Answer : 3. "12 kmph"
Explanation :

Answer: C) 12 kmph Explanation: Let the distance traveled be x km.Then, x/10 - x/15 = 23x - 2x = 60 => x = 60 km.Time taken to travel 60 km at 10 km/hr = 60/10 = 6 hrs.So, Robert started 6 hours before 2. p.m. i.e., at 8 a.m.Required speed = 60/5 = 12 kmph.

Answer : 2. "50 gm"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 50 gm Explanation: Initial quantity of copper =80100 x 50 = 40 g  And that of Bronze = 50 - 40 = 10 g Let 'p' gm of copper is added to the mixture => 50 + p x 90100 = 40 + p => 45 + 0.9p = 40 + p => p = 50 g Hence, 50 gms of copper is added to the mixture, so that the copper is increased to 90%.

Answer : 3. "12 kmph"
Explanation :

Answer: C) 12 kmph Explanation: The distance is constant in this case. Let the time taken for travel with a speed of 10 kmph be 't'. Now the speed of 15 kmph is 3/2 times the speed of 10 kmph. Therefore, time taken with the speed of 15 kmph will be 2t/3 (speed is inversely proportional to time) Extra time taken = t - 2t/3 = t/3 => 1pm - 11am = 2hrs => t/3 = 2h => t = 6 hrs. Now, Distance = speed x time = 10 x 6 = 60 kms Time he takes to reach at noon = 6 - 1 = 5 hrs Now, Speed = 60/5 = 12 kmph.
