Let,
A+B+C= x days
(B+C), 1/2 work in = (x/2+4)days
Full work= (x+8) days
Similarly
(A+C), 1/2 work= x/2+5 days
Full work = (x+10) days
Since,
1/A+1/B+1/C= 1/x
=> 1/A= 1/x-1/x+8
= (x+8-x)/x*(x+8)= 8/x*(x+8)
So A, 8/x*(x+8) part in= 1 days
1 part in = x*(x+8)/8 days
Similarly,
1/B= 1/x-1/(x+10)= 10/x*(x+10)
: B= x*(x+10)/10
ATQ,
x*(x+8)/8- x*(x+10)/10= 10
=> [5x(x+8)-4x(x+10)]= 400
=> 5x^2+40x-4x^2-40x= 400
=> x^2= 400
=> x= 20
So, A= 20*(20+8)/8= 70
B= 20*(20+10)/10= 60
Now,
1/A+1/C= 1/30
=> 1/30-1/70= 1/C
=> 7-3/210= 1/C
=> 1/C= 4/210
C, 4/210 part in= 1 days
1 part in= 210/4= 52.5 days[Answer.]

workers for this task.But after 24 days he found that only 1/8 of the task has been finished .If Mr.X wants to
finish the road in time how many additional workers he has to employ ?
#Solution:
Total work = (24×160×8)
Let, Extra Men = M
ATQ,
24×160+96×(M+160)= 24×160×8
=> 86M = 24×160×8-24×160-96×160
=> M= 120
Additional Men= 120[Answer]

[Q-47] A man covers a distance on scooter by 3 kmph faster and takes 40 min less. But if he decrease his speed
by 2 kmph then he is 40 min late. Find the distance.
#Solution:
Let, Distance= D km
Speed = V km/hr
ATQ,
D/(V) - D/(V+3)= 2/3_____[1]
And,
D/(V-2)-D/V= 2/3_________[2]
From [1] &[2]
D/V-D/(V+3)= D/(V-2)-D/V
=> 2/V= (V+3+V-2)/(V+3)(V-2)
=> 2(V^2-2V+3V-6)= V×(2V-1)
=> 2V^2+2V-12-2V^2-V= 0
=> V= 12 km/hr
Put this value into [1]
D/12 -D/15= 2/3

[Q-48] ramesh has a container filled completely with 80 % milk and 20 % water. 5 litres of thesolution is
removed and replaced with water. then, 1 5 litres of this solution is removed andreplaced with water. the milk
percentage is now 55%. which of the following can be thecapacity of the container (in litres)
#Solution:
Let, initial = x
Milk Initial = 4x/5

ATQ,
4x/5*(1- 5/x)(1-15/x)= 55% of x
=> 4/5*(x-5)(15-x)= 11x^2/20
=> 16(x^2-15x-5x+75)= 11x^2
=> 16(x^2-20x+75)= 11x^2
=> 16x^2-320x+ 1200-11x^2= 0
=> 5x^2-320x+1200= 0
=> 5x^2-300x-20x+1200= 0
=> x= 4,60
4 can not be, since already added 20 L, so solution must be greater than 20.
So, initial = 60 L[answer.]
[Q-49]P, Q and R are three typists who working simultaneously can type 216 pages in 4 hours. In one hour, R
can type as many pages more than Q as Q can type more than P. During a period of five hours, R can type as
many pages as P can during seven hours. How many pages does each of them type per hour ?
#Solution:
P+Q+R= 216/4= 54______[1]
R-Q= Q-P
=> R+P= 2Q
2Q+Q= 54
=> Q= 18 page/hr
And,
5R= 7P
=> R= (7P/5) ; put this value into [1]
P+18+(7P/5)= 54
=> 12P/5= 36
=> P= 15 page/hr
So, R= 7×15/5= 21 page/hr

So, B takes = (40/3)×3= 40 days
Again,
Let, C takes = 2y days
(A+B) takes = y days
ATQ,
1/2y+1/y= 1/10
=> 3/2y= 1/10
=> 2y= 30
So, C takes = 30 days
Lcm of 10, 30,40= 120

[Q-74]The probability of rolling any number on a weighted 6 sided die, with faces numbered 1 through 6, is
directly proportional to the number rolled. What is the probability of getting 5, if the die is rolled only once?
#Solution:
===
probability = individual probability / total probability = 5/(1+2+3+4+5+6)= 5/21
[N.B: Weighted probability means :: For example, if you were rolling a single six-sided die, you would have the
same probability of rolling a one as rolling any other number because each number will come up one out of six
times
Now,
Probability of rolling a 1 = 1 * m ( let m be any multiplier)
similarly rolling 2 = 2* m
..
rolling 6 = 6 * m
These are the possible outcomes and since the probability must be 1
so add these possible outcomes : 1m + 2m + . . . + 6m = 1
or m = 1/21]

to the profit on 5 oranges. What is the percentage point difference between the profit percentage and discount
percentage?
#Solution:
===
12CP= 9SP
=> CP:SP= 9:12
And, CP= (3SP/4)
Profit percentage = 9×100/12= 33(1/3)%
And,

