87 . A man complete a journey in 10 hrs. He travels first half of the journey at the rate of 21 km/hr and second half at
the rate of 24 km/hr. Find the total journey in km?

A. 220 km B. 224 km

C. 230 km D. 234 km

Answer & Explanation

Answer: B

Explanation:

Let the total distance be x km.

Then, [(1/2 x) / 21 + (1/2 x) / 24] = 10

15x = 168 * 20 => x = 224 km.

88 . A person travels equal distances with speeds of 3 km/hr, 4 km/hr and 5 km/hr and takes a total time of 47
minutes. The total distance is?

A. 2 B. 3

C. 4 D. 5

Answer & Explanation

Answer: B

Explanation:

Let the total distance be 3x km.

Then, x/3 + x/4 + x/5 = 47/60

47x/60 = 47/60 => x = 1.

Total distance = 3 * 1 = 3 km.

89 . A is faster than B. A and B each walk 24 km. The sum of their speeds is 7 km/hr and the sum of times taken by
them is 14 hours. Then, A's speed is equal to?

A. 3 km/hr B. 4 km/hr

C. 5 km/hr D. 7 km/hr

Answer & Explanation

Answer: B

Explanation:

Let A's speed = x km/hr. Then, B's speed = (7 - x) km/ hr.

So, 24/x + 24/(7 - x) = 14
x2 - 98x + 168 = 0
(x - 3)(x - 4) = 0 => x = 3 or 4.
Since, A is faster than B, so A's speed = 4 km/hr and B's speed = 3 km/hr.

C. 48 km/hr D. 50 km/hr

Answer & Explanation

Answer: C

Explanation:

Speed on return trip = 150% of 40 = 60 km/hr.

Average speed = (2 * 40 * 60)/(40 + 60) = 48 km/hr.
