Check NowIf two objects A and B are moving with speeds $$S_a$$ and $$S_b$$km/h then the relative velocity between them
A.) When they are moving in same direction is $$(S_a-S_b)$$ km/hr
B.) When they are moving in opposite direction $$(S_a+S_b)$$ km/hr
Two trains A and B were moving in opposite directions, their speeds being in the ratio 5 : 3. The front end of A crossed the rear end of B 46 seconds after the front ends of the trains had crossed each other. It took another 69 seconds for the rear ends of the trains to cross each other. The ratio of length of train A to that of train B is
Considering the length of train A = La, length of train B = Lb.
The speed of train A be 5*x, speed of train B be 3*x.
From the information provided :
The front end of A crossed the rear end of B 46 seconds after the front ends of the trains had crossed each other.
In this case, train A traveled a distance equivalent to the length of train B which is Lb at a speed of 5*x+3*x = 8*x because both the trains are traveling in the opposite direction.
Hence (8*x)*(46) = Lb.
In the information provided :
It took another 69 seconds for the rear ends of the trains to cross each other.
In the next 69 seconds
The train B traveled a distance equivalent to the length of train A in this 69 seconds.
Hence (8*x)*(69) = La.
La/Lb = 69/46 = 3/2 = 3 : 2
Mira and Amal walk along a circular track, starting from the same point at the same time. If they walk in the same direction, then in 45 minutes, Amal completes exactly 3 more rounds than Mira. If they walk in opposite directions, then they meet for the first time exactly after 3 minutes. The number of rounds Mira walks in one hour is
Correct Answer: 8
Considering the distance travelled by Mira in one minute = M,
The distance traveled by Amal in one minute = A.
Given if they walk in the opposite direction it takes 3 minutes for both of them to meet. Hence 3*(A+M) = C. (1)
C is the circumference of the circle.
Similarly, it is mentioned that if both of them walk in the same direction Amal completes 3 more rounds than Mira :
Hence 45*(A-M) = 3C. (2)
Multiplying (1)*15 we have :
45A + 45M = 15C.
45A - 45M = 3C.
Adding the two we have A = $$\frac{18C}{90}$$
Subtracting the two M = $$\frac{12C}{90}$$
Since Mira travels $$\frac{12C}{90}$$ in one minute, in one hour she travels :$$\frac{12C}{90}\cdot60\ =\ 8C$$
Hence a total of 8 rounds.
Alternatively,
Let the length of track be L
and velocity of Mira be a and Amal be b
Now when they meet after 45 minutes Amal completes 3 more rounds than Mira
so we can say they met for the 3rd time moving in the same direction
so we can say they met for the first time after 15 minutes
So we know Time to meet = Relative distance /Relative velocity
so we get $$\frac{15}{60}=\frac{L}{a-b}$$ (1)
Now When they move in opposite direction
They meet after 3 minutes
so we get $$\frac{3}{60}=\frac{L}{a+b}$$ (2)
Dividing (1) and (2)
we get $$\frac{\left(a+b\right)}{\left(a-b\right)}=5$$
or 4a =6b
or a = 3b/2
Now substituting in (1)
we get :
$$\frac{L}{b}\times\ 2=\ \frac{15}{60}$$
so $$\frac{L}{b}\ =\frac{1}{8}$$
So we can say 1 round is covered in $$\frac{1}{8}$$ hours
so in 1-hour total rounds covered = 8.
Two ships are approaching a port along straight routes at constant speeds. Initially, the two ships and the port formed an equilateral triangle with sides of length 24 km. When the slower ship travelled 8 km, the triangle formed by the new positions of the two ships and the port became right-angled. When the faster ship reaches the port, the distance, in km, between the other ship and the port will be
Let S be the slower ship and F be the faster ship.
It is given that when S travelled 8 km, the positions of ships with the port is forming a right triangle.
Since one of the angles is 60(since one vertex is still part of the equilateral triangle),
the other two vertexes will have angles of 30 and 90.
The distance between O and S = 24 - 8 = 16
In triangle OFS, $$\cos60^0\ =\ \frac{OF}{OS}$$
Thus, OF = 8.
Thus in the time, S covered 8 km, F will cover 24 - 8 = 16 km.
Thus, the ratio of their speeds is 2:1,
Thus, when F covers 24 km, S will cover 12 km.
The correct option is B.
Ravi is driving at a speed of 40 km/h on a road. Vijay is 54 meters behind Ravi and driving in the same direction as Ravi. Ashok is driving along the same road from the opposite direction at a speed of 50 km/h and is 225 meters away from Ravi. The speed, in km/h, at which Vijay should drive so that all the three cross each other at the same time, is
It is given that the speed of Ravi is 40 kmph, which is equal to $$\frac{100}{9}$$ m/s. It is also known that the speed of Ashok is 50 kmph, which is equal to $$\frac{125}{9}$$ m/s.
It is known that the distance between Ravi and Ashok is 225 meters, and the relative speed of Ravi and Ashok is $$\frac{125}{9}+\frac{100}{9}=25$$ m/s
Hence, they will meet each other in $$\frac{225}{25}=9$$ seconds. The distance traveled by Ravi in these 9 seconds is $$\frac{100}{9}\times\ 9=100$$ meters.
Since Vijay was already 54 meters behind Ravi when they were starting, Vijay must travel (100+54) = 154 meters in these 9 seconds.
Hence, the speed of Vijay is $$\frac{154}{9}$$ m/s, which is equal to $$\frac{154}{9}\times\ \frac{18}{5}\ =\frac{308}{5}=61.6$$ kmph.
The correct option is C