1. A Container contains 192 liter of Milk. A seller draws out x% of Milk and replaced it with
the same quantity of water. He repeated the same process for 3 times. And thus Milk content in
the mixture is only 81 liter. Then how much percent he withdraw every time?
#Solution:
Initial mixture of milk= 192 L
A seller draws out = x% of milk.
x% of 192 3
ATQ,192×(1 − ) = 81
192
x 3 81
=> (1 − ) =
100 192
=> (1-x/100)^3= (3*27)/(3*64)
=> (1-x/100)^3= 27/81
=> (1-x/100)^3= (3/4)^3
=> (1-x/100)= 3/4
=> 1-3/4= x/100
=> 1/4= x/100

=> 4x= 100
=> x= 25%

02.A Jar contains 30 liters mixture of Milk and Water in the ratio of x:y respectively. When 10
liter of the mixture is taken out and replaced it water, then the ratio becomes 2:3. Then what is
the initial quantity of Milk in the Jar?
#Solution:
Here, Milk = x
Water = y
ATQ,
x+y= 30
=> y= 30-x
Now, 10 L mixture is removed and replaced by water,
So, Milk Remain= x-10*x/30= 2x/3
W Remain= y-10*y/30+10
=(2y+30)/3
ATQ,
(2x/3)/(2y+30)/3= 2/3
=> 2x/(2y+30)= 2/3
=> 6x= 4y+60
=> 6x= 4*(30-x)+60
=> 6x= 120-4x+60
=> 10x= 180
=> x= 18
So, Initial Milk= 18 L[Answer.]
03.A Container contains ‘X’ Liters of Milk. A thief stole 50 Liters of Milk and replaced it with
the same quantity of water. He repeated the same process further two times. And thus Milk in

Final mixture= X-122

Initial Mix= X
ATQ
X-122= X(1-50/X)^3
=> X-122/X= (1-50/X)^3
=> (X-122)/X= 1-150/X+7500/X^2-2500*50/X^3
=>X^2(X-122)= X^3-150X^2+7500X-1,25,000
=> X^3-122X^2+150X^2-7500X+125000=0
=> 28X^2-7500X+1,25,000= 0
=> 7X^2-1875X+31,250= 0
=> (X-250)(7X-125)= 0
=> X= 250 L
So, Final M= (250-122)= 128
So, Water= (250-128)= 122L(Answer.

the mixture and replaced same quantity with water. If the percent of Milk in final mixture is
64%, then what is the percentage of Milk in the initial mixture?
#Solution:
Final milk= 250*64/100= 160 L

Initial Milk= 250-250*x/100
= 250-5x/2
=(500-5x)/2
ATQ,
(500-5x)/2- 50*(500-5x)/2/250= 160
=> (500-5x)/2-(500-5x)/10= 160
=> (2500-25x-500+5x)/10= 160
=> 2000-20x= 1600

He then replaces it water. He repeated the process total three times. Every time while selling he
reduces selling price by Rs.2. After this process Milk left in the mixture is only 108 liters so he
decided to sell the entire Mixture at Rs. 15 per liter. Then how much profit did he earned if
bought Milk at Rs.20 per liter?
#Solution:
x*(1-25% of x/x)^3= 108

=> x(1-1/4)^3= 108
=> x= 108*4*4*4/(3*3*3)= 256 L
CP = (256*20)= 5120
SP= 256*15+ 25% of 256 *(20+18+16)

Rs.2.10 per kg and Rs.2.52 per kg. What is the ratio of price of cheaper to the costlier quality in
the mixture if the profit of 25% is being earned
#Solution:
Cost price of mixture =3*100/125= 3*4/5= 12/5= 2.40RS/kg
Let, the amount of first part= x kg
Amount of second part= y kg
ATQ,
2.10x+2.52y= 2.4(x+y)
=> 2.4x-2.10x= 2.52y-2.4y
=>. 30x=.12y
=> 30x= 12y
=> x:y= 12:30= 2:5
Alternative:
Let, the amount of first part= x

