Question: 1

An express train travelled at an average speed of 100 km/hr, stopping for 3 minutes after every 75 km. How long did it take to reach its destination 600 km from the starting point?

(A) 6 hrs 21 min

(B) 6 hrs 24 min

(D) 6 hrs 30 min

View Answer

Ans: A

Time taken to cover 600 km = $$({600} / {100})$$ hrs = 6 hrs.

Number of stoppages = $${600} /{75} – 1$$ = 7.

Total time of stoppage = ( 3 × 7) min = 21 min.

Hence, total time taken = 6 hrs 21 min.

Question: 2

A train scheduled to cover the distance between two stations 46 km apart in one hour. if it travels 25 km at a speed of 40 km/hr, find the speed for the remaining journey to complete it in the scheduled time.

(A) 36 km/hr

(B) 46 km/hr

(D) 66 km/hr

View Answer

Ans: C

Time taken to travel 25 km = $$({25}/{40})$$hr = $${5}/{8}$$hr.

Remaining time = $$(1 – {5}/{8})$$hr = $${3}/{8}$$hr.

∴ Required speed = $$(21 × {8}/{3})$$km/hr = 56 km/hr.

Question: 3

A flight of Jet Airways from Delhi to Mumbai has an average speed of 700 km/hr without any stoppage, whereas a flight of Kingfisher from Delhi to Mumbai has an average speed of 560 km/hr with stoppage at Baroda. What is the average stoppage time per hour of Kingfisher flight if both the planes fly at the same speed?

(A) 8 min

(B) 10 min

(D) 16 min

View Answer

Ans: C

Due to stoppage, Kingfisher flight covers (700 – 560)
= 140 km less per hour.

Time taken to cover 140 km = $$({140} / {700} × 60)$$ min = 12 min.

Hence, stoppage time per hour = 12 min.

Question: 4

An aeroplane flies twice as fast as a train which covers 60 miles in 80 minutes. What distance will the aeroplane cover in 20 minutes?

(A) 30 miles

(B) 35 miles

(D) 50 miles

View Answer

Ans: A

Time taken to cover 60 miles = 80 min = 4/3 hrs.

∴ Speed of the train = $$(60 × {3}/{4})$$ mph = 45 mph.

Speed of the aeroplane = (2 × 45) mph = 90 mph.

Distance covered by the aeroplane in 60 min = 90 miles.

Distance covered by the aeroplane in 20 min

= $$({90}/{60} × 20)$$ miles = 30 miles.

Question: 5

Which of the following trains is the fastest?

(A) 25 m/sec

(B) 90 km/hr

(D) None of these

View Answer

Ans: D

25 m/sec = $$(25 × {18}/{5})$$km/hr = 90 km/hr.

And, 25 m/sec = (25 × 60) m/min = 1500 m/min.

So, all the three speeds are equal.
