A diamond crossing is provided when two tracks of either the same gauge or of different gauges cross each other. It consists of two acute crossings (A and C) and two obtuse crossings (B and D). A typical diamond crossing consisting of two tracks of the same gauge crossing each other is shown in the Fig

2) Scissors Crossover:

In a circular car race tracks, one has to maintain a speed proportional to the square - root of radius of the track to avoid accident. There are concentric circular tracks with radii 12.25 m, 49 m, 110.25 m and 196 m respectively. If the average speed of a racer who covers all four tracks is 75.6 km/hr, what is the speed with he covered the third track (in m/s)? Neglect the time taken to shift between two tracks.
Four friends A, B, C and D need to cross a bridge. A maximum two persons can cross it at a time. It is night and they just have one lamp. Persons that cross the bridge must carry the lamp to find the way. A pair must walk together at the speed of slower person. After crossing the bridge, the person having faster speed in the pair will return with the lamp each time to accompany another person in the group. Finally, the lamp has to be returned at the original place and the person who returns the lamp has to cross the bridge again without lamp. To cross the bridge, the time taken by them is as follows: A :1 minute, B : 2 minutes, C : 7 minutes and D : 10 minutes. What is the total minimum time required by all the friends to cross the bridge?

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.

One car runs from Jaipur to Shimla and the other from Shimla to Jaipur. They both start simultaneously and meet cross each other at a particular point on the route. The speeds of cars from Jaipur to Shimla and from Shimla to Jaipur are in the ratio 4 ∶ 3 respectively.