Amount of second part =y
Sell price of mixture= 3
Since, 25% profit,
SP of first part= 125% of 2.10
= 5*2.10/4= 10.50/4= 2.625
SP of 2nd part= 125% of 2.52= (5*2.52)/4= 3.15
ATQ,
2.625x+3.15y= 3(x+y)
=> 3x-2.625x= 3.15y-3y

profit of milkman in the whole transaction?
#Solution:
W:M= 2x:5x
Let water= 2x
Milk = 5x
So, Total = 7x
He sold = 70 L
Where, Milk= 70*5/7= 50 L

And Water= 20L
Now,
(5x-50)/(2x-20+20)= 15/8
=> 40x-400= 30x
=> 10x= 400
=> x= 40
So, Initial milk= 5*40= 200L
Milk CP= 200*27
Intially sold= 70*30= 2100 TK
Final W= 2*40= 80 L
Final M= 5*40-50= 150L
Final Total mix= (150+80)= 230 L

Total SP= 230*25+2100= 7850
And CP= 200*27= 5400
Profit= (7850-5400)= 2450[Answer.]

concentration. He needs to remove three-fourths of this solution and then add a new solution,
solution N, to create a third solution, solution P, with double the volume of solution M. What
must the calcium chloride concentration of solution N be to create a calcium chloride

concentration of 37.5% in solution P?
#Solution:
Initially solution contains = M L of solution
Where Calcium chloride= M*20/100= M/5 L
He removed 3M/4
So, M remain = (4M-3M)/4= M/4
Where calcium chloride remove = (3M/4)*(1/5)= 3M/20
So Calcium chloride now = M/5 – 3M/20= M/20
Now, N solution is added and finally the volume is double which means 2M Solution.
ATQ,
M/4+N= 2M
 N= 2M -M/4
 N = 7M/4
Finally, Calcium chloride = 2M*3/8= 3M/4 L

#Solution:
X_________450___________Y
L>_______________________<M
6:00______________________5:20
Speed of M= 80 km/hr
In 40 min M goes= 80*40/60= 160/3
Now, Distance between them=[450-160/3]= 1190/3
RS= 140
Time= (1190/3)*(1/140)= 17/6 hr

1. A gardener plants two rectangular gardens in separate regions on his property. The
first garden has an area of 600 feet and a length of 40 feet. If the second garden has a
width twice that of the first garden, but only half of the area, what is the ratio of the
perimeter of the first garden to that of the second garden? [Sonali Bank Cash Officer
(FF), 2019]
#Solution:
First Garden Area= 600 feet
L= 40 ft.
So, B= 600/40= 15
Perimeter= 2*(15+40)= 110
2nd garden W= 30
So, L= 300/30= 10
Perimeter= 2*(30+10)= 80
Ratio of perimeter= 110:80= 11:8[Answer.]

[Q_18] A and B started a business with initial investments in the respective ratio of
18:7. After four months from the start of the business, A invested Tk. 2000 more and
B invested Tk. 7000 more. At the end of one year, if the profit was distributed among
them in the ratio of 2:1 respectively, then what was the total initial investment with
which A and B started the business? [Sonali Bank Officer (FF), 2019]
#Solution:
A= 18x*4+8*(18x+2000)
= 216x+16,000
B= 4*7x+8(7x+7000)
= 84x+56,000
(216x+16,000)/(84x+56000)= 1/2

money did A and B contribute to the business? [Sonali Bank Cash Officer (FF), 2019]
#Solution:
Since total boys and girls = 16

Boys must multiple of 5 and girls must multiple of 3 so
Total boys = 10
Shorter boys = 10*1/5 = 2
Total girls = 6
Taller girls = 6*1/3 = 2
ATQ,
Shortest girl = 1 and Tallest boy = 1
Shorter boys = 2 and Taller girls = 2
So
Taller than shortest girls and shorter than tallest boy =(16-2-2-1-1)=10

26. A rectangular plot has a concrete path running in the middle of the plot parallel to the
breadth of the plot. The rest of the plot is used as a lawn, which has an area of 240 sq. m. If the
width of the path is 3m and the length of the path is greater than its breadth by 2 m, what is the
area of the rectangular plot? (in sq m)
#Solution:
Let, length of rectangle = x

Width = (x+2)
Given, width of path= 3m
Area of path= (x+2)*x-3x
ATQ,
x*(x+2)-3x= 240
=> x^2-x-240= 0
=> x^2-16x+15x-240= 0
=> x(x-16)+15(x-16)= 0

27. A pipe can fill a tank in 0.9 hours and another pipe can empty in 0.7 hours. If tank is
completely filled and both pipes are opened simultaneously then 450 liters of water is removed
from the tank is 2.5 hours. What is the capacity of the tank?
#Solution:
Pipe one can fill 0.9hr or (9/10)hr = 1 part

