Answer Key with Detailed Solution
1. C 8. B
Speed of train = 36 kmph 120+240 / 30 =12
= 36 × (5 / 18) = 10 m / sec 12*18/5 = 43.2 = 43kmph
If the length of bridge be x metre, then 9. B
10 = (200 + x) / 55 [1000/(n-2)] [1000/(n-1)] = 5/3
200 + x = 550 n =26
x = 550 – 200 = 350 metre 10. C
2. D Distance P covers = 35*4 = 140
Speed = x After 3hrs= 4+3 = 7
Relative speed = (x+6)kmph Avg speed of Q = 140/7 = 20kmph
(x+6) = ( 250×18)/(30×5) 11. B
(x+6) = ( 4500)/(150) 2x/5 = 1200…………air
X+6 = 30 X = 3000km………….total distance
X = 30 – 6 = 24kmph 3000/3 = 1000km………train
3. B Train = 3000 – (1200+1000) = 800km(car)
Speed = (160×18)/(25×5) 12. B
= 2880/125 = 23.04 = 23kmph
4. B
Speed = x
Relative speed = (x-5)kmph
(x-5) = ( 350×18)/(35×5)
(x-5) = ( 6300)/(175)
X-5 = 36
X = 36 + 5 = 41kmph
5. C
Stopping time = (120 – 80 )/ 120 = 40/120 =1/3h 13. A
= 60/3 = 20 min
6. D
20x + 24x = 240
44x = 240
X = 240/44 = 5.45hrs
7. A
Speed = 120/6 = 20m/s 14. C
Time taken to cross the bridge = (120+240)/20
= 360/20
= 18s

He increases his speed in every 1 hr by 2km/hr.

Distance covered by every 1 hr will be 40,42,44….upto
12terms. i.e. (for 24hrs)
Sum of 1st n terms=n/2 ( (2a+(n-1)d.
12/2 * (2*40+11*2)==>12/2 * (80+22)==>612km
18. C
W+R = 4hrs 30min ie 9/2hrs
R+R=2hrs==>R=1hr
then 2W=9/2-1=7/2 , W=7/2*2=7hrs
19. D
Speed of the first train = [300/10] m/sec = 30 m/sec.
Speed of the second train = [300/15] m/sec =20 m/sec.
speed = (30 + 20) m/sec = 50m/sec.
Required time = (300+300)/50secc = 12 sec.
20. A
15. B Distance covered in 4/60 hours = (3 + 3/2) = 9/2 km
Distance covered in 1 hour = (9/2) x (60/4) = 67.5km/hr.
So, speed of the train = 67.5 km/hr
21. C
Relative speed = (60 – 40) km/hr = 20km/hr.
Length of the faster train = (20*54*5)/18 = 300m
22. C
The total distance covered by the truck in the first 5
hours = 40 + 42 + 44 + 46 + 48
sum of five terms in AP whose first term is 40 and last
term is 48 = 5/2 [40 + 48] = 220 km.
23. D
Time taken to meet for the first time = length of the track
/ relative speed = 700 / (45 + 25)
16. B = (700*18)/(70*5) = 36 sec.
Distance = diff in time *(S1*S2)/S1-S2 24. D
D=[10-4]/60hr * (45*60)/[60-45] = 6/60 * 45*60/15 Let the distance be x, then,
==>18km
time T=D/S(take any one of the speed. 18/45 =2/5hrs = (Time taken to walk x km) + (Time taken to ride x km) =
2/5*60=24min 37min.
then correct time is 24-10=14mins.
17. D ⇒ (Time taken to walk 2x km) + (Time taken to ride 2x
Speed of the rider: 40km/hr km) = 74 min.

(Easy Level Part-1)
Let the speed of the man in still water be x kmph.

But, time taken to walk 2x km = 55 min. Then, (x + 5) × 2 = (x – 5) × 7
or, 2x + 10 – 7x + 35 = 0
So, Time to ride 2x km = (74 - 55) min ⇒ 19 min. or, 5x = 45
25. C or, x = 9.
Average speed of whole journey = 30 km/hr 31. D
x = speed of first 40 km = 20 km/hr Speed of man downstream = 6 / 1.5 kmph = 4 kmph
2 × 20 × y Speed of man upstream = 6 / 2 = 3 kmph
=⇒ 30 =
20 + y or, Speed of man = 1 / 2 × (4 +3) kmph
60 = 3.5 kmph.
32. C
26. C Let the speed of the boat in still water be x kmph.
Speed of Vikcy in still water = x Then, (x + 4) ×6 = (x – 4) × 8
Downstream Speed = (x + 6) or, 6x + 24 = 8x – 32
Upstream Speed = (x – 6) or, x = 28 kmph.
Downstream Distance = Upstream Distance 33. C
14(x + 6) = 21(x – 6) Let us take the speed of the boat in still water be x km/hr,
2x + 12 = 3x – 18x=30 80/(x+6) = 1/2*(80/(x-6))
27. D 2x – 12 = x + 6
Let the speed of the stream be x kmph X = 18
Down stream = (12+x) Speed of the boat in still water = 18 km/hr
Up stream = (12−x) 34. B
suppose the distance traveled be y Downstream speed = 40/5 = 8 km/hr
y/(12+x) = 12 —(1) Upstream speed = 40/10 = 4 km/hr
y/(12−x)= 18 —-(2) So, speed of stream = 1/2*(8-4) = 4/2 = 2 km/hr
From eqn (1) and (2) 35. C
x= 2.4 kmph Let the speed of boat be s,
28. C According to the question,
32/15 = 48(1/s-3 – 1/s+3) 128/60 = 48/s-3 – 48/s+3
s= 12 128/60 = 48(1/s-3 – 1/s+3)
29. B 135 = s2 +3s -3s – 9
Speed of the stream = 3 kmph s2 = 144
Let the speed of Sharma be x kmph. s= 12
According to the question, 36 / (x – 3) = 4 The speed of boat in still water = 12 km/hr
x = 36/4 + 3 = 9 kmph 36. A
Distance travelled downstream in 6 hours Speed of downstream : Speed of upstream = 3 : 1(3x, x)
= 6 × (9 + 3) = 72 km. The ratio of speed of boat in still water and speed of

37. B 16 = D/9+6 + x/9-6
Let the speed of the stream be x km/hr. 43. B
Upward speed = (5 – x)km/hr. Downstream Speed = 18 kmph
Downward speed = (5 + x)km/hr Upstream Speed = 6 kmph
According to the question, Distance = x
= > 14/(5+x) + 9/(5-x) = 5 x/18 + x/6 = 1
=> (70 – 14x + 45 + 9x) / [(5+x) (5 –x)] = 5 18x + 6x = 108

=> x = 2 km/hr x2 – 2 = 0
Speed of stream = 2 km/hr x = 1.414kmph
38. A 45. C
x/(10-3) – x/(10+3) =12 32/15 = 48(1/s-3 – 1/s+3)

= > X= 182 km 8 =D(1/6 – 1/12)
39. A D =96
Downstream speed = 4/x kmph Total = 96+96 =192
upstream speed = 3/x kmph 47. D
48/(4/x) + 48/(3/x) = 14 Downstream=28/7=4km/hr
Solving we get x = 1/2 kmph Upstream=28/4=7km/hr
So, Speed of downstream = 8 kmph, Speed of upstream Speed of the boat u=(4+7) /2
= 6 kmph =11/2=5.5km/hr.
Stream Speed = 1/2(8 – 6) kmph = 1 kmph 48. C
40. D
(S-R)*42/5 = (S+R)*7
S:R = 11:1
41. D
Ramesh’s speed with the current = 20 kmph
