Man’s speed = Distance Time = a kmph b = 1000a m/hour b
∴ Time taken in walking 200 metre= 200 = b hours 1000a/b 5a Correct Option: B
Man’s speed = Distance Time = a kmph b = 1000a m/hour b
∴ Time taken in walking 200 metre= 200 = b hours 1000a/b 5a

Speed of train = Distance Time = 10 kmph (12/60) = 10 × 60 = 50 kmph 12
New speed = 45 kmph∴ Required time = 10 hour 45 = 2 × 60 minutes 9 = 40 minutes 3
= 13 minutes 20 secondsCorrect Option: B
Speed of train = Distance Time = 10 kmph (12/60) = 10 × 60 = 50 kmph 12
New speed = 45 kmph∴ Required time = 10 hour 45 = 2 × 60 minutes 9 = 40 minutes 3
= 13 minutes 20 seconds

Distance covered on foot = 4 × 3 3 km. = 15 km. 4
∴ Time taken on cycle= Distance = 15 hour Speed 16.5 = 15 × 60 minutes = 54.55 minutes 16.5 Correct Option: B
Distance covered on foot = 4 × 3 3 km. = 15 km. 4
∴ Time taken on cycle= Distance = 15 hour Speed 16.5 = 15 × 60 minutes = 54.55 minutes 16.5

Time = 10 1 hours 2 = 21 hours 2
Speed = 40 kmph
Distance = Speed × Time= 40 × 21 = 420 km 2 Correct Option: A
Time = 10 1 hours 2 = 21 hours 2
Speed = 40 kmph
Distance = Speed × Time= 40 × 21 = 420 km 2
- Two men start together to walk a certain distance, one at 4 km/h and another at 3 km/h. The former arrives half an hour before the latter. Find the distance.

If the required distance be x km, then
x − x = 1 3 4 2 ⇒ 4x − 3x = 1 12 2 ⇒ x = 1 ⇒x = 6 km 12 2
Second Method :
Here S1 = 4, t1 = xS2 = 3, t2 = x + 1 2
S1t1 = S2t24 × x = 3 x + 1 2 4x – 3x = 3 x = 3 2 2 Distance =4 × 3 = 6 kms 2 Correct Option: C
