Ramu wants to go back to his village from Delhi where he works. He uses cab for the same. The cab runs at the rate of 180 kmph and reaches his village 20 minutes early of schedule. On returning back to Delhi, same cab runs at an average speed of 120 kmph, it reaches 30 minutes late. What is distance between his village and Delhi. Correct Answer 300 km

Given∶

Speed of cab while going to village = 180 kmph, at this speed he reaches 20 minute early.

Speed of cab while going to Delhi = 120 kmph, at this speed he reaches 30 minute late.

Formula Used∶

Time = Distance / Speed

Calculation∶

Let the distance between Delhi and his village be x km

And, the speed in order to reach on time is y km/hr.

So, time taken to reach on schedule will = x/y hours

According to question,

x / 180 = (x / y) – (1 / 3)   ---- (1)

x / 120 = (x / y) + (1 / 2)   ---- (2)

subtractequation (1) from (2), we get

⇒ (x / 120) – (x / 180) = (1 / 2) – (-1 / 3)

⇒ (3x – 2x) / 360 = (1 / 2) + (1 / 3)

⇒ x = (5 × 360) / 6

⇒ x = 300 km

∴ The distance between Delhi and his village is 300 km.

The question below is followed by three statements I, II, and III. 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. A car travels from city P to city Q in T hours with a speed of v km per hour. Distance between cities P and Q is D kilometers. If it increases its speed by 5 kmph it saves some time. Find the actual speed of the car. Statement I: If the car travels from P to Q with its actual speed of v kmph and come back with the speed of v + 5 kmph in 2T – 0.6 hrs Statement II: A bus start form Q at the same time when the car starts from P and the speed of the bus is 50% more than the speed of the car and the bus meets car after covering 60% of the distance Statement III: Distance between PQ is given by D2 – 25D + 200 = 0  
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.

There is only one rail track between stations A and B on a railway line. One hour after the northbound superfast train N leaves station A for station B, the southbound passenger train S reaches station A from station B. The speed of superfast train is twice that of express train E, while the speed of passenger train S is half of that of train E. On some one day train N leaves from station A to station B 20 minutes late than its usual schedule. Both Train N and Train S have increased their speed to maintain the schedule as per the table. If the superfast train doubles its speed, then what should be the ratio (approximately) of the speed of the passenger train to the speed of the superfast train so that the passenger train reaches the station on that day at the exact scheduled time.
