Prachi and Aniket start their journey towards each other from Delhi and Guwahati respectively. The speeds of Aniket and Prachi are 70 km/h and 75 km/h respectively. If the distance between Delhi and Guwahati is 1885 km then find after how much time (hours) they will meet.

Prachi and Aniket start their journey towards each other from Delhi and Guwahati respectively. The speeds of Aniket and Prachi are 70 km/h and 75 km/h respectively. If the distance between Delhi and Guwahati is 1885 km then find after how much time (hours) they will meet. Correct Answer 13 hr

Given:

Speed of Prachi = 75 km/h

Speed of Aniket = 70 km/h

Distance = 1885 km

Formula Used:

Speed = Distance/Time

Concept Used:

If two objects are moving with speeds S1 and S2 in the opposite direction

Their relative speed is S1 + S2

Calculation:

Relative speed = 75 + 70 = 145 km/h

Using the speed Formula,

Time = 1885/145 = 13 h

∴ They will meet after 13 hours.

Questions below followed by three quantities. Find the relationship between them. Quantity I: Peter travels 25% distance of the total journey by car and 60% of the remaining by train and Bus in the respective ratio of 5 : 4 and the remaining distance he covers on feet. If the sum of the distance which he travels by car and by foot is 396 km, then find the total distance which Peter travels during his journey? Quantity II: A and B start at the same time with speeds of 60 km/hr and 75 km/hr respectively. If in covering the journey A takes 96 minutes longer than B, the total distance of the journey is? Quantity III: The length of the train and that of the platform are equal. If with a speed of 90 km/hr the train crosses the platform in 60 sec, then what is the length of the train (in metres)?
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. After crossing each other the car from Jaipur to Shimla takes 5 hours to complete the leftover 250km of journey. The speed of the car from Shimla to Jaipur after crossing reduced by 10 km/h and it covered the leftover distance in 10 hours. What is the total distance between Jaipur and Shimla?

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?

In the following question, two statements are numbered as A and B. On solving these statements, we get quantities A and B respectively. Solve both quantities and choose the correct option. Quantity A: Pipe A takes thrice the time taken by Pipe B to fill a tank. Together they can fill the tank in 15 hours, tank A and B is opened together for 4 hours and then Pipe A is closed and after 2 more hours Pipe B is closed and an outlet Pipe C is opened which when working alone can empty the tank in 10 hours. Calculate the time taken by C to empty the tank. Quantity B: A pipe A can fill the tank in 10 hours another pipe B can fill the tank in 15 hours and with the help of third pipe C they can fill the tank in 5 hours. Pipe A is opened for 4 hours then it is closed, pipe B is closed 3 hours before filling of tank and tank C is opened the whole time. Calculate the time taken to fill the tank

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.
