An individual is cycling at a speed of 25 km per hour. He catches his predecessor who had started earlier in two hours. What is the speed of his predecessor who had started 3 hours earlier ? Correct Answer 10 kmph

The distance covered in two hour,= 2 × 25 = 50 km Time taken by first individual = (3h + 2h) = 5hThen, the speed of predecessor, = $$\frac{{50}}{5}$$ = 10 kmph.

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?

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)
In the first 6 hours of a day, a printer can print average of 15 pages/hour, for the next 8 hours it can print 12 pages/hour. For the next 3 hours it can print 17 pages/hour and for the last 7 hours it can print 9 pages/hour, then what is the average speed per hour of the printer for that day?
A pipe, working at full speed, can fill an empty cistern in 1 hour. However, during the first hour it worked at one-twenty-fourth of its capacity, during the second hour at one-twelfth of its capacity, during the third hour at one-eighth of its usual capacity, during the fourth hours at one-fourth of its usual capacity and during the fifth hour it was only one-half as efficient as it was supposed to be. A second pipe also displayed similar performance, but if it worked at full speed would have filled the empty cistern in 2 hours. Together with a drain pipe that drained water out of the tank a constant rate, the empty cistern could be filled in 5 hours, all the three pipe working concurrently. How many hours will it take the drain pipe to empty the filled cistern if no other pipe was functioning during the time?
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.
The speed of a car during the 2nd hour of its journey is thrice of that in the 1st hour. Also, its 3rd-hour speed is the average speed in the first two hours. If the car had traveled for the entire duration at the speed of 2nd-hour speed then it would have traveled 150 km more. By what percent distance covered in the first case will decrease than distance covered in the latter case in the same time i.e. 3 hours?
Given below are quantities named A,B and C. Based on the given information, you have to determine the relation between the quantities. You should use the given data and your knowledge of mathematics to choose among the possible answer. Quantity A: Tap1 and Tap2 can fill the tank in 16 hours and 25 hours respectively. Both the taps opened together. After some time Tap 1 is closed and after that the tank is filled in 12 hours. In how many hour Tap 1 and 2 work together? Quantity B: Three taps 1, 2, 3 can fill a cistern in 10,14,18 hours respectively. If tap 1 is kept open all the time and tap 2 and 3 is opened alternatively for an hour then find in how many hours the tank will be filled? Quantity C: Two taps 1 and 2 are such that tap 1 fills the tank in 10 hours and tap2 empties it in 20 hours. If tap 1 is opened first and after 5 hours tap 1 is closed and tap 2 is opened, then the tank emptied in x hours and find the value of x?
A pipe, working at full speed, can fill an empty cistern in 1 hour. However, during the first hour it worked at one-twelfth of its capacity, during the second hour at one-ninth of its capacity, during the third hour at one-sixth of its usual capacity and during the fifth hour it was only one -third as efficient as it was supposed to be. A second pipe also displayed similar performance, but if it worked at full speed would have filled the empty cistern in 2 hours. Together with a drain pipe that drained water out of the tank at a constant rate, the empty cistern could be filled in 5 hours, all the three pipes working concurrently. How many hours will it take the drain pipe to empty the filled cistern if no other pipe was functioning during the time?
