Answers & Solutions:

1) Answer (C)

Length of the train is 260 metres

Length of the wall is 120 metres

total is 260+120 = 380 metres

Time taken is 19 seconds.

Hence, the speed is 380/19 = 20 m/s = 72 Km/hr

Answer is option C

2) Answer (C)

Speed of train = 120 kmph

= $(120 \times \frac{5}{18})$ m/s = $\frac{100}{3}$ m/s

Let length of the train = $l$ meters

Using, speed = distance/time

=> $\frac{100}{3} = \frac{l}{15}$

=> $l=\frac{100}{3} \times 15$

=> $l=100 \times 5=500$ meters

=> Ans – (C)

3) Answer (C)

Let speed of current = $x$ km/hr

=> Speed of boat in still water = $8x$ km/hr

Acc. to ques, => $\frac{63}{9x} + \frac{63}{7x} = 8$

=> $\frac{7}{x} + \frac{9}{x} = 8$

=> $\frac{16}{x} = 8$

=> $x = \frac{16}{8} = 2$

$\therefore$ Speed of boat in still water = $8 \times 2 = 16$ km/hr

4) Answer (C)

Priti’s second day typing speed = $\frac{115}{100} \times 60$ = 69 wpm

Required difference in time

= $(\frac{5000}{60} – \frac{5000}{69})$

= $5000(\frac{69 – 60}{60 \times 69})$

$\approx$ 10 minutes

5) Answer (A)

Speed of current = $\frac{1}{2}$ (downstream – upstream)

= $\frac{1}{2} (9 – 6)$

= $\frac{3}{2} = 1.5$ kmph

6) Answer (C)

Speed of train = 108 kmph

= $108 \times \frac{5}{18}$ = 30 m/s

Let the length of the train = $l$ metre

=> $\frac{l + 365}{21} = 30$

=> $l + 365 = 21 \times 30 = 630$

=> $l = 630 – 365 = 265$ metre

7) Answer (E)

Shaurya’s speed = $\frac{18}{1}$ = 18 kmph

=> Speed of Pratyusha = $18 \times \frac{7}{3}$

= 42 kmph

8) Answer (D)

$speed = \frac{distance}{time}$

=> Upstream speed = $\frac{\frac{3}{4}}{\frac{45}{4} \times \frac{1}{60}}$

= $\frac{3 \times 60}{45} = 4$ km/h

Downstream speed = $\frac{\frac{3}{4}}{\frac{15}{2} \times \frac{1}{60}}$

= $\frac{3 \times 2 \times 60}{15 \times 4} = 6$ km/h

$\therefore$ Speed of man in still water = $\frac{1}{2}$ (downstream + upstream)

= $\frac{1}{2} (6 + 4)$

= $\frac{10}{2} = 5$ km/h

9) Answer (B)

Pages printed by P, Q and R in one minute

= $\frac{1}{8} + \frac{1}{18} + \frac{1}{24}$

= $\frac{9 + 4 + 3}{72} = \frac{16}{72}$

= $\frac{2}{9}$

Number of pages to be printed = 368

$\therefore$ Time taken = $\frac{9}{2} \times 368$

= $1656$ minutes

= $\frac{1656}{60} = 27.6$ hours

10) Answer (D)

Since the speed of train is not mentioned So we cannot determine the distance covered by train in 25 seconds and hence we cannot determine the length of the train.
