Time and Distance

1.Excluding stoppages, the speed of a bus is 54 kmph and including stoppages, it is 45 kmph. For how many minutes does the bus stop per hour?
A.10 min
B.12 min
C.18 min
D.15 min
E.None of these
Answer – A (10 min)
Explanation – Due to stoppages, it covers 9 km less.Time taken to cover 9 km = (9/54 x 60) min = 10 min

2.A motor car starts with the speed of 70 km/hr with its speed increasing every two hours by 10 kmph. In how many hours will it cover 345 kms?
A.4 hrs
B.4 hrs 5 mins
C.4 1/2 hrs
D.2 hrs
E.None of these
Answer – C (4 1/2 hrs)
Explanation – Distance covered in first 2 hours = (70 x 2) km = 140 km
Distance covered in next 2 hours = (80 x 2) km = 160 km
Remaining distance = 345 – (140 + 160) = 45 km.
Speed in the fifth hour = 90 km/hr
Time taken to cover 45 km = as speed is 90km/hr means it covers 90 km in 1 hour
so,if 90km………..1 hr
45km……….?
?=45/90hr=1/2hr
Total time taken = 2 + 2 +1/2=4 (1/2)hrs

3.A person travels from P to Q at a speed of 40 kmph and returns by increasing his speed by 50%. What is his average speed for the both the trips?
A.35 kmph
B.4o kmph
C.48 kmph
D.55 kmph
E.None of these
Answer – C (48 kmph)
Explanation – Speed on return trip = 150% of 40 = 60 kmph
Average speed =
[2 x 40 x 60] / [40 + 6]km/hr =4800/100km/hr = 48 km/hr.

B. 5 : 3 : 4
C. 15 : 9 : 20
D. 15 : 20 : 12
Answer: D(15 : 20 : 12) 
Explanation: Ratio of speeds = 4 : 3 : 5
Therefore Ratio of times taken [t=d/s or t indirectly proportional to s when distance is same]= (1/4) : (1/3) : (1/5) = 15 : 20 : 12

D.62 kmph
E.None of these
Answer – C (60 kmph) 
Explanation – Number of gaps between 21 telephone posts = 20 Distance traveled in 1 minute = (50 x 20) m = 1000 m = 1 km
Speed = 60 km/hr

Logical puzzle

1.You work at a fruit factory.
There are 3 crates in front of you. One crate contains only apples. One crate contains only oranges. The other crate contains both apples and oranges. And each crate is labeled. One reads "apples", one reads "oranges", and one reads "apples and oranges". But the labeling machine has gone crazy and is now labeling all boxes incorrectly. If you can only take out and look at just one of the pieces of fruit from just one of the crates, how can you label ALL of the crates correctly?

Answer:Take a piece of fruit from the "apples and oranges" crate. If it's an apple then you know that is the "apples" crate since ALL THE CRATES ARE LABELED INCORRECTLY. This means the crate marked "apples" must be "oranges" and the crate marked "oranges" must be "apples and oranges".

2.There are three boxes in a table. One of the box contains Gold and the other two are empty. A printed message contains in each box. One of the message is true and the other two are lies. The first box says 'The Gold is not here'. The Second box says 'The Gold is not here'. The Third box says 'The Gold is in the Second box'. Which box has the Gold?

Answer:As the message contains one truth, the third says that the gold is in the second box, if it is to be true, then the first box message will also become true. So Gold cannot be in second and third boxes. Gold is in the first box.

3.Miss Anne has eleven kids in her class. She has a bowl containing eleven apples. Now Miss Anne want to divide the eleven apples to the kids, in such a way that a apple should remain in her bowl. How can Miss Anne do it?

Clock puzzles

1.How many times in a day, are the hands of a clock in straight line but opposite in direction?
20 22 24 48

Explanation: The hands of a clock point in opposite directions (in the same straight line) 11 times in every 12 hours. (Because between 5 and 7 they point in opposite directions at 6 o'clcok only). So, in a day, the hands point in the opposite directions 22 times.

