1. Speed = 90 × = 25m/s
18

15
2. 60 × = 15 km.
60

3. Total distance = 120 + 180 = 300 km.

120
Time taken for the first 120 km = → 6 hrs.
20
180
Time taken for the next 180 km = → 4 hrs.
45
Total time taken = 6 + 4 = 10 hrs.
Total Distance Travelled 300
Average Speed    30 km / hr.
Total Time Taken 10

4. Let the distance be x km

30 60 2
x = 10km

5. Speed of car = 450m/min = 27 kmph

69000m
Speed of train = = 92 kmph
45min
Ratio of speeds = 27:92

6. Rest time = Number of rests × time of each rest

= 3 × 2 minutes
= 6 minutes
4
Total time to cover 4 km = × 60 + 6 minutes
6
= (40 + 6) minutes = 46 minutes
7. Length of the train = 340 m
Length of the tunnel = 160m
Therefore, length of the train + length of the tunnel = (340 + 160) m = 500m
Speed of the train = 45 km/hr
5
Speed of the train = 45  m/sec
18
25
= m/sec
2
= 12.5 m/sec
500m
Therefore, time taken by the train to cross the tunnel = = 40 seconds.
12.5 m / sec

8. Using the unitary method;

70 km is covered in 1 hour.
1
1 km is covered in hours.
70
1
210 km is covered in  210 hours = 3 hours
70
Given:
speed = 70 km/hr,
distance covered = 210 km
Distance 210
Time taken   hours = 3 hours
Speed 70

9. Distance = speed × time

80
  36  48km
60

distance 80
10. Time    1.6hr
time 50

Section B
11. Original speed is 60 miles per hour.
If the speed is reduced by 10 miles per hour, then the new speed is
= 50 miles per hour
Distance to be covered is 300 miles.
The formula to find time is
Distance
Time 
Speed
300
Time taken to cover 300 miles distance at the speed of 50 miles per hour is 
50
= 6 hours

15. Speed of train = 54 km/hr
5
= 54 × m/sec
18
= 15 m/sec
Length of the train = 150 meters
length of train
Therefore, time taken by the train to cross a pole =
speed of train
150
= sec = 10 sec
15
Thus, train takes 10 seconds to cross the pole.
