This question was previously askedin Based Paper View all AFCATPapers> 1. 30 km/hr 2. 41 km/hr 3. 50.km/hr X 4. 70 km/hr Answer (Detailed Solution Below) Option 2: 41 km/hrCrack CDS + AFCAT with Se tee cag Detailed Solution Two bullets are fired at an interval of 15 minutes. Speed of sound = 330 m/s Formula Speed of bus x Time after which bullet sound heard = Speed of sound x Difference in time of bullet fired and the sound heard Calculation 14.5min = 870 sec Speed of bus x 870= 330 x 30 = Speed of bus = (330 x 30)/870 m/s = Speed of bus = (330 x 30)/870 x (18/5) = V/hr Detailed Method 15min = 15x 60= 900 14.5min = 870 sec Total distance covered by the sound of 1st bullet - Total distance covered by the sound of 2nd bullet = Total distance covered by bus = (330 x 900)- (330- 870)= Speed of bus x 870 = 330 x (900- 870) = Speed of bus x 870 = 330 x 30 = Speed of bus x 870 = Speed of bus = (330 x 30)/870 m/s = Speed of bus = (330 x 30)/870 x (18/5)= 40.96 = 41 km/hr »* Important Points The distance covered by bus in 14.5 minutes issameasthe distancecovered by the bullet in (15- 14.5) minutes i.e. 30 seconds
