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)?

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)? Correct Answer Quantity I > Quantity II < Quantity III

Quantity I:

Let the total distance be 120x

By car = 25/100 × 120x = 30x

By Train = 5/9 × 60/100 × 90x = 30x

By bus = 30x/5 × 4 = 24x

By foot = 120x - 30x - 30x - 24x = 36x

According to question,

30x + 36x = 396

⇒ x = 6 km

Total distance = 120 × 6 = 720 km

Quantity II:

Let the total distance be x km

x/60 - x/75 = 96/60

⇒ (5x - 4x)/300 = 8/5

⇒ 5x - 4x = 480

⇒ x = 480 km

Quantity III:

Let the length of the train = x

According to question

Length of the train = Length of the platform

And we have to change the speed in m/sec

⇒ 90 × 5/18 = 25 m/sec

⇒ 2x/25 = 60

⇒ 2x = 25 × 60

⇒ x = 750 m

∴ Quantity I > Quantity II < Quantity III

Related Questions

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.
