c) 7.5hr

Distance between Jaipur to Goa = 1150

Distance between Pune to Goa = 1150-150=1000

Time taken =  1000/133.3=~7.5

d) 230 km/hr

Average time taken=12+8=20/2=10

Time taken to travel Jaipur – Goa=10 – 5=5

Speed =1150/5= 230 km/hr

3) If the speed of the train maintained from Mumbai – Delhi below the speed of train Delhi-Pune what will be average speed of Mumbai – Delhi and Delhi – Pune?

a) 220km/hr

speed of the train is not  mentioned  from Mumbai – Delhi.

So we cannot find average speed.

4) Average distance travelled by the train from all the station is 1114 then what will be total distance covered from Delhi-Pune , Pune – Goa and Mumbai to Pune?

a) 3200 km

b) 3470 km

b) 3470 km

Total distance travelled by train from all the station = 1114×5=5570

Remaining Distance = 5570-2100 = 3470 km

5) What will be the speed of the train from Mumbai-Pune If it halts 20 min for every 2 hours of journey and its distance is 450 km more than Mumbai-Delhi?

a) 175.5km/hr

b) 155.5km/hr

Total time taken to travel form Mumbai to Pune = 8 hrs

Due to halt 20 mins for every 2hrs = 9 hrs to complete the journey

Distance between  Mumbai to Pune= 950 + 450= 1400

speed =  1400/9= 155.5 km/hr

Direction 6-10): Study the following chart carefully and answer the questions below:

6)  What is the approximate average speed of buses A,B and C?

a) 53.72 km/hr

b) 54.25 km/hr

c) 60.2 km/hr

d) 53.5 km/hr

e) 67.85 km/hr

=  475/7=67.85km

7)  Due to stoppages if bus F runs 100km/hr. What would be delayed by stoppages (minutes)?

a) 10minutes

b) 45minutes

c) 25minutes

d) 1hr 15minutes

e) 30minutes

Click here to View Answer

e) 30minutes

In Normal time taken by bus F = t = 2hr 30 min

Due to stoppages time taken by bus F =300/100= 3hr

required delay time = 30 min