So, in 1 hr = 10/9 part
And, other can empty (7/10)hr = 1 part
So, in 1 hr = 10/7 part
So, in 1 hr total empty= 10/7-10/9= 20/63 part
So, in 2.5 hr = 50/63 part

Two pipes can separately fill a tank in 20 hours and 30 hours respectively. Both the pipes are
opened to fill the tank, but when the tank is 1/3 full a leak develops in the tank through which
1/3 of the water supplied by both the pipes leak out. What is the total time taken to fill the tank?
[বোছত্ কৃত্ ছররট _SO(18)]

#Solution:
Pipe one can fill a tank in = 20 hr
Pipe other can fill a tank in= 30 hr
So, (1/20+1/30) part in = 1 hr
=> 1/12 part in = 1 hr
=> 1 part in = 12 hr
Now, 1/3 water goes out which means extra time need = 12/3= 4 hr
So, total time = (12+4)= 16 hr[Answer.]
Alternative:
LCM of 20 & 30= 60
A= 3
B= 2
Total time need = 60/(3+2)= 12 hr
1/3 goes out means = 60/3= 20 L goes out.
Now, extra time= 20/(3+2)= 4 hr
So, total time = 12+4 = 16 hr[Answer.]

29. A, B & C are three partners of a business. A receives 2/3rd of the profit and the remaining
profit is equally shared by B and C. If A's income increases by tk 400 when the profit of the
business rises from 5% to 7%. Find the profit received by B?
#Solution:
Suppose,
Total Profit = x
→ So profit of A = 2x/3
→ Remaining Profit = x/3
→→ Profit of B = 1/2 × x/3 = x/6
→→ Profit of C = 1/2 × x/3 = x/6
So, ratio of profit, A : B : C = 2x/3 : x/6 : x/6 = 4 : 1 : 1
As, if nothing is clearly mentioned, profit is always distributed in the ratio of investment, we
can say, in the business the ratio of the investments of A, B, and C is = 4 : 1 : 1
Suppose,
A's investment is 4a. So, B's investment is a, and C's investment is a.
So, total capital of the business = 4a+a+a = 6a
If profit of the business rises from 5% to 7%, increase in the amount of profit = 6a* 2% = 0.12a
So, profit of A increases = 0.12a * 2/3 = 0.08a
According to the question,
0.08a = Tk. 400
a = 5000.
So, total capital in the business = 6a = 6×5000 = Tk. 30000

Total profit of the business, x = Tk. 30000 × 7% = Tk. 2100
Profit attributable to B = x/6 = 2100/6 = Tk. 350.
Answer: Tk. 350.[Answer.]

on parallel rails. How long will it take a man sitting in the second train to pass the first train if
they run in the opposite direction?
#Solution:
RS= [60+100] = 160 km/hr
Length= 200 m
[When question said, sitting in one train the length of that train is not added to length of other]
ATQ,
200= 160*5/18*T
=> 18/4 sec= T
=> T= 4.5 sec[Answer.]
===========================
[Q_2] A car traveled 80% of the distance from town A to B by traveling at T hours at an
average speed of V km/h. The car travels at an average speed of S km/h for the remaining part
of the trip. Which of the following expressions represents the average speed for the entire trip?
#Solution:
Original speed= V and goes 80% of Distance.
Let, Total Distance= 10 D

80% of Distance= 80% of 10D= 8D
And, Remain Distance= 2D
So, Time needed= 8D/V+2D/S
= (8DS+2DV)/VS
= 2D(4S+V)/VS
Since, D= 10 D
Avg. Speed= 10D/[2D(4S+V)/VS]
= 5VS/(4S+V)[Answer. ]

[Q_3]Andy lives on 10th floor and Bimal lives on 45th floor. Andy goes up at a rate of 34
floors per minute and Bimal comes down at a rate of 36 floors per minute. At which floor they
will meet?
#Solution:
Andy Speed= 34 F/M
And, Bimal Speed= 36F/M
Distance between then=[45-10]= 35F

Relative speed= [34+36]= 70F/M
Time needed= 35/70= 1/2 min
1/2 min Andy goes= 34/2= 17 F

So, they meet at= (10+17)= 27 F[Answer]
============================
[Q_4]Train X starts at 7.00 a.m. from a certain station with A Km/h and train Y starts at 9.30
a.m. from the same station at B km/h. If B > A, then how many hours will train Y take to
overtake train X?
#Solution:
[X,Y]________________________!
(7 am,9:30)_________________!
(A,B)________________________!
In 2.5 hr X goes= 2.5A

So, Distance= 2.5 A
RS= (B-A)
Time= 2.5A/(B-A)[Answer.]
============================
[Q_5]The average speed of a train is 20% less on the return journey than on the onward
journey. The train halts for an hour at the destination station before starting on the return
journey. If the total time taken for the to and fro journey is 46 hrs, covering a distance of 2000
km, the speed of the train on the return journey is:
#Solution:
Halts for an hour.

