minutes =[(1/60)*6] km = (1/10)km = 100 m.
Distance between the thief and policeman = (200 – 100) m = 100 m.
Answer – C (48 kmph)
Explanation – Speed on return trip = 150% of 40 = 60 kmph
7 C
Average speed =
[2 x 40 x 60] / [40 + 6]km/hr =4800/100km/hr = 48 km/hr.
Answer – C (4 1/2 hrs)
Explanation – Distance covered in first 2 hours = (70 x 2) km = 140 km
Distance covered in next 2 hours = (80 x 2) km = 160 km
Remaining distance = 345 – (140 + 160) = 45 km.
Speed in the fifth hour = 90 km/hr
8 C
Time taken to cover 45 km = as speed is 90km/hr means it covers 90 km in 1 hour
so,if 90km………..1 hr
45km……….?
?=45/90hr=1/2hr
Total time taken = 2 + 2 +1/2=4 (1/2)hrs
Answer – B.360km
Explanation:
x/40 – x/45 = 1
9 B
9x-8x/360 = 1
x/360 = 1
x = 360km

Answer – C.10km
Explanation:
x/5 + 50-x/8 =7
10 C 8x+250-5x = 7*40
3x+250 = 280
3x = 30
X = 30/3 = 10km
