Let the speed in return journey be x km/hr. 47. a
Then, speed in onward journey =(125/100)x = (5/4)x km/hr SP = 24000
So. Speed in onward journey = [(5/4)*45] km/hr = 56.25 km/hr
From statement I
37. (b) 6(2/3) days SP/CP=5/3
M1D1H1/E1W2 = M2D2H2/E2W1 (From MDH Rule) CP = 144,00
Efficinecy of first grp : 2nd grp = 2*2 :4*1 = 1:1 ∴ % profit =(24000 - 14400)/14000×100=68.5%
Now, D2 = M1D1H1E1W2 / M2H2E2W1 From statement II
D2 = 30*4*10*1*2 / 45*8*1*1 It is not clear that CP is greater than or less than SP.
