Two trains are 90 km apart. The faster train has twice the speed of slower train which is travelling at 24 km/hr. If both trains start at the same time towards each other, what will be the position of the faster train when the slower train reached other point? 

Two trains are 90 km apart. The faster train has twice the speed of slower train which is travelling at 24 km/hr. If both trains start at the same time towards each other, what will be the position of the faster train when the slower train reached other point?  Correct Answer At its starting point

Speed of the slower train = 24 km/hr

Speed of the faster train = 24 × 2 = 48 km/hr

Time taken by slower train to travel 90km = 90/24 = 3.75 hours

Distance travelled by faster train in 3.75hours = 48 × 3.75 = 180 km

∴ The faster train would be at its starting point

Due to the technical snag in the signal system two trains start approaching each other on the same track from two different stations, 240 km away each other. When the train starts a bird also starts moving to and fro between the two trains at 60 kmph touching each train each time. The bird initially sitting on the top of the engine of one of the trains and it moves so till these trains collide. If these trains collide one and half hour after start, then how many kilometers bird travels till the time of collision of trains?
Ram and Shyam started travelling from points A and B which is 710 km apart. Ram is travelling by train towards point B at a speed of 50 km/hr and Shyam is travelling by bus towards point A at a speed of 30 km/hr. Shyam started travelling 3 hours after Ram and they met at a point P after cetrain time. Find the distance between point P and point A.

B teaches Volleyball on the previous day of the day on which a coach trains Hockey. G trains on Sunday but does not train Cricket or Tennis. D trains Basketball on the previous day of the day on which F trains. A trains Football on Tuesday. E does not train Tennis. On which day does F train?
The question below is followed by two statements I and II. You have to determine whether the data given is sufficient for answering the question. You should use the data and your knowledge of mathematics to choose the best possible answer. Train A departs at 9 : 20 am and train B departs at 10 : 50 am and they travel towards each other. After how much amount of time will the trains meet? I) Train A travels with a speed of 10 kmph and the difference between the speed of two trains is 6 kmph and both the trains are 160 km apart. II) Train B travels at a speed greater than Train A which travels with 10 kmph by 6kmph separated by a distance of 160 km.
