c. 20/3 minutes d. 40/3 minutes

2. A and B run a race on a track of 600 m with speeds of 12 m/sec and 30 m/sec
respectively. If they start from same point, find the least time after which they will meet
together at a point diametrically opposite to start point?

a. 60 seconds b. 80 seconds

c. 90 seconds d. Never

3. Two cars race around a circular track at constant speeds starting simultaneously
from the same point. If they travel in the SAME direction, they meet after every 2
minutes. And if they travel in OPPOSITE directions, they meet after every 30 seconds.
Find the time taken after which they will meet for the first time at the STARTING point.

a. 2 minutes b. 4 minutes

c. 8 minutes d. cannot be determined

4. Two cars race around a circular track of length 1800 m at constant speeds starting
simultaneously from the same point. If they travel in opposite directions, then they meet

5. There is a swimming pool with three connected lanes forming an equilateral triangle.
Two swimmers A and B simultaneously start swimming at constant speeds in opposite
directions from point P (A following the path PQRPQR... and B following the path

the second time at a point Y on PR which is 4 m from P. Find the ratio of speeds of A and
B

6. A and B start running on a circular track from the same point P, but A runs in
clockwise direction and B runs in anticlockwise direction. They meet for the first time at
a distance of 120 metres from P measured in the clockwise direction and for the second
time at a distance of 240 metres from P measured in anti-clockwise direction. Find the
track length if it is known that the track length is more than 360 metres.

a. 400 m b. 440 m c. 480 m d. 500 m
