In the following question, two statements are numbered as A and B. On solving these statements we get quantities A and B respectively. Solve for the both quantities and chose the correct option. Quantity A: The average speed of a car is \(2\frac{3}{5}\) times the average speed of bus. A bike covers 270 km in 3 hour. How much distance will the car cover in 5 hours if the speed of the bus is one third of the speed of bike? Quantity B: The average speed of a train is \(1\frac{4}{7}\) times the average speed of car. The car covers a distance of 490 km in 5 hours. How much distance will the train cover in 10 hours?

How much distance will the car cover in 5 hours if the speed of the bus is one third of the speed of bike? Quantity B: The average speed of a train is \(1\frac{4}{7}\) times the average speed of car. The car covers a distance of 490 km in 5 hours. How much distance will the train cover in 10 hours? Correct Answer Quantity A < Quantity B

Solvin for Quantity A:

Average speed of car = (13/5) × average speed of bus

Speed of bike = distance travel/time taken = 270/3 = 90 km/hr

Speed of bus = (1/3) × 90 = 30 km/hr

Speed of car = (13/5) × 30 = 78 km/hr

Distance cover by car in 5 hours = 78 × 5 = 390 km

Solving for Quantity B:

Average speed of train = (11/7) × average speed of car

Speed of car = 490/5 = 98 km/hr

Speed of train = (11/7) × 98 = 154 km/hr

Distance cover by train in 10 hours = 154 × 10 = 1540 km

∴ Quantity A < Quantity B

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.
