Answer : 1. "5 kmph"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 5 kmph Explanation: Let p be the speed of man in kmph According to the given data in the question, Distance travelled by bus in 10 min with 20 kmph == Distance travelled by man in 8 min with (20 + p) kmph in opposite direction => 20 x 10/60 = 8/60 (20 + p) => 200 = 160 + 8p => p = 40/8 = 5 kmph.

Answer : 2. "264 km"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 264 km Explanation: Let the distance travelled by Tilak in first case or second case = d kms Now, from the given data, d/20 = d/22 + 36 min => d/20 = d/22 + 3/5 hrs => d = 132 km. Hence, the total distance travelled by him = d + d = 132 + 132 = 264 kms.