Total Time=[46-1]= 45 hour
Go+Back= 2000
So, Each= 1000
ATQ,
1000/(4V/5)+1000/V= 45
=> 5000/4V+1000/V= 45
=> 45V= 2250
=> V= 50 km/hr
So, Return journey speed= 4*50/5

= 40 Km/hr[Answer.]
============================
[Q_6] A train running at 7/11 of its own speed reached a place in 33 hrs. How much time could
be saved if the train runs at its own speed?

traveling in the opposite direction at 84 km/h in 6 s. It also passes a railway platform in 45 s.
The length of the platform is:
#Solution:
Let, first train Length= L
2nd train Length= L/2
ATQ,
L+L/2= [96+84]*5/18*6
=> 3L/2=300
=> L = 200
And,
200+x= 96*(5/18)*45
=> x= 1000m[Answer.]
============================
[Q_8] The train traveling at 50 km/h overtakes a motorbike traveling at 32 km/h in 80 s. What

[ Q_9] A train started from station A and proceeded towards station B at a speed of 96 km/h. 45
minutes later, another train started from station B and proceeded towards station A at 100 km/h.
If the distance between the two stations is 464 km, at what distance from station A will the
trains meet?
#Solution:
A_____________________B
96 km/hr____________100 km/hr
45 min train A travel alone.=45/60= 3/4 hr

In that time distance cover= (3/4)*96= 72 km
Remain D= (464-72)= 392 km

Relative Speed= (100+96)= 196 km/hr
Time= 392/196= 2 hr
In that time train B travel= 2*100= 200 km
A will meet at B from A starting=[464-200]= 264 km[Answer.]
=============================
[Q_10] A runs 3 2/3 times as fast as B. If A gives B a start of 80 m. How far must the winning
post be from the starting point of A so that A and B reach it at the same time?
#Solution:
A speed= 3(2/3) B= 11B/3
A:B= 11B/3:B= 11:3[Speed ratio]
Speed difference =[11-3]= 8

Distance difference = 80
8= 80
1= 10
11= 110m race.
Alternative:
A:B= 11:3
A cover distance= D
B cover distance= D-80
ATQ,
D/11= D-80/3
=> 3D= 11D-11*80
=> 8D= 880
=> D= 110 m[Answer]

=============================
[Q_1] The distance of the School and house of Suresh is 80km. One day he was late by 1 hour
than the normal time to leave for the college, so he increased his speed by 4km/h and thus he
reached to college at the normal time. What is the changed speed of Suresh?
#Solution:
H____________________S
!____800km__________!
Let, original speed= x

New speed= (x+4)
ATQ,
80/x-80/(x+4)= 1
=> (80x+320-80x)= x*(x+4)
=> 320= x^2+4x
=> x^2+4x-320= 0
=> x^2+20x-16x-320= 0
=> x(x+20)-16(x+20)= 0
=> x= 16
So, New speed= (16+4)= 20 km/hr
Alternative:
Let, new time= t
Original time= (t+1)
ATQ,
80/t-80/(t+1)= 4
=> (80t+80-80t)= 4t*(t+1)
=> 4t^2+4t-80= 0
=> t^2+t-20= 0
=> t^2+5t-4t-20= 0
=> t(t+5)-4(t+5)= 0
=> t= 4
New speed= 20/4= 80 km/hr[Answer.]
============================

#Solution:
H_______________________C
[___________D____________]
Let, Distance= D
Atq,
D/20-4/60= D/25+2/60
=> D/20-D/25= 6/60
=> D/100= 1/10
=> 10D= 100

[Q_3] Two places R and S are 800 km apart from each other. Two persons start from R towards
S at an interval of 2 hours. Whereas A leaves R for S before B. The speeds of A and B are 40
kmph and 60 kmph respectively. B overtakes A at M, which is on the way from R to S. What is
the ratio of time taken by A and B to meet at M?
#Solution:
R_______800__________S
Speed of A= 40kmph
Speed of B= 60 kmph
In 2 hr A goes= (40*2)= 80 km
RS= (60-40)= 20kmph
D= VT
=> 80= 20*T
=> T= 4
Time taken by A= [4+2]= 6hr
And, Time taken by B= 4 hr
Ratio of time taken byA:B= 6:4= 3:2[Answer.]============================
[Q_4] Two persons start from R towards S at an interval of 2 hours. Whereas A leaves R for S
before B. The speeds of A and B are 40 kmph and 60 kmph respectively. B overtakes A at M,
which is on the way from R to S. What is the extra time taken by A to reach at S?
#Solution:
A taken total time= 800/40= 20 hr
B taken total time= 800/60= 13 hr 20 min
Extra time taken by A= (20hr-13 hr 20 min)= 6 hr 40 min[Answer.]

