Speed of bus = 36 kmph.
= 36 × 5 m/sec. = 10 m/sec. 18
∴ Distance covered in 1 second = 10 metreCorrect Option: A
Speed of bus = 36 kmph.
= 36 × 5 m/sec. = 10 m/sec. 18
∴ Distance covered in 1 second = 10 metre

Time taken by bus moving at 60 kmph = t hours
Distance = Speed × Time∴ 60 × t = 45 × t + 11 2 ⇒ 60t – 45t = 45 × 11 2 ⇒ 15t = 45 × 11 2 ⇒ t = 45 × 11 = 33 15 × 2 2 = 60 × 33 = 990 km. 2 Correct Option: C
Time taken by bus moving at 60 kmph = t hours
Distance = Speed × Time∴ 60 × t = 45 × t + 11 2 ⇒ 60t – 45t = 45 × 11 2 ⇒ 15t = 45 × 11 2 ⇒ t = 45 × 11 = 33 15 × 2 2 = 60 × 33 = 990 km. 2

Speed of train = 116 kmph
= 116 × 5 m/sec. 18 = 580 m./sec. 18
∴ Required distance
= Speed × Time= 580 × 18 metre 18
= 580 metreCorrect Option: D

Distance covered by train in
15 hours = Speed × Time
= (60 × 15) km. = 900 km.
Required speed to cover 900 km.in 12 hours = 900 = 75 kmph 12 Correct Option: C
Distance covered by train in
15 hours = Speed × Time
= (60 × 15) km. = 900 km.
Required speed to cover 900 km.in 12 hours = 900 = 75 kmph 12
