A car covers four successive 7km distances at speeds of 10 km/hour, 20 km/hour, 30 km/hour and 60 km/hour respectively. Its average speed over this distance is
30 km/hour
20 km/hour
60 km/hour
60 km/hour
If a man walks at the rate of 5 km/hour, he misses a train by 7 minutes. However if he walks at the rate of 6 km/hour, he reaches the station 5 minutes before the arrival of the train. The distance covered by him to reach the station is
6 km

A man starts from a place P and reaches the place Q in 7 hours. He travels of the distance at 10 km/hour and the remaining distance at 12 km/hour. The distance between P and Q is
72 km
90 km

A car can finish a certain journey in 10 hours at the speed of 42 kmph. In order to cover the same distance in 7 hours, the speed of the car (km/h) must be increased by
12
15
18
18
C.
18
Distance covered by car = Speed x Time = 42 x 10 = 420 km.
New time = 7 hours
Thus, Required increase in speed = (60 - 42) kmph = 18 kmph
On a river, Q is the mid-point between two points P and R on the same bank of the river. A boat can go from P to Q and back in 12 hours, and from P to R in 16 hours 40 minutes. How long would it take to go from R to P?
31⁄3 hours
5 hours
32⁄6 hours
71⁄3 hours
A man travels for 14 hours 40 min. He covers half of the journey by train at the rate of 60 km/hr and rest half by road at the rate of 50 km/hr. The distance travelled by him is