[Q_5] Ajay covers certain distance with his own speed but when he reduces his speed by
10kmph his time duration for the journey increases by 40 hours while if he increases his speed
by 5 kmph from his original speed he takes 10 hours less than the original time taken. Find the
distance covered by him.
#Solution:
Let, ajay original speed = x
New speed of ajay= x-10
ATQ,
D/(x-10)-D/x= 40
=> D*[1/(x-10)-1/x]= 40
=> D*[x-x+10]= 40x*(x-10)
=> D= 4x(x-10)__________[1]
According to the 2nd condition,
D/x-D/(x+5)= 10
=> D*[1/x-1/(x+5)]= 10
=> D*(x+5-x)= 10*x(x+5)
=> D= 2x(x+5)___________[2]
From [1]& [2]

2x(x+5)= 4x(x-10)
=> x+5= 2x-20
=> x= 25 km/hr
So, D= 2*25*(25+5)= 50*30= 1500km
[Answer.]
============================
[Q_6] The driver of an ambulance sees a college bus 40 m ahead of him after 20 seconds, the
college bus is 60 meter behind. If the speed of the ambulance is 30 km/h, what is the speed of
the college bus?
#Solution:
Speed of Ambulence= 30km/hr
In 3600 sec= 30 km
In 20 sec= 600/3600= 1000/6 m= 500/3 m
In that time bus cover= [500/3-(40+60)]

= 200/3 m
So,
20sec= 200/3
1 sec= 10/3
So, Bus speed= 10/3 m/s

= (10/3)*(18/5)km/hr= 12 km/hr[Ans.]
===========================
[Q_7] Two places R and S are 800 km apart from each other. Two persons start from R towards
S at an interval of 2 hours. Whereas A leaves R for S before B. The speeds of A and B are 40
kmph and 60 kmph respectively. B overtakes A at M, which is on the way from R to S. What is
the distance from R, where B overtakes A?
#Solution:
R_______800__________S
Speed of A= 40kmph
Speed of B= 60 kmph
In 2 hr A goes= (40*2)= 80 km
RS= (60-40)= 20kmph
D= VT
=> 80= 20*T
=> T= 4
So meet at= 4*60= 240 km from R

[Ans]

[ Q_8] Two rabbits start running towards each other, one from A to B and another from B to A.
They cross each other after one hour and the first rabbit reaches B, 5/6 hour before the second
rabbit reaches A. If the distance between A and B is 50 km. what is the speed of the slower
rabbit?
#Solution:
Let,
Faster rabbit speed= x km/hr
Slower rabbit speed = y km/hr
A___x______!____y_____B
In 1 hr they meet for the first time.
When they meet first time they cover the full distance.
So, x+y= 50km
=> x= 50-y
And,
50/y-50/x= 5/6
=> 50/y-50/(50-y)= 5/6
=> 6*[2500-100y]= 5y*(50-y)
=> 15,000-600y= 250y-5y^2
=> 5y^2-850y+15,000= 0
=> y^2-170y+3000= 0
=> y^2-150y-20y+3000= 0
=> y= 150,20
[150 is not possible, since summation of two speed= 50.

So y= 20]
Slower rabbit speed= 20 km/hr[Answer.]

[Q_9]Pranav walked at 5 kmph for certain part of the journey and then he took an auto for the
remaining part of the journey travelling at 25 kmph. If he took 10 hours for the entire journey,
what part of journey did he travelled by auto if the average speed of the entire journey be 17
kmph
#Solution:
Let, 5 km/hr time taken= t
And 25 km/hr time taken = (10-t)
Total distance= 17*10= 170 km

ATQ,
5*t+(10-t)*25= 170
=> 20t= 80
=> t= 4
So, time taken by Auto = (10-4)= 6 hr,
So, D= 25*6= 150 km
Alternative:
25____________5

[Q_10] Aravind started for the station half a km from his home walking at 1 km/h to catch the
train in time. After 3 minutes he realised that he had forgotten a document at home and returned
with increased, but constant speed to get it succeded in catching the train. Find his latter speed
in kmph?
#Solution:
Time at hand = (30-3)= 27 min
Distance remain= 550 m
27 min = 550 m
27*60 sec= 550m
1 sec= 550/(27*60)
= 55/(27*6)*(18/5)
= 22/18= 11/9 km/hr[Answer.]

