Speed Time and Distance ( 11 to 15 ):
APTITUDE QUESTIONS (SPEED TIME AND DISTANCE):
11. A man on tour travels first 160 km at 64 km/hr and the next 160 km at 80 km/hr. What will be the average speed for the first 320 km of the tour?
A) 30 km/hr
B) 60 km/hr
C) 71.11 km/hr
D) 70 km/hr
E) None of these
View Answer
Answer: option (C)
Explanation:
Let total time taken = (160/64+160/8 ) hrs = 9/2 hrs.
∴ Average speed = (320*2/9 ) km/hr = 71.11 km/hr
12. A train running at 7/11 of its own speed reached a place in 22 hours. If the train run at its own speed, than how much time could be saved?
A) 7 hours
B) 8 hours
C) 14 hours
D) 16 hours
E) None of these
View Answer
Answer: option (B)
Explanation:
New speed = 7/11 of usual speed
∴ New time = 11/7 of usual time
So, 11/7 of usual time = 22 hrs => usual time = ((22 * 7 )/11) = 14 hrs.
So, time saved = (22 – 14) = 8 hrs.
13. A man can reach a certain place in 30 hours. If the man speed is reduced by 1/15 th. Then he goes 10km less in that time. Find his speed.
A) 4 km/hr
B) 5 km/hr
C) 51/2 km/hr
D) 6 km/hr
E) None of these
View Answer
Answer: option (B)
Explanation:
Let the speed be x km/hr.
So, 30x – 30 * (14/15)x = 10 2x = 10 x = 5 km/hr
14. Excluding stoppages, the speed of a bus is 54 kmph and including stoppages, it is 45 kmph. So, for how many minutes does the bus stop per hour?
A) 9
B) 10
C) 12
D) 20
E) None of these
View Answer
Answer: option (B)
Explanation:
Due to stoppages, it covers 9 km less.
Let time taken to cover 9 km = (9/54*60) min = 10 min.
15. In covering a certain distance of 30 km, Ram takes 2 hours more than Arjun. If Ram doubles his speed, then he would take 1 hour less than Arjun. Ram’s speed is:
A) 5 kmph
B) 7 kmph
C) 6 kmph
D) 8 kmph
E) None of these
View Answer
Answer: option (A)
Explanation:
Let Ram’s speed be x km/hr.
So, 30/x- 30/2x = 3 6x = 30 x = 5 km/hr
