A person travels three equal distance at a speed of x km/hr, y km/hr and z km/hr respectively. What is the average speed for the whole journey ?

• 1]

  \(\frac{{xyz}}{{3\left( {xy + yz + zx} \right)}}\)    km/hr

• 2]

  \(\frac{{xyz}}{{\left( {xy + yz + zx} \right)}}\)    km/hr

• 3]

  \(\frac{{\left( {xy + yz + zx} \right)}}{{xyz}}\)    km/hr

• 4]

  \(\frac{{3xyz}}{{\left( {xy + yz + zx} \right)}}\)    km/hr

A man walking at the speed of 4 km/hr,cross a square field diagonally in 3 minutes.The area of the field is?

• 1] 20000 sqm
• 2] 25000 sqm
• 3] 18000 sqm
• 4] 19000 sqm

A train covers a distance between two stations A and B in 45 minutes. If the speed of the train is reduced by 5 km/hr, then it covers the distance in 48 minutes. The distance between the stations A and B is :

• 1] 55 km
• 2] 60 km
• 3] 64 km
• 4] 80 km

From two places, 60 km apart A and B start towards each other at the same time and meet each other after 6 hours. If A traveled with \(\frac{2}{3}\) of his usual speed and B traveled with double his speed they would have met after 5 hours. The speed of A is :

• 1] 4 km/hr
• 2] 6 km/hr
• 3] 10 km/hr
• 4] 12 km/hr

The speed of two trains are in the ratio 6 : 7. If the second train runs 364 km in 4 hours, then the speed of first train is :

• 1] 60 km/hr
• 2] 72 km/hr
• 3] 78 km/hr
• 4] 84 km/hr

An express train travelled at an average speed of 100 km/hr, stopping for 3 minutes after every 75 km. How much time does the Train take to travel between two places which are 600 km apart?

• 1]

  6 hrs 21 min

• 2]

  6 hrs 24 min

• 3]

  6 hrs 27 min

• 4]

  6 hrs 30 min

Ramesh travels 760 km to his home, partly by train and partly by car. He takes 8 hours, if he travels 160 km by train and the rest by car. He takes 12 minutes more, if he travels 240 km by train and the rest by car. What are the spends of the car and the train respectively ?

• 1] 90 km/hr, 60 km/hr
• 2] 100 km/hr, 80 km/hr
• 3] 80 km/hr, 70 km/hr
• 4] 100 km/hr, 90 km/hr

A is twice fast as B and B is thrice fast as C. The journey covered by C in 78 minutes will be covered by A in :

• 1] 13 min
• 2] 15.5 min
• 3] 17 min
• 4] 12 min

A car after traveling 18 km from a point A developed some problem in the engine and the speed became \(\frac{4}{5}\) th of its original speed. As a result, the car reached point B 45 minutes late. If the engine had developed the same problem after traveling 30 km from A, then it would have reached 36 minutes late. The original speed of the car (in km/h) is:

• 1] 25 kmph
• 2] 30 kmph
• 3] 20 kmph
• 4] 35 kmph
• 5] None of these

An express train travelled at an average speed of 100 kmph, stopping for 3 min after 75 km. A local train travelled at a speed of 50 kmph, stopping for 1 min after every 25 km. If the trains began travelling at the same time, how many kilometres did the local train travel in the time it took the express train to travel 600 km ?

• 1] 287.5 km
• 2] 307.5 km
• 3] 325 km
• 4] 396 km
