Directions: In the following question, two statements are numbered as Quantity I and Quantity II. On solving these statements, we get quantities I and II respectively. Solve both quantities and choose the correct option.Quantity I: A goods train can cross a station master standing on a platform in 42 seconds whereas it can cross the platform in 18 seconds less than two minutes. Find the length of the platform if the train is 420m long.Quantity II: In 30 seconds a train crosses a tree at a speed of 30 m/s. If it crosses the guard of another train moving in the same direction in 20 s more than a minute,  find the length of the second train.1. Quantity I < Quantity II2. Quantity I > Quantity II3. Quantity I ≥ Quantity II4. Quantity I ≤ Quantity II5. Quantity I = Quantity II or relation cannot be established.

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : Quantity I < Quantity II

Given: 

Quantity I:

Time train takes to cross the station master = 42 s

Time train takes to cross the platform = 120 – 18 = 102 s

Length of train = 420 m

Length of the platform = L

Quantity II:

Time taken by train to cross a tree = 30 s

The speed at which train cross the tree, S1 = 30 m/s

Time taken by train to cross the guard of second train = 80 s

Concept used:

Speed = distance/time

Speed by which train crosses the station master = speed of the train

Length of the first train, L1 = time taken by it to cross the tree × speed at which it crosses the tree.

As the train crosses the guard of second train, time taken = (sum of length of two trains)/speed of first train

Calculation:

Quantity I:

Speed of train, S = length of train/time taken

⇒ S = 420/42  

⇒ S = 10     

Time taken by train to cross the platform = distance/speed

⇒ Time = (L + 420)/S

⇒ 102 = (L + 420)/10     

⇒ 102 × 10 = L +420

⇒ L = 1020 – 420

⇒ L = 600 m

Quantity I = 600 m

Quantity II:

L1 = 30 × 30 m

⇒ L1 = 900 m

Length of second train = L2

Time taken by first train to cross the guard of second train = 80 s

⇒ 80 = (L1 + L2)/S1

⇒ 80 = (900 + L2)/20

⇒ 1600 = 900 + L2

⇒ L2 = 700 m

Quantity II = 700 m

Quantity I

Relation

Quantity II

600 m

700 m

 

∴ From the table, we can see that , Quantity I < Quantity II.

A thief is spotted by the police at a distance of 500m. On seeing the police, the thief takes off on a motor cycle at a speed of 30 m/s.  If the thief is caught in 1 min 40 seconds, find the speed of the police.1. 43 km/hr2. 59 km/hr3. 78 km/hr4. 118 km/hr5. 126 km/hr

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 5 : 126 km/hr

Given:

Distance at which the thief is spotted = 500 m

Speed of thief = 30 m/s

Time taken by the police to catch the thief = 1 min 40 seconds = 100 s

Concept used:

Time taken for the police to catch the thief = distance/(relative speed)

Relative speed = SP – ST, when both are going in same direction.

Calculation:

Time taken for the police to catch the thief = 500/(SP – 30) = 100 s

⇒ 5 = SP – 30

⇒ SP = 35 m/s

⇒ 35 m/s = 35 × (18/5) km/hr = 126 km/hr

The required speed is 126 km/hr.

26.

A thief is spotted by the police at a distance of 300m. On seeing the police, the thief takes off on a motor cycle at a speed of 15 m/s.  If the thief is caught in 1 min 40 seconds, find the speed of the police.1. 12 m/s2. 15 m/s3. 18 m/s4. 21 m/s5. 24 m/s

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 18 m/s

Given:

Distance at which the thief is spotted = 300 m

Speed of thief = 15 m/s

Time taken by the police to catch the thief = 1 min 40 seconds = 100 s

Concept used:

Time taken for the police to catch the thief = distance/(relative speed)

Relative speed = SP – ST, when both are going in same direction.

Calculation:

Time taken for the police to catch the thief = 300/(SP – 15) = 100 s

⇒ 3 = SP – 15

⇒ SP = 18 m/s

The required speed is 18 m/s.

A tank can be filled by a tap in 9 hours. However, it takes 10 hours to fill the tank due to a leak. The tap is closed when the tank is full. How many hours will the tank take to empty due to leakage?1. 90 hours2. 100 hours3. 110 hours4. 80 hours

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 90 hours

Given:

Tank filled = 9 hours

Tank + hole filled = 10 hours

Concept used:

Total capacity = LCM

Efficiency of inlet tap always positive and efficiency of outlet tap is always negative

Formula used:

Efficiency = Total capacity/Time

Calculation

Let P be inlet pipe and Q be leakage

Total capacity = LCM of 9, 10 = 90

Tap

Time

Total capacity

Efficiency

P

9 hours

90

90/9 = 10

P + Q

10 hours

90

90/10 = 9


Efficiency of leakage = 10 – 9 = 1

Time taken by leakage to empty the tank = 90/1 = 90 hours.

Time taken by leakage to empty the full tank is 90 hours
