Walking at 6/7 of his usual speed, a man reaches his destination 10 minutes late. What is his usual time to reach the destination? MCQ with Answer and Explanation
Two outposts M and N are 320 km apart. Train A leaves M for N at 40 km/h at 6:00 AM. Train B leaves N for M at 60 km/h at 8:00 AM. At what time will they cross?
Two points P and Q are 240 km apart. Train A starts from P towards Q at 60 km/h at 9:00 AM. Train B starts from Q towards P at 80 km/h at 10:00 AM. At what time will they meet?
Explanation:
By 10:00 AM, Train A covers 60 km. Remaining distance = 240 - 60 = 180 km. Relative speed = 60 + 80 = 140 km/h. Time to meet after 10 AM = 180 / 140 = 9/7 hours = 1 hour and 17 minutes. Meeting time is 11:17 AM.
