1. After traveling 108 km, a cyclist observed that he would have required 3 hrs less if he
could have traveled at a speed 3 km/hr more. At what speed did he travel? [BDBL-(SO)-

Or, x2 + 3x - 108 = 0
Or, x2 + 12x - 9x - 108 = 0
Or, x(x+12)-9(x-9) = 0
Or, (x+12)(x-9) = 0
So either (x-9) = 0 Or ,(x+12) = 0
If (x-9) = 0 Then x = 9
If (x+12) = 0 Then x= -12
 The speed 9km/hr ( science speed, x ≠ -12)

He traveled at a speed of 9 km/hr Ans: 9 km/hr.

2. The distance between two stations ‘X’ and ‘Y’ is 450 km. A train L Starts at 6:00 pm
from X and moves towards Y at an average speed of 60 km/h. Another train M starts

So, Train M started 6.00-5.20 = 40 minutes earlier. (cÖ_‡g †h ïiæ K‡i‡Q †m 40 wg GKvB †M‡Q )
Now,

3. A motorist and a cyclist start from A to B at the same time. A to B is 18 km. The speed
of motorist is 15km/hr more than the cyclist. After covering half the distance, the

8. A train after traveling for 50km meets with an accident and then proceeds at 3/4
of its former speed and arrives at its destination 35 minutes late . Had the
accident occurred 24 km farther, it would have reached the destination only 25
minutes late. What is the speed of the train.what is the total distance?
ratio method...
Original : Present So, in 30 min goes 24km & in 60 mins goes
Speed= 4 : 3 48km.
Time = 3:4 Speed 48 kmph
Time gap = 4-3= 1
Now, 1 part is for (35-25) = 10 min Again original time gap was 35 mins.
So, 3 part is 30 mins. To, Make the ratio 35. 4:3 = 140:105
Now, in 60 mins goes 48 km. Total distance = 50+84= 134 km
So, in 105 mins goes 48*105/60= 84 km

14. A train approaches a tunnel AB. Inside the tunnel is a cat located at a point that is 3/8 of
the distance AB measured from the entrance A. When the train whistles, that cat runs.
If the cat moves to the entrance A of the tunnel, the train catches the cat exactly at the
entrance. If the cat moves to the exit B, the train catches the cat at exactly the exit. The
ratio of the speed of the train to that of the cat is of the order (AB Uv‡b‡ji w`‡K GKwU †Uªb

See the picture. Let, the length of the tunnel = AB = 8x and the cat is in point C (fMœvsk †_‡K)
So, distance of the cat from entrance A = 3x and distance from the exit B is 8x-3x = 5x
Now, let the distance of the train from the entrance A = y

In first case, train goes = y and cat goes = 3x so, ratio of distance or speed = y:3x =

coming towards the bridge from the ends nearest to the cow. Seeing this, cow ran
towards the train and managed to escape when the train was 2m away from the bridge.
If it had run at the opposite direction, it would hit by the train 2m before the end of the
bridge. What is the length of the bridge in meters assuming the speed of the train 4

So, when the dog start chases distance between hare and dog = 100m+200m = 300m
Relative speed in 1 hr = 16km/hr – 12km/hr = 4km/hr

The dog runs at relative speed 4000 meter in 60min  300 m in, = = min
