The speed of thief is 60 km/hr, so he has covered 30 km in 30 minutes. The ratio of speeds of thief and police is 60: 80 or 3: 4. Excluding the first 30 minutes, the thief and the police have run for the same time. So the distance covered is in the ratio of their speeds i.e. 3: 4. Since, the initial distance between the thief and the police if 30 km, so in total, thief and police have covered 90 km and 120 km respectively (to make the ratio 3:4). 30) In this question, Amit and Bimal are moving towards each other. So their relative speed is 20 + 24 = 44 km/hr. The speed of the bird is 176 km/hr. Now, the logic is simple. The bird flies for the same time as both Amit and Bimal take to meet. Since the time taken by Amit and Bimal together and the bird is same, so the distance covered will be in the ratio of their speeds. The ratio of the speeds is 44: 176 or 1: 4. Hence, if Amit and Bimal cover 800 m, the bird will cover 800*4 = 3200 m. ‘Scanned with CamScanner Scanned with CamScannerMAT Bittu Mishra Chapter-3 9593751369 Solution Exercise — 2 1) Here the Distance is constant, so the Time taken will be inversely proportional to the Speed. Ratio of Speed is given as 30:120, ie. 1:4 So the ratio of Time taken will be 4: returning is 1 hour. Distance = 30x Total Time taken = 5 hours Time taken while going is 4 hours and =120km 2) Let the usual Speed be S1 and usual Time be T1. As the Distance to be covered in both the cases is ‘same, the ratio of usual Time to the Time taken when he is late will be the inverse of the usual Speed and the Speed when he is late Ifthe Speed is S2 = 94S1 then the Time taken T2 = 4/3 T1 Given T2—T1 = 10 =>4/3 T1 —T1 = 10 => 11 = 30 minutes. 3) Let the Distance between home and office =d ‘Suppose he reaches the office on Time, the Time taken = x minutes Case 1: When he reaches office 20 minutes late, Time taken = x+20 Case 2: when he reaches office 10 minutes early, Time taken = x-10 As the Distance traveled is the same, the ratio of Speed in case 1 to the Speed in case 2 will be the inverse of the Time taken in both cases Ratio of Speed in both cases 23 Ratio of Time in both cases Therefore (x+20)/(x-10)=3/2 2x+40 = 3x -30 x= 70 minutes Taking case 1, 4= d/(90/60)=> d= 360/60 = 6 km 4) Method 4: Using Inverse Proportionality Case 1: accident happens at 50 km Case 2: accident happens at 60 km Difference between two cases is only for the 10 kms between 50 and 60.Time difference of 10 minutes is only due to these 10 kms. In case 1, 10 kms between 50 and 60 is covered at (3/4)‘th Speed. In case 2 , 10 kms between 50 and 60 is covered at usual Speed. So the usual Time ‘t” taken to cover 10 kms , can be found out as below. 4/3 t-t = 10 mins = > t= 30 mins, d = 10 kms ‘so usual Speed = 10/30min = 10/0.5 = 20 km/hr Method 2: Using Constant Product Rule Let the actual Time taken be T There is a (1/4)th decrease in Speed, this will result in a (1/3)rd increase in Time taken as Speed and Time are inversely proportional (A tix increase in one of the parameters will result in a 1/(x+1) decrease in the other parameter if the parameters are inversely proportional) ‘The delay due to this decrease is 10 minutes Thus 1/3 T= 10 and T=30 minutes or % hour Also, Distance = 10 km ‘Thus Speed = 20 kmph Now you have two techniques to choose from for this application level question! ‘Scanned with CamScanner Scanned with CamScannermaT Bittu Mishra Chapter- 9593751369 5) Suppose the Speed of the river is ‘y’ kmph. While rowing upstream he takes 2 hrs and while rowing downstream he takes 1 % hours. As the Distance covered is constant the ratio of the net Speeds of the boat while going upstream and downstream will be the inverse of the ratio of the Time taken. Ratio of Time taken (downstream: upstream) = 1.5/2 =3/4 So the ratio of Speed of boat (downstream: upstream) = 4/3, ‘Speed downstream: 10 + y Speed upstream : 10-y (10+y)(10-y) ) = 4/3 30+3y=40-4y. Thus, 7y=10 & Y=10/7 ‘Speed of river = 10/7 kmph 6) This is an instance of Case 1 as illustrated above. When Ram meets Shyam for the third Time, they together would have covered a Distance of 5d, i.e 5x30m = 150 m. Ratio of Speed of Ram and Shyam = 2:1, so the total Distance traveled by them will also be in the ratio 2:1 as the Time taken is constant. So the Distance traveled by Ram will be 2/3 x150= 100 m 7) 37.5 kmphis incorrect as the time travelled is different in both the cases and only the distances are same. Let distance = x km ‘Therefore, Time taken on Big Bull's onward joumey =x/30 hours and Time taken on his retun jouey=x/45 hours. Therefore, total time = (x/30)+ (»/45) hours. Total distance = 2x km, x Average speed= (x/30)* (x/45) kmph = 36kmph 8) We know that 1 hour = 60 minutes Therefore, 15 minutes = 1/4 hours (because 15/60 = 1/4) Distance = Speed * Time Distance = 40 * (1/4) = 10 kms 9) Distance = Speed * Time 60=50°T T= 1.2 hrs or 1 hr and 12 minutes 10) Usual = 50 minutes; Present = 60 minutes 14) 36 kph 12) Speed of CTU bus : Speed of ordinary bus: 3: As Distance » Speed.

