5. Question
A car starts running with the initial speed of 40 kmph, with its speed increasing every hour by 5 kmph. How many hour will it take to cover a distance of 385 km?
Hint
Let the car take n hr. to cover 385 km. Using the formula for sun of n terms of an A.P., we get
⇒
⇒ 80n + 5n² – 5n = 770
⇒ 5n² + 75n – 770 = 0
∴ n = 7 h

Two men undertake to drive a distance of 54 km. The first performs the journey at 8 km/h. The second, starting half an hour later, arrives 15 minutes sooner. Find the ratio of their speeds.
Hint
Time taken by first man
∴ Time taken by second man
= 6 h∴ speed of second man
Hence, ratio of their speeds = 8 : 9

8. Question
Two cars A and B are running towards each other from different places 88 km apart. If the ratio of the speeds of the cars A and B is 5 : 6 and the speed of the car B is 90 km per hour then after how long will the two meet each other?
Hint
Speed of the car
∴ Required time
=
minutes - Question 9 of 25
9. Question
A car travels a distance of 45 kms at the speed of 15 kmph. It covers the next 50 kms of its journey at the speed of 25 kmph and the last 25 kms of its journey at the speed of 10 kmph. What is the average speed of the car?
Hint
Time taken to cover a distance of 45 kms
= ⁴⁵⁄₁₅ = 3 hour
Time taken to cover a distance of 50 kms
= ⁵⁰⁄₂₅ = 2 hour
Time taken to cover distance of 25 kms
= ²⁵⁄₁₀ = 2.5 hour
Total distance
= (45 + 50 + 25) kms = 120 kms
Total time = (3 + 2 + 2.5) hour = 7.5 hour
∴ Required average speed
=
= 16 kmph - Question 10 of 25
10. Question
A car covers a distance of 540 km in 9 hours Speed of a train is double the speed of the car. Two-third the speed of the train is equal to the speed of a bike. How much distance will the bike cover in 5 hours?
Hint
Speed of car
= ⁵⁴⁰⁄₉ = 60 kms/hr.
Speed of bike
= 60 × 2 × ⅔ = 80 kms/hr.
Distance covered by bike
= 80 × 5 = 400 kms.

= ⁴⁸⁰⁄₁₂ = 40 km/hr
Speed of train
=
= 72 km/hrSpeed of car
=
= 52 km/hrDistance covered by car
= 52 × 5 = 260 km
- Question 12 of 25
12. Question
A bike covers certain distance at the speed of 64 km/hr in 8 hours If the bike was to cover the same distance in approximately 6 hours, at what approximate speed should the bike travel?
Hint
Distance = 64 × 8 = 512 km
∴ Speed = ⁵¹²⁄₆
= 85 km/hr (approx.)
- Question 13 of 25
13. Question
A motor starts with the speed of 70 kmph with its speed increasing every two hours by 10 kmph. In how many hours will it cover 345 kms?
Hint
Distance covered in first two hour
= 70 × 2 = 140 km
Distance covered in next two hour
= 80 × 2 = 160 km
Distance covered in first four hour
140 + 160 = 300 km
Remaining distance
= 345 – 300 = 45 km.
Now, this distance will be covered at the speed of 90 km/hr.
∴ Time taken
=
Total time
= 4 + ½ = 4½ hour

- Question 18 of 25
18. Question
In a 800 m race around a stadium having the circumference of 200 m, the top runner meets the last runner on the 5th minute of the race. If the top runner runs at twice the speed of the last runner, what is the time taken by the top runner to finish the race?
Hint
After 5 minutes (before meeting), the top runner covers 2 rounds
i.e., 400 m and the last runner covers 1 round
i.e., 200 m.
∴ Top runner covers 800 m race in 10 minutes.

19. Question
R and S start walking each other at 10 AM at the speeds of 3 km/h and 4 km/h respectively. They were initially 17.5 km apart. At what time do they meet?
Hint
Let after t hour they meet then,
3t + 4t = 17.5
⇒ t = 2.5
∴ Time = 10 am + 2.5 h = 12 : 30 pm

- Question 22 of 25
22. Question
A car travels 25 km an hour faster than a bus for a journey of 500 km. If the bus takes 10 hours more than the car, then the speeds of the bus and the car are respectively:
Hint
Let the speed of the bus be x km/h.
then speed of the car
= (x + 25) km/h
∴
⇒ x² + 25x – 1250 = 0
⇒ x = 25
Thus speed of the bus = 25 km/h.
Speed of the car = 50 km/h
Alternative:
Difference in speeds 25 km / hr is in only option (c).

- Question 25 of 25
25. Question
A car covers 420 km with a constant speed. If its speed were 10 km/h more it would have taken one hour less to cover the distance. Find the speed of the car.
Hint
Let the speed of car = S km /h.
Also, let previous time = t hr. Then,
420 = St … (i)
Also , 420 = (S + 10) (t – 1)
⇒ S² + 10 s – 4200 = 0
⇒ ( S + 70) (S – 60) = 0
⇒ S = 60 km/h
