9. A and B walk on a circular path whose circumference is 35 km. They start walking from the same place in the same direction at the same time. Speed of A is 4 km/hr and speed of B is 5 km/hr. They will meet earliest again after.  

(a) 15 hours  

(b) 21 hours  

(c) 35 hours  

(d) 42 hours  

10. Four runners started running simultaneously from a point on a circular track. They took 200 sec, 300 sec, 360 sec and 450 sec to complete one round. After how much time to they meet at the starting point for the first time?  

(a) 1800 Seconds  

(b) 3600 Seconds  

(c) 2400 Seconds  

(d) 4800 Seconds  

Answers and solutions:

1. (b)
Let distance traveled by train be x km
so (285-x)/40 + x/55 = 6
=> x = 165 km

2. (b)
Total distance = 4*6 = 24 km
Total time = 6/25 + 6/50 + 6/75 + 6/150  = 72/150 hr.
so The average speed = total distance /total time = 24/(72/150) = (24*150)/72 = 50 km/hr.

3. (c)
4. (d)
If the time taken by cyclist to cirtain distance is t
then jogger covers half distance in 2t time
then jogger covers total distance in 4t time
then the ratio between their time = t:4t = 1:4
so The ratio between their speeds = 4:1

5. (c)
Distance = Product of speed/Difference of speeds * time difference
= (5*3)/2 * 24/60 = 3 km

6. (d)
7. (c)
The distance= Product of speed/Difference of speeds * time difference
= (30*24)/6 * 11/60 = 22 km

8. (b)
9. (c)
The time taken by A in 1 round = 35/4 hrs.
The time taken by B in 1 round = 35/5 hrs.
so L.C.M. of 35/4 and 35/5 = 35
they will meet earlist again after 35 hours.