Time taken to cover 4 km = 4 km/4 km / hr = 1 hr= 60 minutes Time left = 84 — 60 = 24 minutes Now, the man has to cover remaining 2 km in 24 minutes or 24 / 60 = 0.4 hours => Speed required for remaining 2 km = 2 km/0.4 hr= 5 km/hr 17) Let time taken by postman to travel from post office to village=t minutes. According to the given situation, distance from post office to village, say d1=25/60*t km {25 km/hr = 25/60 km/minutes} ‘And distance from village to post office, say d2=4/60*(174-1) km {2 hours 54 minutes = 174 minutes} Since distance between village and post office will always remain same i.e. d1 = d2 => 25/60°t = 4/60°(174-1) => t= 24 minutes. Distance between post office and village = speed*time =>25/60°24 = 10km 18) Let the distance between his home and the station be ‘d’ km. Time required to reach the station at 5 km/ hr= d/5 hours => Time required to reach the station at 6 km / hr = d/6 hours Now, the difference between these times is 12 minutes = 0.2 hours. (7 minutes late — 5 minutes early = (7) (5) = 12 minutes) ‘Therefore, (d/ 5) — (4/6) = 0.2 d/30=0.2 =>d=6 ‘Thus, the distance between his home and the station is 6 km. 19) The train leaving from B leaves an hour early than the train that leaves from M. => Distance covered by train leaving from B = 65 km/hr x 1 hr= 65 km Distance left = 465 — 65 = 400 km Now, the train from M also gets moving and both are moving towards each other. Applying the formula for relative speed, Relative speed = 65 + 35 = 100 km/hr => Time required by the trains to meet = 400 km / 100 km / hr = 4 hours ‘Thus, the trains meet at 4 hours after 11 AM, i.e., 3 PM. ‘Scanned with CamScanner Scanned with CamScannermaT Bittu Mishra Chapter-3 9593751369 20) Since both are running in the same direction, relative speed = 10 — 8 = 2 km/hr Now, to catch the robber f he were stagnant, the policeman would have to run 300 m. But since both are moving, the policeman needs to finish off this separation of 300 m. 300 m (or 0.3 km)is to be covered at the relative speed of 2 km/hr. => Time taken = 0.3/2 = 0.15 hours Therefore, distance run by robber before being caught = Distance run in 0.15 hours => Distance run by the robber = 8 x 0.15 = 1.2 km Another Solutio Time of running for both the policeman and the robber is same. We know that Distance = Speed x Time => Time = Distance / Speed Let the distance run by the robber be ‘x’ km at the speed of 8 km / hr. => Distance run by policeman at the speed of 10 km/ hr=x+0.3 Therefore, x/ 8 = (x + 0.3)/ 10 => 10x=8 (x+0.3) => 10x28x+2.4 =>2x=24 =>xe12 ‘Therefore, Distance run by the robber before getting caught = 21) 120 kine .2km 22) 54 krvhr 23) 132 km (24) 18 km/hr 25) 36 miles 26) 80 km 27) 3 hrs 28) 60 min 29) 25 km 30) 3 hrs 12 min ‘Scanned with CamScanner Scanned with CamScanner
