A and B take part in 100 m race. A runs at 5 kmph. A gives B a start of 8 m and still beats him by 8 seconds. The speed of B is
Answer & Explanation
Answer : Option B |
|
Explanation : |
|
Speed of A = 5 km/h = 5 $\times$ $5 \over 18$ = $25 \over 18$ m/s
Time taken by A to cover 100 m = $Distance \over Speed$ = $100 \over {25 \over 18}$ = 72 sec
It is given that, A gives B a start of 8 m and still beats him by 8 seconds
B takes (72 + 8) = 80 sec to cover (100 - 8) = 92m
Speed of B = $Distance \over Time$ = $92 \over 80$ m/s
= $92 \over 80$ $\times$ $18 \over 5$ = $23 \times 18 \over 100 $ = $414 \over 100 $ = 4.14 km/h |

In an examination, a student's average marks were 63. If he had obtained 20 more marks in Geography and 2 more marks in history, then his average would have been 65. How many subjects were there in the examination?
Answer & Explanation
Answer : Option B |
|
Explanation : |
|
Let the number of subjects = x
Then, total marks he scored for all subjects = 63x
If he had obtained 20 more marks for his Geography and 2 more marks for his history, his average would have been 65
Total marks he would have scored for all subjects = 65x
Now we can form the equation as 65x- 63x
= additional marks of the student
= 20 + 2 = 22
2x= 22
x = $22 \over 2$ = 11 |

A and B walking around a circular park at a speed of 2 rounds per hour and 3 rounds per hour respectively. If they start at 8 a.m. from the same point in opposite directions, then how many times shall they meet each other before 9.30 a.m.?
Answer & Explanation
Answer : Option C |
|
Explanation : |
|
Relative speed = Speed of A + Speed of B
(they walk in opposite directions)
= 2 + 3 = 5 rounds per hour
They cross each other 5 times in 1 hr and 2 times in $1^ 2$ hr
Time duration from 8 am to 9.30 am = 1.5 hour
Hence they cross each other 7 times before 9.30 am |
