Explanatory Answers
1. (c) Let the length of total journey be km.

Page 4 of 7
QA-6 (B) (Time, Speed & Distance, Races & Games)

km.
2. (a) Man’s rate down stream km/hr = 7.2 km/hr.
Man’s rate upstream = km/hr.
Let required distance be km.
Then

3. (a) Suppose that the man takes hours to cover 4 km downstream and hours to cover 3 km upstream.
Then,

Rate upstream km/hr


and rate downstream km/hr
Rate of stream km/hr.
4. (d) Speed of the train relative to man km/hr
( ) ( ) m/sec
Distance covered by it in passing the man = m
Time taken in passing the man ( )
5. (c) A : B = and B : C =
A:C=
So, A beats C by (100 – 72) = 28 metres.
6. (i) (c) Nakul meets Arjunafter every
Nakul meets Bhishma after every
Therefore, all of the three would meet after every 60 seconds. (60 = LCM of 20 and 30).
Hence, they would all meet for the first time after 60 seconds.
(ii) (d) ) Arjun takes to complete one round
Bhisma takes to complete one round
and Nakul takes 12 s to complete one round
Hence, they would meet for the first time at the starting point after 60 seconds
7. (d) Let the speed of the runner be v km/hr and the runner stops at midpoint for time t min.
His speed while going from A to B = (v + 2) km/hr.
The time he takes to go from A to B
As he stops for time t min at midpoint of AB,
The total time taken by him = * +

Page 5 of 7
QA-6 (B) (Time, Speed & Distance, Races & Games)

When the runner is moving from B to A his speed = (v – 2) km/hr.


The time taken by him =
As he stops for time 2t min at midpoint of AB,
The total time taken by him = * + * +

km/hr
Hence, option (d)
8. (b) Let the time taken by A be hrs, therefore time taken by B will be – hrs
From the problem statement

hrs
Distance between cities kms
Distance between A and B is 360 kms.
9. (c) Speed of A miles/min
Suppose speed of B = x miles/min.
According to the question, A walked miles before meeting B in his return path, so B would
have walked – miles before meeting but B walked 4 minutes less than A.

Speed of B
B’s speed is a mile in minutes.
10. (a) Let the time taken by train B be
Time taken by train
New speed of train original speed
Time taken by train after engine problem [Time /Speed]
ATQ,
This is 3 hours more than time taken by A

Speed of A = Distance/Time km/hr


11. (c) Let the speed of the boat be C and the velocity of the stream be V.
Hence,
and

Adding both the equations to eliminate V, we have

Hence, the time taken by the boat to cover 24 km in still water h


12. (d) Let the speed of the water current be km/hr
Downstream:
While going downstream,
Total speed = speed of the boat + speed of the water current

Page 6 of 7
QA-6 (B) (Time, Speed & Distance, Races & Games)

Total speed
Distance covered = 4.8 km
Time taken = 8 min = hrs
We know that
Speed = Distance/Time

Thus, speed of the Current is 2 km/hr


(The same can be confirmed using the upstream condition where the total speed will be the difference
between the speed of the boast and that of the current)
13. (b) Distance covered = Speed × Time
Distance
= 2420
Hence distance is 2420 feet.
14. (b) Let the Distance Covered by Freight train = Passenger Train = D kms
Speed of Passenger Train = 60 km/hr
Time taken by Passenger Train to Travel distance D = 4 Hrs
Time taken by Freight Train to Travel Distance D = (4+2)= 6 Hrs
Distance = Speed × Time
= Speed Freight × Time Freight ........ (i)
Distance Passenger = Speed Passenger × Time Passenger ........ (ii)
= Distance Passenger
Speed Freight × Time Freight = Speed Passenger × Time Passenger
Speed Freight × 6 = 60 × 4
Speed Freight = 40 km/hr
15. (b) Let the distance between the city A and city B be km.
Speed of car km/hr
Speed of car 2 = 60 km/hr
We know that,
Time = Distance/Speed
Time taken by car to travel from city A to city B
Time taken by car 2 to travel from city A to city B
( one car takes 2 hours lesser time than the other car)

The distance between City A and City B = 280 km
