A boy goes to his school from his house at a speed of 3 km / hr and returns at a speed of 2 km / hr. If he takes 5 hours in going and coming, the distance between his house and school is :___________?

A. 5 km
B. 5.5 km
C. 6 km
D. 6.5 km
Average speed = ( 2 X 3 X 2/3 + 2 ) km/ hr = 12/5 km/ hr. Distance travelled = ( 12/5 X 5 )km = 12 km. So Distance between house and school = ( 12/2 )km = 6 km.

An express train travelled at an average speed of 100 km / hr, stopg for 3 minutes after every 75 km. How long did it take to reach its destination 600 km from the starting point ?

A. 6 hrs 21 min
B. 6 hrs 24 min
C. 6 hrs 27 min
D. 6 hrs 30 min
Time taken to cover 600 km = ( 600/100 ) hrs = 6 hrs. Number of stoppages = ( 600/75 – 1 ) = 7 Total time of stoppage = (3 x 7) min = 21 min. Hence, total time taken = 6 hrs 21 min.

A train covers a distance of 10 km in 12 minutes. If its speed is decreased by 5 km /hr, the time taken by it to cover the same distance will be :__________?

A. 10 min
B. 11 min 20 sec
C. 13 min
D. 13 min 20 sec
Speed = (10 X 60/12 ) km/hr = 50 km/hr. New speed = (50 – 5) km / hr = 45 km /hr. So Time taken = ( 10/45 ) hr = ( 2/9X 60 )min 131/3 min = 13 min 20 sec.

Two automobiles are 150 kilometers apart and traveling toward each other. One automobile is moving at 60km/h and the other is moving at 40km/h mph. In how many hours will they meet?

A. 2.5
B. 2.0
C. 1.75
D. 1.5
E. 1.25

One moves at 60km/h, so in an hour, he’ll travel 60km
The other moves at 40km/h, so in an hour, he’ll travel 40km
This is towards each other, so, in an hour, we can say that they’ll get 60+40=100km closer.
This means that they get closer at 100km/h
Given that we have the distance of 150km, and the speed of closure at 100kmh, we can now use the equation
S=D/T
Rearrange to find T (times both sides by T)
S x T = D (now divide both sides by S)
T=D/S
Time = 150km divided by 100km/h
Time = 1.5 hours
Or one hour and 30 minutes
