Correct Answers:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
D D B D B D B B B A
Explanations:
1. Let the walked up at a distance of x km. then

x x 36
+ =4
2.5 3.25 60
10x 100x 3
⇒ + =4
25 325 5
130x + 100x 23
⇒ =
325 5
230x 23
⇒ =
325 5
⇒ 10x = 65 ⇒ x = 6.5 km
Hence, option D is correct.
2. Let the distance be x km.

And time taken by car = 2hr 20 mins
20 1 7
= 2 = 2 = hrs
60 3 3
Distance = Speed × Time

7
= × 45 = 105 km.
3
3. Let the distance be x and the difference between time taken = 15 – (–15) = 30 mins = hr.
Time taken when travelled at 3 km/hr (slower) – Time taken when travelled at 4 km/hr (faster) = Difference in
time = hr
x x 1
– =
3 4 2
4x – 3x 1
⇒ = ⇒ x = 6 km.
12 2
Hence, option B is correct.

4. Let the distance be 1 Km. then,
Total distance travelled

Average speed =
Total time taken
1+1
=
1 1
(x + y )
2
=
x+y
( xy )
2xy
=
x+y
5. Let the distance be x and the difference in time taken by the father and the son = 60 + 60 = 120 mins = 2
hrs. (The son reaches 2 hours faster than the father.)
Time taken by the father – Time taken by the son = 2 hours
x x
– =2
12 18
3x – 2x
⇒ = 2 ⇒ x = 72 km
36
6. Given,
Distance = 92 km, Relative Speed = 5 + 6.5 = 11.5 km/h
Distance 92
∴ Reqd. Time = = =8h
Relative speed 11.5

7. Radius of the wheel = 2.1 m and time taken to do given number of revolutions = 1 min = 1/60 hr
Distance covered in 1 revolution = 2πr
22
= 2 × × 2.1
7
Distance covered in 75 revolutions;

22
= 75 × 2 × × 2.1
7
= 990 m = 0.99 km
0.99
Reqd. speed = = 59.4 km/h
1/60
8. Let the distance be x km. then,

Time taken by slower train – Time taken by faster train = Difference in time
x x
– = 1 pm – 11 am
10 15
3x – 2x
⇒ = 2 ⇒ x = 60 km
30
At 10 km/hr speed a man takes 6 hr and reach at 1 pm

At 15 km/hr speed a man takes 4 hr and reach at 11 am
Similarly, to reach the destination at 12 pm (the mid value of the given points of time) he will take 5 hrs (the
mid value of given periods of time).
So, the speed of the person
60
= = 12 km/hr
5
9. Let the distance be x km. then,

Time taken by the slower car – Time taken by the faster car = 2 hours
x x
– =2
30 45
3x – 2x
⇒ = 2 ⇒ x = 180 km.
90

10. Distance covered in 1st 2 hours = 2 × 20 = 40 km
∴ Remaining distance = 100 – 40 = 60 km
Speed in the rest of the journey = 10 km/hr
Time taken in the rest of the journey
60
= = 6 hours
10
∴ Average speed
Total Distance 100 100

= = =
Total Time 2+6 8
= 12.5 km/hr
Hence, option A is correct.
