A person generally reaches his office 0.50 hours late. One day, he increased his speed by 25% and arrived 15 minutes late. How much time does he need to complete his journey if he wants to reach his office on time?

Detailed Solution: Question 3

Speed → Initial : New = 100 : 125 = 4 : 5
Time → Initial : New = 5 : 4

= 75 minutes = 1.25 hours
So the answer = 1.25 – 0.50 = 0.75 hour
Hence, Option B is correct.

240S – 240S + 4800 = S2 – 20S
S2 – 20S – 4800 = 0
S2 – 80S + 60S – 4800 = 0
S = 80

Hence, Option C is correct.

Save

A and B start from Point X and Point Y respectively at 5 am. They start moving towards Y and X respectively. If A reaches Y at 9 am and B reaches X at 11 am, at what time do they meet?

Detailed Solution: Question 13

Time taken by A to cover the distance = 9 – 5 = 4 hours
Time taken by B to cover the distance = 11 – 5 = 6 hours
Time → A : B = 4 : 6 = 2 : 3
Speeds → A : B = 3 : 2
So A has to cover 3 distance out of “3 + 2 = 5” till their meeting
Time taken by A till their meeting

= 2 hours 24 minutes
So the answer = 5 + 2:24 = 7:24 am
Hence, Option A is correct.

MCQ: Speed, Time and Distance - 2 - Question 14

A leaves Point X for Point Y at 10 pm, and B leaves Point Y for Point X at 7 pm. The distance between X and Y is 729 km. Each of them can cover this distance in 8 hours. At what time do they meet on the way?

Detailed Solution: Question 14

If each of them can travel 1 unit distance in 1 hour,
Total distance = 8 units
Till 10 pm, B travels = (10 pm – 7 pm) = 3 hours = 3 units
Remaining distance = 8 – 3 = 5
After 10 pm, time taken by them till meeting

= 2 hours 30 minutes
So the answer = 10 pm + 2:30 = 12:30 am
Hence, Option B is correct.

MCQ: Speed, Time and Distance - 2 - Question 15
Save

A and B start from Point X to Point Y, and their speeds are in the ratio 3 : 8. B takes 2.50 hours less than the time taken by A to reach Y. If the difference between their speeds is 15 km/hr, what is the distance between X and Y?

Detailed Solution: Question 15

Speed → A : B = 3 : 8
Time → A : B = 8 : 3


So the answer = 9 × 4 = 36 km
Hence, Option D is correct.
