Answers & Solutions:
1) Answer (C)
The frog jumps back and forth
2) Answer (D)
3) Answer (C)
4) Answer (D)
let the speeds be 2x and 5x.
As both the trains are moving towards each other their relative velocity will be 2x+5x=7x
Therefore 280/7x =4/3
x=120/4
x=30 km/hr
dIfference=5x-2x
=3x
=90 km/hr
5) Answer (C)
let the speeds be x and 2x.
As both the trains are moving towards each other their relative velocity will be x+2x=3x
Therefore 200/3x =8/3
x=200/8
x=25 km/hr
dIfference=2x-x
=x
=25 km/hr
6) Answer (A)
Speed of second train = $\frac{800}{5}=160$ km/hr
Ratio of speeds of first train to second train = 3 : 4
=> Speed of first train = $\frac{3}{4}\times160=120$ km/hr
=> Ans – (A)
7) Answer (C)
As both are travelling in opposite directions relative velocity=62+82=144 km/hr
144*5/18 =40 m/s
Total distance=155+95
=240 m
Time taken=240/40
=6 sec
8) Answer (C)
Let the distance between A and B be ‘d’
speed of Q be q
‘t’ be the time taken for them to meet
d/(90+q) =t
d/(t+10)=q
d/(t+(5/2))=90
d=90t+225
d=90t+qt
d=qt+10q
qt=225
q=9t
$t^{2}$=25
t=5 hours
q=9*5=45 km/hr
9) Answer (B)
Time taken by train-1 to cross the man = 25 seconds
Time taken by train-2 to cross the man = 32 seconds
Time taken by trains to cross each other = 30 seconds
Hence, Ratio of their speeds = 2 : 5.
10) Answer (B)
11) Answer (C)
Let the speeds of the trains be 2x kmph and 5x kmph
Given that the speed of the faster train = 120 kmph
5x = 120
⇒ x = 24
Difference between their speeds = 5x – 2x = 3x = 3*24 = 72 kmph.
12) Answer (C)
Speed of the faster train = 800/4 = 200 km/hr
Faster train: 4 → 200 km/hr
1 → 50 km/hr
Slower train: 3 → 150 km/hr
Hence, The speed of the slower train = 150 km/hr
13) Answer (A)
14) Answer (B)
Relative speed $= 48-30 = 18 km/hr = 18\times\dfrac{5}{18} = 5 m/sec$
Faster train crosses a man in slower train in 22 seconds.
Length of the faster train = 5*22 = 110 m
15) Answer (C)
Speed of A, $a = \dfrac{900}{9} = 100$ km/hr
Speed of B, $b = \dfrac{4}{5} \times 100 = 80$ km/hr
On day 1, distance travelled by A before B starts = $2 \times 100 = 200$ kms.
When B starts moving, the relative speed between A and B, $r = 100+80 = 180$ km/hr
When B starts moving, the distance between A and B = 900 – 200 = 700 kms.
Thus, time taken for the 2 trains to meet = $\dfrac{700}{180} = \dfrac{35}{9}$ hours.
Location of point P = $\dfrac{35}{9} \times 80$ from Y = $\dfrac{2800}{9} $ kms from Y
On day 2, distance travelled by B before A starts = $2 \times 80 = 160$ kms.
When B starts moving, the relative speed between A and B, $r = 100+80 = 180$ km/hr
When B starts moving, the distance between A and B = 900 – 160 = 740 kms.
Thus, time taken for the 2 trains to meet = $\dfrac{740}{180} = \dfrac{37}{9}$ hours.
Location of point Q = $\dfrac{37}{9} \times 100$ from Y = $\dfrac{3700}{9} $ kms from Y
Therefore, distance between P and Q = $\dfrac{3700}{9} – \dfrac{2800}{9} = 100$ kms.
