Rajesh plans to go to a place A, 100 km away from his home. For first 50 km he travels at 20 km/hr and travels some more distance at 28 km/hr. The remaining distance was travelled at 44 km/hr. His friend drives next day from Rajesh’s home to the place A at a constant speed of 25 km/hr and it was found that both Rajesh and his friend took same time to cover 100 km. For how many kilometres did Rajesh move at 44 km/hr?

Rajesh plans to go to a place A, 100 km away from his home. For first 50 km he travels at 20 km/hr and travels some more distance at 28 km/hr. The remaining distance was travelled at 44 km/hr. His friend drives next day from Rajesh’s home to the place A at a constant speed of 25 km/hr and it was found that both Rajesh and his friend took same time to cover 100 km. For how many kilometres did Rajesh move at 44 km/hr? Correct Answer 22

GIVEN :

Let the distance Rajesh covered with 44 km/hr speed be x.

∴ Distance covered by Rajesh with a speed of 28 km/hr = 100 - 50 - x = 50 - x

 

CALCULATION :

Total time taken by Rajesh = 50/20 + x/44 + (50 - x)/ 28

This time is equal to the time taken by his friend who moved at a speed of 25 km/hr

∴ 100/25 = 50/20 + x/44 + (50 - x)/28

⇒ 4 = 2.5 + {7 × x + 11 × (50 - x)}/308

⇒ 1.5 = (550 - 4x)/308

∴ x = 22 km

Each of the question below consists of a question and three statements number I, II and III given below it. You have to decide whether the data provided in the statement are sufficient to answer the question. If the bus is travelling from Surat to Ahmadabad and a car is travelling from Ahmadabad to Surat, then what is the distance between Surat and Ahmadabad? I. The speed of a car is 40% less than the speed of bus. Bus started at 9 am and car started at 10 am and they meet at 3 pm of the same day. II. After travelling for 1 hour, because of traffic average speed of bus is decreased by 20% and covers distance between Surat to Ahmadabad in 11 hours. Original speed of car is 20% less than original speed of bus and before crossing bus it covered 200 km if starts 1 hour later than bus. After crossing car, bus covers remaining distance in 5 hours. III. Speed of bus is 10 km/hr more than the speed of car and before crossing car ratio of distances covered bus and car in same time was 5 : 4. Time taken by car to cover the distance between Ahmadabad and Surat is 2 hours 15 minutes more than time taken by bus to cover the same distance.
