With an average speed of 50 km/hr, a train reaches its destination in time. If it goes with an average speed of 40 km/hr, it is late by 24 min. The total journey is :

• 1] 30 km
• 2] 40 km
• 3] 70 km
• 4] 80 km

A certain distance is covered at a certain speed. If half of this distance is covered in double the time, the ratio of the two speed is :

• 1] 1 : 16
• 2] 4 : 1
• 3] 2 : 1
• 4] 1 : 4

Two men P and Q start a journey from the same place at a speed of 3 km/hr and \(3\frac{1}{2}\) km/hr respectively. If they move in the same direction then what is the distance of them after 4 hours?

• 1]

  3 km

• 2]

  \(2\frac{1}{2} \)km

• 3]

  2 km

• 4]

  \(\frac{1}{2}\) km

A train passes two persons walking in the same direction at a speed of 3 kmph and 5 kmph respectively in 10 seconds and 11 seconds respectively. The speed of the train is

• 1] 30 km/hr
• 2] 25 km/hr
• 3] 18 km/hr
• 4] 10 km/hr

A car travels from P to Q at a constant speed. If its speed were increased by 10 km/hr, it would have taken one hour lesser to cover the distance. It would have taken further 45 minutes lesser if the speed was further increased by 10 km/hr. The distance between two cities is :

• 1] 540 km
• 2] 420 km
• 3] 600 km
• 4] 620 km

A man goes to a place on bicycle at speed of 16 km/hr and comes back at lower speed. If the average speed is 6.4 km/hr in total, then the return speed (in km/hr) is :

• 1] 10 km/hr
• 2] 8 km/hr
• 3] 6 km/hr
• 4] 4 km/hr
