There are two parallel streets each directed north to south. A person in the first street travelling from south to north wishes to take the second street which is on his right side. At some place, he makes a 150 deg turn to the right and he travels for 15 minutes at the speed of 20 km/hr. After that he takes a left turn of 60 deg and travels for 20 minutes at the speed of 30 km/hr in order to meet the second street. What is the distance between the two streets?

At some place, he makes a 150 deg turn to the right and he travels for 15 minutes at the speed of 20 km/hr. After that he takes a left turn of 60 deg and travels for 20 minutes at the speed of 30 km/hr in order to meet the second street. What is the distance between the two streets? Correct Answer 12.5 km

Initially the person is travelling from south to north i.e. D to A He takes 150 deg right turn and moves AB distance and then he takes 60 deg left turn travels BC AB = 20km/hr * 15/60 hr = 5km BC = 30 * 20/60 = 10 km We know that distance between both the streets is DC = DB + BC DB = AB cos 60o= 5. ½ =2.5 km So the distance between streets = 12.5 km

Given below are two quantities named A and B. Based on the given information, you have to determine the relation between the two quantities. You should use the given data and your knowledge of Mathematics to choose between the possible answers. Quantity A: A person who travels a certain distance to his office by his car.If he increases his speed by 8 km/hr, he takes 2 hours less time but if he drives 8 km/hr slower, he takes 4 hours more time. Find the distance of office from home. Quantity B: A person who travels a certain distance to his office by his car. If he increases his speed by 10 km/hr, he takes 1 hour less time but if he further increases his speed by 5 km/hr, he takes further 20 minutes lesser time. Find the distance of office from home.
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.
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’?

Raj and Amit start walking from the same place to reach the same mall but they choose different paths. Raj walks 6 m towards west and takes right turn and walks another 5 m. He then takes left turn and walks 4 m and at last he takes right turn and walks 3 m and reached the mall. Amit takes a left turn after walking 2 m in east and walks 8 m. After 8 m he turns left and walks straight and reaches the mall. What is the difference between the distances covered by them?

Study the given information carefully and answer the question that follows. In a boat, people are sitting in two parallel rows, with five people each in a row, in such a way that there is equal distance between adjacent persons. In the first row, Mani, Nani, Alex, Puri and Tuli are seated (not necessarily in the same order) and all of them are facing south. In the second row, Sharma, Atkin, Putin, Neha and Priya are seated (not necessarily in the same order) and all of them are facing north. Therefore, people in the opposite rows face each other in this arrangement. Priya sits third to the right of Atkin. Atkin sits at one of the extreme ends. Sharma sits second to the left of Priya. The person facing Sharma sits to the immediate right of Nani. Puri sits second to left of Nani. Mani is not an immediate neighbour of Nani. Only two people sit between Mani and Alex. Neither Nani nor Mani faces Neha. Who among the following is facing Tuli?
