Q:

A boat running upstream takes 8 hours 48 minutes to cover a certain distance, while it takes 4 hours to cover the same distance running downstream. What is the ratio between the speed of the boat and speed of the water current respectively?

A) 7:4 B) 11:4
C) 4:7 D) 8:3
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 8:3

Explanation:

Let the speed of the boat upstream be p kmph and that of downstream be q kmph

 

Time for upstream = 8 hrs 48 min = 845hrs

 

Time for downstream = 4 hrs

 

Distance in both the cases is same.

 

=> p x  845= q x 4

 

=> 44p/5 = 4q

 

=> q = 11p/5

 

 Now, the required ratio of Speed of boat : Speed of water current

 

q+p2:q-p2

 

=> (11p/5 + p)/2  : (11p/5 - p)/2

 

=> 8 : 3

Q:

Two trains running in opposite directions cross a man standing on the platform in 27 seconds and 17 seconds respectively and they cross each other in 23 seconds. The ratio of their speeds is  ?

A) 1 : 2 B) 3 : 1
C) 4 : 7 D) 3 : 2
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 3 : 2

Explanation:

Let the speeds of the two trains be x m/sec and y m/sec respectively.

Then, length of the first train = 27 x meters, and

length of the second train = 17 y meters.

(27 x + 17 y) / (x + y) = 23

=> 27 x + 17 y = 23 x + 23 y

=> 4 x = 6 y

=> x/y = 3/2.

Q:

A trader marked the price of the T.V. 30% above the cost price of the T.V. and gave the purchaser 10% discount on the marked price, thereby gaining Rs.340. Find the cost price of the T.V ?

A) Rs. 2000 B) Rs. 1600
C) Rs. 2200 D) Rs. 2100
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Rs. 2000

Explanation:

Let 'x' be the cost price.
Now Marked price = x + 30x/100 = 13x/10
10% discount = 10/100 x 13x/10 = 13x/100
Selling price = 13x/10 - 13x/100 = 117x/100
Given gain = 340
Here gain = 117x/100 - x = 17x/100 = 340 => x = Rs. 2000.

Q:

Arjun and Bhishma are running on a circular track of length 600m. Speed of Arjun is 30 m/s and that of Bhishma is 20 m/s .They start fro the same point at the same time in the same direction. When will they meet again for the first time?

Answer

SolTime = Circumference Relative Speed = 60010 = 60 sec.


 


Actually Arjun has to make a lead of 600 m, because when Arjun will be 600m ahead of Bhishma, they will be together again as a person when completes the total length it starts retracing he same path and thus Arjun and Bhishma can be together again.


 


Since , they make  a difference of 10 m in 1 second. so, he will create 600m difference in 60 second.
