A horse descends 60% faster than climbing a mountain. If the distance to be covered in a one-way route is 180 km, and the time of descent is 180 minutes, then what is the speed of climbing per hour?.

A horse descends 60% faster than climbing a mountain. If the distance to be covered in a one-way route is 180 km, and the time of descent is 180 minutes, then what is the speed of climbing per hour?. Correct Answer 37.5 kmph

Given:

Speed of hours in descends = 60% faster than climbing a mountain

Formula used:

S = D/T   (Where, D = Distance, S = Speed, and T = Time)

Calculation:

Let be assume climbing speed and descends speed of horse is X and Y respectively

⇒ Y = 180/(180/60) = 180/3 = 60 km/h

⇒ X  × (160/100) =  Y

⇒ X  × (160/100) = 60

⇒ X = (60 × 100)/160 = 6000/160 = 37.5 km/h

∴ The required result will be 37.5 km/h.

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.

Louis has 3 routes to reach office. Route -1 is 5 km, route-2 is 7 km and route3 is 4 km. based on the traffic condition he takes different routes. Every Monday there is heavy traffic on Route-2 and Route-3 and Tuesdays and Wednesdays there would be multiple diversions on Route-1 and Route-3. Thursday and Friday he prefers to go by Route-3. Assume he works 5 days a week. In 4 consecutive weeks, how many days will he take Route-2 and how many kilometers will he have traveled on Route-2?

The speed of a car during the 2nd hour of its journey is thrice of that in the 1st hour. Also, its 3rd-hour speed is the average speed in the first two hours. If the car had traveled for the entire duration at the speed of 2nd-hour speed then it would have traveled 150 km more. By what percent distance covered in the first case will decrease than distance covered in the latter case in the same time i.e. 3 hours?

B) Boat M and Boat N are travelling downstream with speed 33 km/hr and 40 km/hr respectively and speed of boat M is still water is 2 times the speed of stream. C) Speed of boat M in still water is 6 km/hr less then speed of boat N in still water and speed of stream is 10 km/hr. D) Speed of stream is ½ times the speed of boat N in still water and downstream speed of boat M is 44 km/hr. E) Speed of stream is 10 km/hr and ratio of upstream speed of boat M and boat N is 3 : 2 respectively.
Leena can go to her office in two ways also return to her home from the same route. The distance of the first route is 5 km while the distance of the second route is 7 km.

If Rati travels at his usual speed for ‘x’ hours, he covers the same distance as he covered when he travels at a speed 30 km/hr less than usual, but for (x + 3) hours. Which of the following can be determined? (A) If he travels at 20 km/hr less speed than usual, he can cover a distance of 240 km in (x - 1) hours. What is the value of ‘x’? (B) If travels at his usual speed for (t + 2) hours, and at 50% of his usual speed for (t - 2) hours, his average speed for the journey is 68 km/hr. What is his usual speed? (C) His usual speed (in km/hr) is a multiple of 5 between 40 and 50 (both inclusive). If ‘x’ is a whole number, what is his usual speed?

Arun drove from home to his hostel at 60 miles per hour. While returning home he drove half way along the same route at a speed of 25 miles per hour and then took a bypass road which increased his driving distance by 5 miles, but allowed him to drive at 50 miles per hour along this bypass road. If his return journey took 30 minutes more than his onward journey, then the total distance traveled by him is
