A man can row 8 kmh-1 in still water. If the river is running at 6 kmh-1, he takes 6 hours more to go upstream than downstream for the same distance. Find the distance.

Answer»

14 km



SPEED UPSTREAM= 8 - 6 = 2 kmh-1 
Speed downstream = 8 + 6 = 14 kmh-1 
Now, x/2 - x/14 = 6
or, 7x - x/14 = 6
∴ x = 14 km

A and B go around a circular track of length 600 m on a cycle at speeds of 36 kmph and 54 kmph. After how much time will they meet for the first time at the starting point?

Answer»

120 sec



Time taken to meet for the first time at the starting point

= LCM { LENGTH of the track / speed of A , length of the track / speed of B}

= LCM { 600/ (36 * 5/18), 600/ (54 * 5 /18) } 

= LCM (60, 40) = 120 sec.

A car travels distance of 60 km at speed of 20 kmph. If covers the next 80 km of its journey at speed of 40 kmph and last 20 km of its journey at speed of 5 kmph. What is average speed of car?

Answer»

17.8 km/h



Time taken in 1st part= 60/20 = 3 hrs
Time taken in 2nd part = 80/40 = 2 hrs
Time taken in 3rd part = 20/5 = 4 hrs 
TOTAL distance = 60 + 80 + 20 = 160 km
Total time= 3 + 2 + 4 = 9 hrs
Therefore, SPEED = 160/9 = 17.8 KMPH

A is faster than B. A and B each walk 24 km. The sum of their speeds is 7 km/hr and the sum of times taken by them is 14 hours. Then, A's speed is equal to?

Answer»

4 km/hr



Let A's speed = X km/hr. Then, B's speed = (7 - x) km/ hr.

So, 24/x + 24/(7 - x) = 14 

x2 - 98X + 168 = 0

(x - 3)(x - 4) = 0 => x = 3 or 4.

Since, A is FASTER than B, so A's speed = 4 km/hr and B's speed = 3 km/hr.
