Let two trains meet at a km from X 97). A car starts running with the initial speed of 40 km/h with
its speed increasing every hour by 5 km/ h. How many hours
[Time taken by M to cover (450 - a) km] - will it take to cover a distance of 385 km?

[Time taken by L to cover a km] A). 8 1/2 h B). 9 1/2 h

View Answer Detailed answer Report Error

=(450−a)80−a60=4060
Correct Answer: 7 h

(450−a)8−4060+a60 Required number of hours is the number of terms of the series


40 + 45 + 50 + ..... as speed increases every hour.
=(450−a)8−(a+40)6=0
Given, sum of the series is 385
=3(450−a)−4(a+40)=0
Therefore, a=40, d=5, s=385 and n=?
7a=1190
Using = S=n2(2a+(n−1)d)
a=11907=170

Time taken by L to cover 170 km

= 385=n2(80+5n−5)
=17060h=2h50min
770=5n2+75n

n2+15n−154=0
So, the two trains will meet 2 h 50 min after 6 : 00 pm.
n2+22n−7n−154=0
It means that the two trains will meet at 8 : 50 pm.
n(n+22)−7(n+22)=0

Correct Answer: 32 min

Correct Answer: 188 seconds


Let speed of A = 5X

A wins by 60 m or 12 seconds.
Then, speed of B = 6X

If B starts 12 seconds before A, A and B will finish the race at


Given that, speed of B = 6X = 90
the same time.
x=906=15
if B starts 60 m ahead of A, A and B will finish the race at the
same time.

This means B takes 12 seconds to run 60 m.


Speed of A = 5x=5×15=75km/h

21 | P a g e
Compiled by Ekhlasur Rahman. Bsc & Msc(Statistics). Begum Rokeya University,Rangpur.

Therefore, B runs at 6012 th as fast as B. i.e 54th as fast as B.

= 5m/seconds 5m/sec, When A runs 5 meters, B runs 4 meters.

Hence, B will take 10005 Therefore, if the length of race is 5m, then A will win by 1 m.

In this race, A wins by 25 meters.


= 200 seconds to complete the race.

Therefore, the length of the race will be 5 times the lead = 25×5
As A wins by 12 seconds, A will take 12 seconds lesser to
complete the race.
= 125 meters.
Thus A will complete the race in 200 - 12 = 188 seconds.

99). A takes 3 min 45 seconds to run a kilometer, while B takes


4 minutes to run a kilometer. If A and B were to participate in a
race of 2 kms, by how many meters will A win the race?

A). 135 meter B). 125 meter

C). 110 meter D). 140 meter

View Answer Detailed answer Report Error

Correct Answer: 125 meter

A takes 3 min 45 sec to run a kilometer, while 8 takes 4 minutes.


That is, B takes 15 more seconds to complete a kilometer. So, A
will win the race by 2×15

=30 sec.

To measure the distance by which A will win, we need to find


the distance that B will run in 30 seconds.

We know that B takes 4 minutes to run a km. so his speed is


10004

= 250 m/min = 25060 m/sec

Therefore, in 30 seconds B will run a distance of 25060×30

= 125 meter;

Therefore. in a 2 km race, A wins by 125 m.

length of the race?
