Time taken in walking both ways = 7 hours 45 minutes ....(i)
Time taken in walking one way and riding back = 6 hours 15 minutes ....(ii)
By equation (ii) × 2 – (i), we have Time taken by the man to ride both ways
= 12 hours 30 minutes – 7 hours 45 minutes
= 4 hours 45 minutesCorrect Option: C

Abhay’s speed = x kmph
Sameer’s speed = y kmph∴ 30 − 30 = 2 ...(i) x y and, 30 − 30 = 1 ...(ii) y 2x
On adding,30 − 30 = 3 x 2x ⇒ 60 − 30 = 3 2x ⇒ 30 = 3 ⇒ 6x = 30 2x
⇒ x = 5 kmphCorrect Option: A

1 − 5 of time taken by B 6
=1 hour 15 minutes
∴ Time taken by B
= 1 hour 15 minutes × 6
=7 hours 30 minutesCorrect Option: C
1 − 5 of time taken by B 6
=1 hour 15 minutes
∴ Time taken by B
= 1 hour 15 minutes × 6
=7 hours 30 minutes

Let the required distance be x km.
Difference of time = 15 + 5 = 20 minutes= 1 hour 3
According to the question,x − x = 1 ⇒ 6x − 5x = 1 35 42 3 210 3 ⇒ x = 1 210 3 ⇒ x = 210 = 70 km. 3 Correct Option: A

- Two guns are fired from the same place at an interval of 6 minutes. A person approaching the place observes that 5 minutes 52 seconds have elapsed between the hearing of the sound of the two guns. If the velocity of the sound is 330 m/sec, the man was approaching that place at what speed (in km/hr) ?

Difference of time
= 6 min. – 5 min. 52 sec.
= 8 seconds
Distance covered by man in 5 min.52 seconds
= Distance covered by sound in 8 seconds
= 330 × 8 = 2640 m.∴ Speed of man = 2640 m 5 min. 52 sec. = 2640 m/sec 352 = 2640 × 18 kmph 352 5
= 27 kmphCorrect Option: B
