4) An aeroplane first flew with a speed of 440 kmph and covered a certain distance. It still had to cover 770 km less than what it had already covered but it flew with a speed of 660 kmph. The average speed for the entire flight was 500 kmph. Find the total distance Covered?
a) 3250 km
b) 2750 km
c) 4400 km
d) 1375 km
e) None of these
Explanation
Let the plane covers x km with 440 kmph and (x – 770) km at a speed of 660 kmph.
Hence, it covers a total distance of (2x – 770)km at a speed of 500 kmph
5) Three pipes A, B, and C can fill the tank in 10 hours, 20 hours and 40 hours respectively. In the beginning all of them are opened simultaneously. After 2 hours, tap C is closed and A and B are kept running. After the 4th hour, tap B is also closed. The remaining work is done by tap A alone. What is the percentage of the work done by tap A alone?
a) 30%
b) 35%
c) 45%
d) 50%
e) None of these
All of them are opened for 2 hours + after 2 hours, tap C is closed + After the 4th hour, tap B is also closed = 100
(10+5+2.5)×2 + (10+5)×2 + X = 100
35+30+ work by tap A alone = 100
work by tap A alone =100-65 = 35%
