(3) 12 km.


    Explanation :

    Let the distance be x km.
    \( \frac{x}{10}\)-\( \frac{x}{12}\)=\( \frac{12}{60}\)
    x=\( \frac{1}{5}\)*60
    = 12 km.





Ans .

(1) 60 km


    Explanation :

    Let the distance between stations be x km, then speed of train
    =\( \frac{x}{\frac{45}{60}}\)=\( \frac{4x}{3}\)
    \( \frac{3x}{4x-15}\)=\( \frac{4}{5}\)
    16x – 60 = 15x
    x = 60 km





Ans .

(1) 13.33 minutes


    Explanation :

    Speed of train =\( \frac{Distance}{Time}\)=\( \frac{10}{\frac{12}{60}}\)
    = 50 kmph
    New speed = 45 kmph
    Required time =\( \frac{10}{45}\)
    \( \frac{2}{9}\)*60 minutes
    =\( \frac{40}{3}\)=13.33 minutes.

    Explanation :

    Let the distance of school be x km,
    then \( \frac{x}{3}\)-\( \frac{x}{4}\)=\( \frac{20}{60}\)
    \( \frac{x}{12}\)=\( \frac{1}{3}\)
    x= 4 km





Ans .

(3) 20 minutes


    Explanation :

    Distance between stations X and
    Y = Speed × Time
    = 55 × 4 = 220 km.
    New speed = 55 + 5 = 60 kmph
    Required time =\( \frac{220}{60}\)=\( \frac{11}{3}\)
    = 3 hours 40 minutes.
    Required answer
    = 4 hours – 3 hours 40 minutes
    = 20 minutes





Ans .

(3) 1 hour


    Explanation :

    Distance of journey = x km
    Difference of time = 12 – 3 = 9 minutes
    \( \frac{9}{60}\) hr=\( \frac{3}{20}\)hr
    \( \frac{x}{70}\)-\( \frac{x}{80}\)=\( \frac{3}{20}\)
    \( \frac{x}{56}\)=\( \frac{3}{2}\)
    x=84 km

    =72 – 12 = 60 minutes
    = 1 hour



TYPE-10



Ans .

(4) 45 km/hr


    Explanation :

    Let the length of train be x me- tres
    \ According to question
    Speed of the train =\( \frac{x}{10}\)m / sec
    Also, the speed of the train \( \frac{x+50}{14}\)m / sec. It passes the platform in 14 seconds]
    Both the speeds should be equal, i.e.,
    \( \frac{x}{10}\)=\( \frac{x+50}{14}\)
    or 14x = 10x + 500
    or 14x – 10x = 500
    or 4x = 500
    \ x = 125 metres
    Hence, Speed =\( \frac{125}{10}\)= 12 . 5 m / sec
    \( \frac{12.5*18}{5}\)km / hr .
    = 45 km/hr.

    Explanation :

    Let the length of train be x me- tres.
    Then, speed of train when it passes a telegraph post = \( \frac{x}{8}\)m/sec and speed of train, when it passes the bridge =\( \frac{x+264}{20}\)
    Clearly,
    \( \frac{x}{8}\)=\( \frac{x+264}{20}\)
    5x = 2x + 528
    3x = 528
    x=176 m

    Obviously,\( \frac{x+84}{21}\)=\( \frac{x}{9}\)
    21x – 9x = 9 × 84
    12x = 9 × 84
    x=63 m
