Q16. A man cycles with a speed of 10 km/h and reaches his office at 1 pm. However, when he cycles with a speed of 15 km/h, he reaches his office at 11 am At what speed should he cycle so that he reaches his office at 12 noon?
20 km
16 km
12 km
14 km
Solution:
Q17. Siddharth goes by a bike to pick up his girlfriend everyday from college and then drops her at her house. College timings are till 5 pm daily, but today the college was till 4 pm. His girlfriend, not finding Siddharth, at the college gate, starts walking towards her house. Siddharth, unaware of this fact, leaves his house as usual, meets his girlfriend on way, picks her up and drops her at her house. At night, Siddharth realize that he had saved 40 minutes that day. What is the ratio of the speed of Siddharth to that of his girlfriend? (Both of them live in the same building)
2:1
1:2
2:3
3:2
Solution:
Let us see the following schematic representation:
The usual route of Siddharth is home-college-home. His route today is-home-meeting point-home. And, in this way, 40 minutes are saved. So, he takes 20 minutes to cover the distance between the meeting point and the college. It can be concluded that he usually reaches college at 5 pm, but today he reached at 4: 40 pm (20 minutes are saved) and his girlfriend took 40 minutes. (she starts at 4 pm) to cover the distance between her college to the meeting point. The ratio of time of Siddharth and his girlfriend = 20: 40 = 1: 2
The ratio of the speed of Siddharth and his girlfriend = 2: 1
Q18. Distance between two points AB = 110 km. Manoj starts running from A at a speed of 60 km/h and Ravi starts running from B at a speed of 40 km/h at the same time. They meet at a point X, somewhere on the line AB. What is ratio of AX to BX?
3 : 2
1 : 2
4 : 3
6 : 1
Solution:
Since both Manoj and Ravi are running for the same time, T is constant. Hence, the ratio of the distance covered by them will be the same as the ratio of their speed.
So, AX/BX = Speed of Manoj /Speed of Ravi = 60/40 = 3: 2
Q19. The speed of the boat in still water is 6 km/h and the speed of the river is 1.2 km/h. Boat takes a total of 10 h to go to a place and come back. What is the total distance covered in the whole process?
52.3 km
48.4 km
55.6 km
57.6 km
Solution:
Upstream speed = 4.8 km/h
Downstream speed = 7.2 km/h
The ratio of downstream speed: upstream
Speed = 3: 2
Ratio of the downstream time: upstream time = 2: 3
The time taken in the downstream movement = 4 h and the time taken in the upstream movement = 6 h
So, the distance covered = 4×7.2+6×4.8=57.6 km
Hence, the total distance = 57.6 km
Q20. In a race of 100 m, A gives a start of 10 m to B. Despite this, A wins the race by 20 m. What is the ratio of the speed of A and B?
10 : 7
8 : 2
5 : 3
6 : 4
Solution:
Time taken by A to cover 70 m = Time taken by B to cover 100 m
Since the distance is constant, the ratio of speed of A and B = 10 : 7