[Q_1] A car started from Indore to Bhopal at a certain speed. The Car missed an accident at
40Kms away from Indore, then the driver decided to reduce Car speed to 4/5 of the original
speed. Due to this, he reached Bhopal by a late of 1hr 15min.Suppose if he missed an accident
at 80Km away from Indore and from then he maintained 4/5 of original speed then he would
reach Bhopal by a late of 1hour. Then what is the original speed of the Car?
#Solution:
Distance diff.= [80-40] = 40 km
Time difference = 1 hr 15 min- 1 hr
= 15 min
Let,
Original speed= V
New speed= 3V/4
ATQ,
40/(4V/5)-40/V= 15/60
=> 200/4V-40/V= 1/4
=> 50/V-40/V= 1/4
=> 10/V= 1/4
=> V= 40 km/hr[Answer.]
=============================
[Q_2] Two places A and B are at a certain distance. Ramu started from A towards B at a speed
of 40 kmph. After 2 hours Raju started from B towards A at a speed of 60 kmph. If they meet at
a place C then ratio of ratio of time taken by Raju to Ramu to reach Place C is 2:3. Then what is
the distance between A and B?
#Solution:
Ramu take = T1 hr
Raju take = T2 hr
Diff. Between time= T1-T2= 2
=> T1= T2+2
ATQ,
T2/T1= 2/3
=> T2/(T2+2)= 2/3
=> 3T2= 2T2+4
=> T2= 4 hr
So, Ramu take = [4+2] = 6 hr

And Raju take= 4 hr
So, Total Distance = 6*40+4*60= 480 km[Answer.]

============================
[Q_3] Ramu started from A towards B at a speed of 20Km/hr and Raju started from B towards
A. They crossed each other after one hour. Raju reached his destination 5/6 hour earlier than
Ramu reached his destination.Then what is the distance between A and B?
#Solution:
Ramu_________M__________Raju
Ramu speed= 20 km/hr

Let, Raju speed = x km/hr
After 1 hr they meet. So Raju cover = x km and Ramu covered= 20 km.
So, Total Distance= 20+x
ATQ,
(20+x)/20-(20+x)/x= 5/6
=> [x(20+x)-20*(20+x)]/20x= 5/6
=> (20x+x^2-400-20x)/20x= 5/6

=> 6(x^2*400)= 100x
=> 6x^2*-2400-100x= 0
=> 3x^2-50x-1200= 0
=> 3x^2-90x+40x-1200= 0
So, x= 30
So, Raju speed = 30 km/hr[Answer.]

speed by 1 Km/hr for every hour. Then what is the distance traveled by car B when the both the
Cars meet for the first time?
#Solution:
Let, they meet after = t hr
So, Distance= 12 t
ATQ,
12 t= t/2*{2*4+(t-1)*1}
=> 24=8+t-1
=> t= 17 hr
So, D= [17*12]= 204 km[Answer.]

[Q_11] Sofi started travelling from a place A to B and Priya started travelling from a place B to
A which are 576 km apart. They meet after 12 hours. After their meeting, Sofi increased her
speed by 2 km/hr and Priya reduced her speed by 2 km/hr, they arrived at B and A respectively
at the same time. What is their initial speed?
#Solution:
A___________M__________B
Sofi speed (initially)= x km/hr

Priya= y km/hr
Relative speed= x+y

When they meet for first time they both cover 12x and 12y distance which is equal to total D.
So, AM= 12x
MB= 12y
ATQ,
12x+12y= 576
=> 12*(x+y)= 576
=> x+y= 48
Accroding to the 2nd condition,

Sofi speed= x+2
And, priya = y-2
So
12y/(x+2)= 12x/(y-2)
Or, 12y^2-24y= 12x^2+24x
Or, 12y^2-12x^2= 24*(x+y)

Or, 12*(y^2-x^2)= 24*48[Since x+y= 48]
Or, y^2-x^2= 2*48

Or, y^2= x^2+96
Or, (48-x)^2= x^2+98[y= 48-x]
Or, 48*48+x^2-96x-96-x^2= 0
Or, 96x= 48*48-96
Or, x= 23 km/hr
Since,
x+y= 48
=> y= 48-23= 25 km/hr[Answer.]

So, In first hr= (8+4)= 12 km

2nd= (12+8+5)= 25
3rd= (25+14)= 39
4th= (39+15)= 54
5th= (54+16)= 70
6th= (70+17)= 87
7th= 87+18= 105
8th= 105+19= 124
9 th = 124+20= 144
So, In 9 hr they both meet.

So, Meet at= 9*8= 72 km [Answer.]

