The speed of a truck is 1/3rd the speed of a train. The train covers 1230 kms in 5 hours. What is the speed of the truck? Correct Answer 82 kmph

Given:

The speed of a truck is 1/3rd the speed of a train.

The train covers 1230 kms in 5 hours.

Formula used:

Speed = Distance/Time

Calculation:

The train covers 1230 kms in 5 hours.

Speed of the train = Distance/Time

⇒ 1230/5

⇒ 246 km/hr

According to the question,

Speed of truck = 1/3rd the speed of a train

⇒ Speed of truck = (1/3)× 246 km/hr

⇒ 82 km/hr

∴ Speed of the truck is 82 km/hr.

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.
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? (D) If he travels at his usual speed for ‘t’ hours, he covers a distance of 400 km. What is the value of ‘x’?
The accused driver of a truck while driving on the left side i.e., his side of the road, sees a cyclist coming from the opposite direction, but on the wrong side of the road i.e. in the lane on which the truck was being driven; the road being narrow and the truck driver sensing that the cyclist was peddling negligently, maneuvers his truck on the opposite lane and simultaneously the cyclist suddenly moves to his lane and as a result the truck over-runs the cyclist, causing the death of cyclist.
