Q: Ramu rides his bike at an average speed of 45 km/hr and reaches his desitination in four hours. Somu covers the same distance in six hours. If Ramu covered his journey at an average speed which was 9 km/hr less and Somu covered his journey at an average speed which was 10 km/hr more, then the difference in their times taken to reach the destination would be (in minutes). 3899 05b5cc6e5e4d2b4197774ed15

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.

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.
