Save

A thief is spotted by a policeman from a distance of 300 meters. When the policeman starts chasing him, the thief also starts running. Given the speed of the thief is 6 km/hr and that of the policeman is 8 km/hr, how far would the thief have run before he is caught by the policeman?

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Speed, Time and Distance - 3 - Question 1

Speed → Policeman : Thief = 8 : 6 = 4 : 3
Distance in the same time → Policeman : Thief = 4 : 3

Hence, option C is correct.

If a girl walks from her house to school at the rate of 3 km per hour, she reaches the school 30 mins late than the scheduled time. However, if she walks at the rate of 5 km per hour, she reaches 30 mins earlier than the scheduled time. Find the distance of her school from her house.

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Speed, Time and Distance - 3 - Question 2

Speed → Initial : New = 3 : 5
Time → Initial : New = 5 : 3

= 150 minutes = 2.50 hours
So the answer = 3 × 2.50 = 7.50 km
Hence, option D is correct.

Manoj runs at a speed of 3 m/s. In a 1500–meter race, Manoj gives Rahul a head start of 75 meters and still beats him by 75 meters. What is the speed at which Rahul was running?

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Speed, Time and Distance - 3 - Question 3

Distance in same time → Rahul : Manoj = (1500 – 75 – 75) : 1500 = 9 : 10
Speed → Rahul : Manoj = 9 : 10

Hence, option B is correct.

MCQ: Speed, Time and Distance - 3 - Question 4

Samir and Mahesh start from Point Z and Point W respectively at 5:00 am. They start moving towards W and Z respectively. If Samir reaches W at 8:00 am and Mahesh reaches Z at 10:00 am, at what time do they meet?
Detailed Solution for MCQ: Speed, Time and Distance - 3 - Question 4

Time → Samir : Mahesh = 3 hours : 5 hours = 3 : 5
Speed → Sanjay : Sagar = 5 : 3
Let the distance = 5 × 3 = 15 units

= 1 hours 52 minutes 30 seconds
So the answer = 5 am + 1 hours 52 minutes 30 seconds = 6:52:30 am
Hence, option D is correct.

MCQ: Speed, Time and Distance - 3 - Question 5

A person can cover 400 km by bus and 300 km by car in a total of 25 hours, where the ratio of the speed of bus to that of car is 2 : 1. If the speeds of the bus and the car increase by 25% and 50% respectively, what will be the time (in hours) taken to complete the same journey?
Detailed Solution for MCQ: Speed, Time and Distance - 3 - Question 5

Let the speed of the bus = 2x km/hr
Speed of the car = x km/hr


x = 20
Speed of bus = 2x = 2 × 20 = 40 km/hr

Speed of car = x = 20 km/hr


Hence, option D is correct.

In a 2 km race, A, B and C, are running at uniform speeds. If A beats B by 200 meters and B beats C by 600 meters, then by how many meters does A beat C?
Detailed Solution for MCQ: Speed, Time and Distance - 3 - Question 6

Speed → A : B = 2000 : (2000 – 200) = 10 : 9
Speed → B : C = 2000 : (2000 – 600) = 10 : 7
Speed → A : C = 10 × 10 : 9 × 7 = 100 : 63

Hence, option D is correct.

Anshul starts from point P and moves towards point Q at a speed of (b + 10) km/hour. Nidhi starts from point Q and moves towards point P at a speed of (b – 10) km/hour. If Nidhi starts moving 3 hours before Anshul and they meet at the mid–point of P and Q, find the time taken by Anshul to go from point P to point Q, if the distance between points P and Q is 720 km.
Detailed Solution for MCQ: Speed, Time and Distance - 3 - Question 12


Let the time taken by Anshul = x hours
Time taken by Nidhi = x + 3 hours
(b + 10) × x = 360 ––––(1)
(b – 10) × (x + 3) = 360 ––––(2)
(b + 10) × x = (b – 10) × (x + 3)
bx + 10x = bx + 3b – 10x – 30
20x = 3b – 30

On applying in Eq1

(b + 10) × (b – 10) = 2400
b2 – 102 = 2400
b = 50
Speed of Anshul = b + 10 = 50 + 10 = 60 km/hr

Hence, option D is corect.

Sanjay leaves place C at 5 am and reaches place D at 9 pm on the same day. Sagar leaves from place D at 7 am and reaches place C at 7 pm on the same day. At what time do they meet?
Detailed Solution for MCQ: Speed, Time and Distance - 3 - Question 13

Time → Sanjay : Sagar = 16 hours : 12 hours = 4 : 3
Speed → Sanjay : Sagar = 3 : 4
Let the distance → 16 × 3 = 48 units
Distance covered by Sanjay till 7 am = 3 × 2 = 6 units
Remaining distance = 48 – 6 = 42 units
Reqd. time to cover 42 units

So the answer = 7 am + 6 hours = 1 pm
Hence, option A is correct.

A beats B by 100 m in a 1000 m race, C beats D by 80 m in a 1280 m race. If B beats C by 240 m in a 1200 m race, by how much distance (in meters) A will beat D in a 2000 m race?
Detailed Solution for MCQ: Speed, Time and Distance - 3 - Question 14

Speed → A : B = 1000 : (1000 – 100) = 10 : 9
Speed → C : D = 1280 : (1280 – 80) = 16 : 15
Speed → B : C = 1200 : (1200 – 240) = 5 : 4
Speed → A : C = 10 × 5 : 9 × 4 = 25 : 18
Speed → A : D = 25 × 16 : 15 × 18 = 40 : 27

Hence, option D is correct.

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Speed, Time and Distance - 3 - Question 15

A beats B and C by 300 meters and 900 meters respectively.
In the time B covers the last 300 meters C covers 900 – 750 = 150 meters
