A train shuttles between stations A and B, and stops at 5 intermediate stations for 5 mins each. Assume that stations A and B are  60 km apart, and the train is moving at a speed of 50 kmph, how long will it take to reach B? Correct Answer 97 min

Given

Total stations between A and B = 5

Distance between each station = 60 km

Speed of Train = 50 kmph

Wait at Each station = 5 mins

Formula used

Time = Distance / speed

Calculation

A .. 1 .. 2 .. 3 .. 4 .. 5 .. B

Total distance between A and B = 60 km

Time taken to travel 60 km = 60/50 hr

⇒ (60/50) × 60 min

⇒ 72 min

Total waiting time = 5 × 5 = 25 min

∴ Total time taken = 72 + 25 = 97 min

A train shuttles between stations A and B, and stops at 5 intermediate stations for 5 mins each. Assume that the stations are at equal intervals of 10 km, and the train is moving at a speed of 50 kmph, how long will it take to reach B ?
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.
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.

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
