A man covers a distance of 1200 km in 70 days resting 9 hours a day, if he rests 10 hours a day and walks with speed 1½ times of the previous in how many days will he cover 840 km ?

A man covers a distance of 1200 km in 70 days resting 9 hours a day, if he rests 10 hours a day and walks with speed 1½ times of the previous in how many days will he cover 840 km ? Correct Answer 35 days

Distance d = 1200kmlet S be the speed

he walks 15 hours a day(i.e 24 - 9)so totally he walks for 70 x 15 = 1050hrs.

S = 1200/1050 => 120/105 = 24/21 => 8/7kmph

given 1 1/2 of previous speedso 3/2 * 8/7= 24/14 = 12/7

New speed = 12/7kmph

Now he rests 10 hrs a day that means he walks 14 hrs a day.

time = 840 x 7 /12 => 490 hrs=> 490/14 = 35 days

So he will take 35 days to cover 840 km.

If Rati travels at his usual speed for ‘x’ hours, he covers the same distance as he covered when he travels at a speed 30 km/hr less than usual, but for (x + 3) hours. Which of the following can be determined? (A) If he travels at 20 km/hr less speed than usual, he can cover a distance of 240 km in (x - 1) hours. What is the value of ‘x’? (B) If travels at his usual speed for (t + 2) hours, and at 50% of his usual speed for (t - 2) hours, his average speed for the journey is 68 km/hr. What is his usual speed? (C) His usual speed (in km/hr) is a multiple of 5 between 40 and 50 (both inclusive). If ‘x’ is a whole number, what is his usual speed? (D) If he travels at his usual speed for ‘t’ hours, he covers a distance of 400 km. What is the value of ‘x’?
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.
In the following question, two statements are numbered as A and B. On solving these statements we get quantities A and B respectively. Solve for the both quantities and chose the correct option. Quantity A: The average speed of a car is \(2\frac{3}{5}\) times the average speed of bus. A bike covers 270 km in 3 hour. How much distance will the car cover in 5 hours if the speed of the bus is one third of the speed of bike? Quantity B: The average speed of a train is \(1\frac{4}{7}\) times the average speed of car. The car covers a distance of 490 km in 5 hours. How much distance will the train cover in 10 hours?
Two boysM and N start from the same point. M walks 5 km south, then turns to his left and walks 6 km, then turns to his right and walks 5 km, and then again turns to his right and walks 6 km. At the same time, N walks 5 km north, then turns to his left and walks 6 km, then turns to his left and walks 10 km, and then again turns to his left and walks 3 km and then turns to his right and walks 5 km.What is the position of N with respect to M?
Study the two cases and answer in terms of relation between the two cases Case 1: The average speed of the bike is \(3\frac{3}{4}\) times the average speed of the bus. A car covers 720 km in 10 hours. How much distance (in km) will a bike cover in 50 minutes if the speed of the bus is half of the speed of the car? Case 2: The average speed of bike is \(1\frac{2}{5}\) times the average speed of the car. A bus covers 441 km in 7 hours. How much distance (in km) will a bike cover in 45 minutes if the speed of the car is twice the speed of the bus?
Garima starts walking towards the south from point R. He walks for 5m to reach Point S then turns right and walks for 2m to reach point T from there he turns left and walks for 3m to reach Point Z. He then turns right from point Z and walks for 6m to reach point Y and then turns right and walks for 3m to reach point X. He then turns right from point X and walks for 4m to reach point W and then turns left and walks for 5m to reach point V and then turns left and walks for 4m till point U and stops.

Ramesh works A hours a day and rests B hours a day. This pattern continues for 1 week, with an exactly opposite pattern next week, and so on for four weeks. Every fifth week he adopts a new pattern which then continues for the next four weeks. When he works longer than he rests, his wage per hour is three times what he earns per hour when he rests longer than he works. The following table shows his daily working hours for the week numbered 1 to 13.   1st Week 5th Week 9th Week 13th Week Rest 3 4 5   Work 6 8 9 8   A week consists of six days and a month consists of four weeks. If Ramesh is paid Rs. 60 per working hour in the 1st week, what is his salary for the month? (Assume that he is paid half his wages for his resting hours on duty)
A man covers a certain distance(in m) in 15 minutes and then covers a distance which is equal to three times of the previous distance in 45 minutes and again travels a distance twice the previous distance in 1 hour 30 minutes. If the average speed of the man is 50 m/min, then find the half of the total distance covered by man.
