Answers & Solutions:

1) Answer (D)

All the three friends will meet at the starting point again after X seconds, such that X is the LCM of the times taken by J, K and L to complete one round.

=> LCM of 12, 18 and 20 = 180 seconds = 3 minutes.

Hence 3 minutes is the answer.

2) Answer (E)

Let the speed of boat in still water be v and the speed of water be x.

Boat speed while going upstream = v-x = 28

Boat speed while going downstream = v+x = 32

=> 2v = 60 => v = 30

Hence, none of these is the correct answer.

3) Answer (D)

Part of tank emptied in 1 hour by the
leak

$\frac{1}{2}$ – $\frac{2}{7}$ = $\frac{1}{14}$

The leak will empty the tank in 14 hours.

4) Answer (A)

Suppose the required distance be d km/h

Then, d/4-d/5=15min=1/4 h ⇒d 1/20=1/4⇒d=5km

5) Answer (D)

Speed downstream = (15 + 3) kmph = 18 kmph.

Distance traveled =(18×12/60)km = 3.6 km.

6) Answer (D)

Time taken to cover 375 km = (375/75)h = 5h

Number of stoppages = 375/125-1 = 2

Total time to stoppages = (5 × 2 ) min = 10 min

Hence, total time taken = 5 h 10 min

7) Answer (C)

With the current => downstream
Against the current => upstream
Let the speed of the boat be ‘s’ and the speed of the river be ‘r’.
So, s – r = 5 and s + r = 15
=>2s = 20 => s = 10 and r = 5 kmph
Speed of the current = 5 kmph

8) Answer (B)

Let the speed of the train be x kmph.
Speed of the man = 10 kmph
Relative speed = (x+10) kmph
$(x+10)\times\dfrac{4}{60\times60} = \dfrac{400}{1000}$

$(x+10) = 360$
$x=  350$
Hence, Speed of the train = 350 kmph.

9) Answer (C)

Let x be the speed of bike and y be the speed of bus.

y=8x

Also, bike covers 186 kilometers of distance in 3 hours

Therefore, x = 186/3 = 62km/hr

Now, y = 8x = 496km/hr

Distance covered by bus in 10 hours with this speed = 4960 km/hr

10) Answer (C)

Speed of train = x

Relative speed = x + 9(5/18) = x + 2.5

Speed = 210/6 = 35m/s

x + 2.5 = 35 => x = 32.5 m/s = 32.5 * (18/5) = 6.5 * 18 = 117 kmph

11) Answer (E)

We know the formula of speed which is Speed = Distance/Time

Speed of a truck = 640/10 = 64

Speed of a car = 640/8 = 80

Ratio of speed of truck and car = 64:80 = 4:5

12) Answer (B)

Number of days in 4 weeks = 4*7 = 28

Since Faisal walks 325 m every day

Distance walked in 28 days = 325*28 = 9100m

9100m = 9.1km

13) Answer (C)

Length of the train = 280m

Length of the platform = (280*3)m

Since the train passes the platform completely

Total disttance travelled by train = 280+(3*280) = 4*280

Time take = 6min 40s = 360+40 = 400s

Speed = 4*280/400 = 2.8 m/s

14) Answer (A)

Least common multipke of 36,27 and 9 is 108.
Hence Harish, Dilip and Asha will meet at 108 second i.e 1 minute and 48 seconds.
Therefore, the correct option is option A.
15) Answer (B)

Perimeter of square field = 784 ft.

Radius of circular field = Side of square field = $\frac{784}{4}$ = 196 ft.

Area of circular field = $\pi r^2 = \frac{22}{7}\times196\times196 = 120736$ sq ft

16) Answer (D)

LCM of 12, 18 and 20 = 180

Hence, they’ll meet again after 180 seconds => 3 minutes.

17) Answer (E)

Let the speed of boat be b and that of water be w.

Hence, b+w = 32

and b-w = 28

Adding both eqns together, 2b = 60

b=30km/hr

18) Answer (A)

Length of platform = 200*2 = 400
The actual distance covered by train in 36 seconds = Length of platform + Length of train = 400+200= 600
Speed of the train = 600/36 = 16.67m/s = 60km/hr
Hence, ther correct option is A.
19) Answer (A)

For ease, we represent this in diagrammatic form.

Now distance of Ajay from starting point = 2+5+1 = 8 metres.
Hence, option A is correct.
20) Answer (B)

Speed of the truck = 360/8 = 45 km/hr
Now,
Speed of the car = 360/6 = 60km/hr
Ratio of speed of truck and car = 45/60 = 3:4
Therefore, option B is correct.