In a 3600 m race around a circular track of length 400m, the faster runner and the slowest
runner meet at the end of the fourth minute, for the first time after the start of the race. All the
runners maintain uniform speed throughout the race. If the faster runner runs at thrice the speed
of the slowest runner. Find the time taken by the faster runner to finish the race.
#Solution:
Fast runner and slow runner meet in 4 min after they started their race.
So,Circular Track length= 400m

Faster:Slower= 3:1[Speed]
So, when faster cover the first round slower cover= 1/3 of the round.
So, distance between them= 1/3
Speed difference =(3-1)= 2
Time= 1/3*2= 1/6
So, slower goes in 1/6 time= 1/6*1= 1/6
And total= (1/3+1/6)= 1/2
And faster= (1+1/2)= 3/2
So, In 4 min faster goes= 3/2*400= 600 m

for the first time after they start is 20 sec and the time taken by 13 to complete the race is 52
minutes and 5 seconds. Find the time taken (in seconds), for all the twenty six men to meet for
the first time at the starting point.
#Solution_
The speed are increasing in Arithmetic progression.
First one speed= a
2nd one speed= a+d
3rd one speed= a+2d
And, so on.....
So, speed of 26= a+(26-1)*d= a+25d
Distance= 100m
Atq,
D/V= T
=> 100/25d= 20
=> d= 1/5= 0.2m/sec
13 to complete the race in = [52*60+5] = 3125 sec
Speed of 13= a+12d= a+12*0.2= a+2.4

ATQ,
10*100)/(a+2.4)= 3125
=> (a+2.4)*3125=10000
=>3125a= 2500

distance of 11 km from Y. B reached Y, turns back and meet C at a distance of 9 km from Y. If
the ratio of the speeds of A and C is 3:2, what is the distance between X and Y?
#Solution:
A= x+11
B= x-11
A/B= (x+11)/(x-11)
And, B= x+9
C= x-9
B/C= (x+9)/(x-9)
A/C= (A/B)*(B/C)= (x+11)/(x-11)*(x+9)/(x-9)= 3/2
=> (x+11)(x+9)/(x-11)*(x-9)= 3/2

=> 2*[x^2+9x+11x+99]= 3*[x^2-9x-11x+99]
=> 2x^2+40x+198= 3x^2-60x+3*99
=> x^2-100x+99=0
=> x^2-99x-x+99= 0
=> x= 99,1

[Q_2]James started from his home and drove eastwards at a constant speed. Exactly 90 minutes
after James stated from his home, his brother Patrick started from the same point and drove in
the same direction as James did at a different constant speed. Patrick overtook James exactly 90
minutes after Patrick started his journey and then continued driving at the same speed for
another 2 hours. By what percentage should Patrick reduce his speed so that James could catch
up with Patrick in exactly 8 hours after Patrick overtook James?
#Solution:
Let, james 180 min covers= 180 km
So, James speed= 180/1.5= 60 km/hr
And patrick goes this distance in = 3/2 hr
So, Patrick speed= 180*2/3= 120 km/hr
And, now patrick continues his running with 120 km/hr for 2 hr.
In 2 hr patrick goes= 240 km
Now, Distance cover by james in 8 hr= 8*60= 480

So, Remaing distance= (480-240)= 240
Patrick has to cover this distance in 6 hr. In that time his speed assume V km/hr
ATQ,
6V= 240
=> V= 40
Speed reduce by patric= (120-40)= 80 km/hr
% reduce= 80*100/120= 400/6= 200/3= 66.67% [Answer]

[Q_5]A woman is planning a trip that involves 3 connecting trains that depart from Stations X,
Y, and Z, respectively. The first train leaves Station X every hour, beginning at 6 a.m., and
arrives at Station Y 1(3/4) hours later. The second train leaves Station Y every half hour,
beginning at 9 a.m., and arrives at Station Z 2(1/3) hours later. The third train leaves Station Z
every 45 minutes, beginning at 8 a.m. What is the least total amount of time the woman must
spend waiting between trains if all trains depart and arrive on schedule, and if she arrives at
Station Z no later than 3:30 p.m.?

Trains depart from X at 6/7/8/9
and reach Y at 7:45/8:45/9:45 etc

Trains depart from Y at 9/9:30/10/10:30 etc.
[ This means a minimum wait of 15 mins is required at Y.

They arrive at Z at 11:20/11:50/12:20/12:50. They depart from Z at
8/8:45/9:30/10:15/11/11:45/12:30 and so on]
. Note that if she arrives at Z at 20 mins past the hour, she will need to wait for at least 10 mins
for 12:30/3:30 etc train. If she arrives at 50 mins past the hour, again she needs to wait for at
least 10 mins to take the 2 o clock train. So anyway 10 mins at Z is a given.
So minimum she will need to wait for 15+10 = 25 mins.
