Let the required distance be x km, then
x − x = 12 = 1 5 6 60 5 ⇒ 6x − 5x = 1 ⇒ x = 1 30 5 30 5
⇒ x = 6 km.Correct Option: A
Let the required distance be x km, then
x − x = 12 = 1 5 6 60 5 ⇒ 6x − 5x = 1 ⇒ x = 1 30 5 30 5

Let the speed of train be x kmph and that of car be y kmph,
then60 + 240 = 4 ...(i) x y and, 100 + 200 = 25 x y 6 ⇒ 4 + 8 = 1 ...(ii) x y 6
By equation (i ) – equation (ii) × 3060 + 240 − 120 − 240 = 4 – 5 x y x y ⇒ − 60 = − 1 x
⇒ x = 60 kmphCorrect Option: B

Ratio of the speed of A and B
= A : B = 2 : 1 = 6 : 3
B : C = 3 : 1
∴ A : B : C = 6 : 3 : 1
∴ Ratio of their time taken= 1 : 1 : 1 = 1 : 2 : 6 6 3 ∴ Time taken by B = 2 × 114 minutes 6
= 38 minutesCorrect Option: B