 2.A watch which gains uniformly is 2 minutes low at noon on Monday and is 4 min. 48 sec fast at 2 p.m. on the following Monday. When was it correct?
2 p.m. on Tuesday 2 p.m. on Wednesday 3 p.m. on Thursday 1 p.m. on Friday

Explanation: Time from 12 p.m. on Monday to 2 p.m. on the following Monday = 7 days 2 hours = 170 hours.Watch is correct 2 days 2 hrs. after 12 p.m. on Monday i.e., it will be correct at 2 p.m. on Wednesday

 3.At 3.40, the hour hand and the minute hand of a clock form an angle of:
125º 130º 120º 135º

Explanation: Angle traced by hour hand in 12 hrs. = 360º. Angle traced by it in Angle traced by minute hand in 60 min. = 360º. Angle traced by it in 40 min. Required angle (240 - 110)º = 130º.

 4.A clock is started at noon. By 10 minutes past 5, the hour hand has turned through
145º 150º 155º 160º

Explanation: Angle traced by hour hand in 12 hrs = 360º. Angle traced by hour hand in 5 hrs 10 min. = 155º

Time and Distance – Boats

1. A boat takes 4hours for traveling downstream from point P to point
   Q and coming back to point P upstream. If the velocity of the stream is 2km
   ph and the speed of the boat in still water is 4kmph, what is the distance
   between P and Q?A.9 km
   B.7 km
   C.5 km
   D.6km
   
   Answer

   Answer- D
   Basic Formula:
   Speed of stream = ½ (a-b) km/hr
   Speed of still water = ½ (a+b) km/hr
   Explanation:
   Time taken by boat to travel upstream and downstream = 4 hours
   Velocity of the stream, ½ (a-b) = 2km/hr
   a-b = 4km/hr ……………….( 1)
   velocity of the boat in still water = ½ (a+b) = 4km/hr
   a+b = 8 km/hr ………………(2)
   1 +2 we get a = 6 km/hr ,b = 2km/hr
   let the distance between A and B be x km
   x / 2 + x / 6 = 4
   3x + x / 6 = 4  4x = 24 so,x = 6
   distance between P and Q = 6km

2.Speed of a boat in standing water is 9kmph and the speed of the
stream is 1.5kmph. A man rows to a place at a distance of 10.5 km and
comes back to the starting point. Find the total time taken by him.A.24 hours
B.16 hours
C.20 hours
D.15 hours

Answer

Answer- A
Basic Formula:
i. speed = distance traveled / time taken
ii. speed of the stream = ½ (a-b) km/hr
iii. speed in still water = ½ (a+b) km/hr
Explanation:
Speed in still water= ½ (a+b) = 9km ph
= a+b = 18 …………….1
speed of the stream = ½ (a-b) = 1.5 kmph
= a-b = 3 kmph…………2
solving 1 and 2 gives a = 10.5km/hr ; b=7.5 kmphr
Total time taken by him = 105/10.5 + 105/7.5 = 24 hours

3.A man rows to a place 48km distant and back in 14 hours. He finds
that he can row 4km with the stream in the same time as 3km against the
stream. Find the rate of the stream.A.2 km/hr
B.1.1km/hr
C.3 km/hr
D.3.5km/hr

Answer

Answer- B
Basic Formula:
Speed of the stream = ½ (a-b) km / hr
Speed = distance traveled / time taken
Explanation:
Suppose he moves 4km downstream in x hours
Then, downstream a= 4 / x km/hr
Speed upstream b = 3/ x km/hr
48 / 4 /x + 48 / 3/x = 14
x/4 + x/3 = 14/48 = 1/4
3x + 4x / 12 = 1/4
7x x 4 = 12 so,x = 3/7
a=28/3 km/hr ,b = 7km/hr
rate of stream = ½ (28/3 – 7 )
= 7/6 = 1.1 km/hr
