    C) 3 : 1
    D) 3 : 5

    Distance of first part of his journey = x
    Distance of first part of his journey = y
    x/30 + y/60 = (x + y)/40
    6x + 2y = 3x + 3y
    x/y = 3:1

    Total Journey in Km = 19.8 * 10 = 198 km

    3/4 of speed = 4/3 of original time
    4/3 of original time = original time + 18 minutes;
    1/3rd of original time = 18 minutes;
    Thus, original time = 18*3 = 54 minutes.
  6. Mr. Ravi completes a certain journey by a car. If he covered 40% of the distance at the speed of 20kmph, 50% of the distance at 25 kmph and the remaining of the distance at 10 kmph, then what will be the speed?

    So speed = 100/[(40/20)+(50/25)+(10/10];
    speed = 100/[(2)+(2)+(1)];
    = 100/[5]
    = 20 kmph.

    C) 128 km
    D) 120 km
    E) None of these
    View Answer
    Option D
    Solution:

    Total distance = 18*10 = 180
    Journey traveled by auto = x hours
    30 * x + (10-x )10 = 180
    30x + 100 – 10x = 180
    20x = 80
    x = 4 hours
    Distance traveled by auto = 4 * 30 = 120 km

    C) 2.2 kmph
    D) 3.5 kmph

    A) 10 kmph
    B) 15 kmph
    C) 25 kmph
    D) 18 kmph
    E) 20 kmph
    View Answer
    Option E
    Solution:

    Let speed of faster rabbit = x
    & speed of slower rabbit = y
    x + y = 60/1.2
    x + y = 50 —- (A)
    60/y – 60/x = 1 —- (B)
    Solve equations, we get y = 150 and 20 bt y cannot be 120 as x+y = 50. So y = 20 kmph and x = 30 kmph
  10. Walking at 3/2 of his normal speed Sehwag takes 40 minutes less than the usual time. What is the new time taken by Sehwag?
    A) 6 hours
    B) 5 hours
    C) 4 hours
    D) 8 hours
    E) 2 hours
    View Answer
    Option E
    Solution:

    3/2 of speed = 2/3 of original time
    2/3 of original time = original time – 40 minutes;
    1/3rd of original time = 40 minutes;
    Thus, original time = 40*3 = 120 minutes = 2 hours
