1.Question: In a Mixture of 35 litres, the ratio of milk and water is 4:1 . Another 7
litres of water is added to the mixture. Find the ratio of milk and water in the
resulting mixture
a)2:1

b) 1:2

c) 2:3

d) 2:5

The Answer is a) 2: 1 - simple: total mixture 35 litrs- Total ratio: 4: 1 i.e

each ratio 35/5 =7. after mixing 7 ltrs of water total ratio 4:2 i.e 2:1
2 )A train covers a distance in 50 min ,if it runs at a speed
of 48kmph on an average.The speed at which the train must run
to reduce the time of journey to 40min will be.
A) 50 Kmph B) 60 Kmph C) 70 Kmph D) 80 Kmph
The Answer is B) 60 Kmph
Solution::
Time=50/60 hr=5/6hr
Speed=48mph
distance=S*T=48*5/6=40km
time=40/60hr=2/3hr
New speed = 40* 3/2 kmph= 60kmph

3)Vikas can cover a distance in 1hr 24min by covering 2/3 of

the distance at 4 kmph and the rest at 5kmph.the total
distance is?
A)

5 Km B) 4 Km C) 6 Km D) 7 Km

Answer is B) 4 Km

Solution::
Let total distance be S
total time=1hr24min
A to T :: speed=4kmph
distance=2/3S
T to S :: speed=5km
distance=1-2/3S=1/3S
21/15 hr=2/3 S/4 + 1/3s /5
84=14/3S*3
S=84*3/14*3
= 6km
4)walking at of his usual speed ,a man is late by 2 hr.
the usual time is.
A) 5 hours B) 6 Hours C) 7 hours D) 8 Hours
Answer is C) 7 Hours

Solution::
Usual speed = S
Usual time = T
Distance = D
New Speed is S
New time is 4/3 T
4/3 T T = 5/2
T=15/2 = 7

5)A man covers a distance on scooter .had he moved 3kmph

faster he would have taken 40 min less. If he had moved
2kmph slower he would have taken 40min more.the distance is.
A) 40 B) 50 C) 60 D) 70
Answer is A) 40 Kms
Solution::
Let distance = x m
Usual rate = y kmph
x/y x/y+3 = 40/60 hr
2y(y+3) = 9x 1
x/y-2 x/y = 40/60 hr y(y-2) = 3x 2
divide 1 & 2 equations
by solving we get x = 40
6)Excluding stoppages,the speed of the bus is 54kmph and
including stoppages,it is 45kmph.for how many min does the bus
stop per hr.
A) 5 Min B) 6 Min C) 7 Min D) 10 Min
Answer is D) 10 Min

Solution::
Due to stoppages,it covers 9km less.
time taken to cover 9 km is [9/54 *60] min = 10min
7)Two boys starting from the same place walk at a rate of
5kmph and 5.5kmph respectively.wht time will they take to be
8.5km apart, if they walk in the same direction
A) 17 Hours B) 18 Hours C) 19 Hours D) 20 Hours

Answer is A) 17 Hours
Solution::
The relative speed of the boys = 5.5kmph 5kmph = 0.5 kmph
Distance between them is 8.5 km
Time= 8.5km / 0.5 kmph = 17 hrs

8) 2 trains starting at the same time from 2 stations 200km

apart and going in opposite direction cross each other ata
distance of 110km from one of the stations.what is the ratio of
their speeds.
A) 11 B) 12 C) 11.9 D) 12.9
Answer is C) 11.9

Solution::
In same time ,they cover 110km & 90 km respectively
so ratio of their speed =110:90 = 11:9
9)Two trains start from A & B and travel towards each other at
speed of 50kmph and 60kmph resp. At the time of the meeting the
second train has traveled 120km more than the first.the distance
between them.
A) 400 B) 500 C) 550 D) 600
Answer is D) 600
Solution::

Let the distance traveled by the first train be x km

then distance covered by the second train is x + 120km
x/50 = x+120 / 60
x= 600
so the distance between A & B is x + x + 120 = 1320 km
10) A thief steals a ca r at 2.30pm and drives it at 60kmph.the
theft is discovered at 3pm and the owner sets off in another car
at 75kmph when will he overtake the thief

A) 4 PM B) 5 PM C) 6 PM D) 7 Pm
Answer is B) 5 PM
Solution::
Let the thief is overtaken x hrs after 2.30pm
distance covered by the thief in x hrs = distance covered by
the owner in x-1/2 hr
60x = 75 ( x- )
x= 5/2 hr
thief is overtaken at 2.30 pm + 2 hr = 5 pm
11)In covering distance,the speed of A & B are in the ratio
of 3:4.A takes 30min more than B to reach the destion.The time
taken by A to reach the destination is.
A) 1 Hr B) 2 Hr C) 3 Hr D) 4 Hr
Answer is B) 2 Hr
Solution::
Ratio of speed = 3:4
Ratio of time = 4:3
let A takes 4x hrs,B takes 3x hrs
then 4x-3x = 30/60 hr
x = hr
Time taken by A to reach the destination is 4x = 4 * = 2 hr
