TIME AND DISTANCE




  1. Explanation :

    Aditya’s speed = 20 km/hr = {20 * 5/18} m/sec = 50/9 m/sec
    Time taken to cover 400 m= { 400 * 9/50 } sec =72 sec = 1 12/60 min= 1 1/5 min.






  1. Explanation :

    Speed = { 750/150} m/sec =5 m/sec = { 5 * 18/5 } km/hr =18km/hr






  1. Explanation :

    solution






  1. Explanation :

    Let the speed be x km/hr.
    Then, distance covered in 1 hr. 40 min. i.e., 1 2/3 hrs = 5x/3 km
    Remaining distance = { 24 – 5x/3 } km.
    5x /3 = 5/7 *{ 24 - 5x/3 }
    5x/3 = 5/7 { (72-5x) /3}
    7x =72 –5x
    12x = 72
    x=6
    Hence speed = 6 km/hr ={ 6 * 5/18 } m/sec = 5/3 m/sec






  1. Explanation :

    solution






  1. Explanation :

    Average speed = \(\frac { 2xy }{x+y}\) km/hr =\(\frac { 2*25*4 }{25+4}\) km/hr = \(\frac {200}{29}\) km/hr
    Distance traveled in 5 hours 48 minutes =\(\frac {200}{29}\) *\(\frac {29}{5}\)=40 km
    Distance of the post-office from the village ={ 40/2 } = 20 km






  1. Explanation :

    Let each side of the square be x km and let the average speed of the plane around the field by y km per hour then
    \(\frac {x}{200}\) + \(\frac {x}{400}\) + \(\frac {x}{600}\) + \(\frac {x}{800}\) =\(\frac {4x}{y}\)
    \(\frac {25x}{2500}\)=\(\frac {4x} {y}\)
    y=\(\frac {2400*4}{25}\)=384
    hence average speed =384 km/hr






  1. Explanation :

    New speed =5/6 of the usual speed New time taken=6/5 of the usual time
    So,( 6/5 of the usual time )-( usual time)=10 minutes.
    =>1/5 of the usual time=10 minutes.
    usual time=10 minutes






  1. Explanation :

    Let the required distance be x km
    Difference in the time taken at two speeds=1 min =1/2 hr
    Hence x/5-x/6=1/5<=>6x-5x=6
    x=6
    Hence, the required distance is 6 km






  1. Explanation :

    Suppose they meet x hours after 10 a.m. Then,
    [Distance moved by first in x hrs] + [Distance moved by second in (x-1)hrs]=390.
    65x + 35(x-1) = 390 => 100x = 425 => x = 17/4
    So, they meet 4 hrs.15 min. after 10 a.m i.e., at 2.15 p.m.






  1. Explanation :

    Let the speed of the goods train be x kmph.
    Distance covered by goods train in 10 hours= Distance covered by express train in 4 hours
    10x = 4 x 90 or x =36.
    So, speed of goods train = 36kmph






  1. Explanation :

    Relative speed of the policeman = (10-8) km/hr =2 km/hr.
    Time taken by police man to cover 100m=\(\frac {100}{1000}\) x \(\frac{1}{2}\) =\(\frac{ 1}{20}\) hr.
    In 1 hrs, the thief covers a distance of 8 x \(\frac {1}{20}\) km = \(\frac {2}{5}\) km = 400 m






  1. Explanation :

    Let the distance be x km. Then,
    ( Time taken to walk x km) + (time taken to ride x km) =37 min.
    ( Time taken to walk 2x km ) + ( time taken to ride 2x km )= 74 min.
    But, the time taken to walk 2x km = 55 min. Time taken to ride 2x km = (74-55)min =19 min.
