    Speed of bus = 36 kmph.

    =
    36 ×
    5
    m/sec. = 10 m/sec.
    18

    ∴  Distance covered in 1 second = 10 metre

  1. Two buses travel to a place at 45 km./hr. and 60 km./hr. respectively.
    If the second bus takes 5
    1
    hours
    2
    less than the first for the journey, the length of the journey is :

    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.

    Correct Option: C

    Time taken by bus moving at 60 kmph = t hours
    Distance = Speed × Time

    ∴  60 × t = 45 × t +
    11

    5
    m/sec.
    18

    =

    ∴  Required distance
    = Speed × Time
    =

  1. To cover a certain distance with a speed of 60 km/hr, a train takes 15 hours. If it covers the
    same distance in 12 hours, what will be its speed?









  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    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
