Answer : 3. "35 and 11 years"
Explanation :

Answer: C) 35 and 11 years Explanation: Let the age of sushma be x and the age of her son is yThen five years before x-5=5(y-5) ...(1)Five years hence x+5 = 3(y+5)-8 .....(2) By soving (1) & (2), we get5y - 15 = 3y + 7y = 11 => x = 35 Therefore, the age of Sushma = 35 and her son = 11.

Answer : 1. "68 kmph"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 68 kmph Explanation: Let the speed of the faster train be 'X' kmph, Then their relative speed= X - 48 kmphTo cross slower train by faster train, Distance need to be cover = (400 + 600)m = 1 km. and Time required = 180 sec = 180/3600 hr = 1/20 hr.Time = Distance/Speed => 1/20 = 1/(x-48)X = 68 kmph

Q: A bus starts from point A to reach at B at 6 am at 60 kmph speed. Another bus starts from point B to reach at A at 50 kmph speed at 8 am. The distance between the two points is 450 km, find at what time both buses will meet. 4181 0

Answer : 3. "90 min"
Explanation :

Answer: C) 90 min Explanation: Let X = Time taken for each of Type B Problems(100 Problems)And 2X = Time taken for each of Type A problems(50 problems) Total time period = 3hrs = 3 x 60min = 180 minutes 100X + 50(2X) = 180100X + 100X = 180200X = 180 min X = 180/200X = 0.90 min By convertiing into seconds, X = 0.90 x 60 secondsX = 54 sec So, time taken for Part A problems is = 54 x 2 x 50 = 5400 seconds= 5400/60sec = 90 minutes.

Answer : 2. "30 min"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 30 min Explanation: Distance travelled by Ramu = 45 x 4 = 180 km Somu travelled the same distance in 6 hours. His speed = 180/6 = 30 km/hr Hence in the conditional case, Ramu's speed = 45 - 9 = 36 km/hr and Somu's speed = 30 + 10 = 40km/hr. Therefore travel time of Ramu and Somu would be 5 hours and 4.5 hours respectively. Hence difference in the time taken = 0.5 hours = 30 minutes.
