Question 6

A train leaves Station A at 6:00 AM with a speed of 75 km/h. Another train leaves Station B (500 km away) at 8:00 AM towards A at 85 km/h. At what time will they meet?

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: A. 10:11:15 AM. — When two objects move towards each other from different starting points and times, we find their meeting point by calculating the distance each covers until they meet. **Step 1: Calculate distance covered by Train A before Train B starts** Train A leaves at 6:00 AM and Train B leaves at 8:00 AM — a 2-hour head start. 	ext{Distance by Train A in 2 hours} = 75 	imes 2 = 150\,	ext{km} Remaining distance between trains at 8:00 AM: 500 - 150 = 350\,	ext{km} **Step 2: Find relative speed of approach** Both trains now move towards each other. Their combined closing speed is: 	ext{Relative speed} = 75 + 85 = 160\,	ext{km/h} **Step 3: Calculate time to meet after 8:00 AM** Time for both trains to cover the remaining 350 km: 	ext{Time} = \frac{350}{160} = \frac{35}{16}\,	ext{hours} Converting to hours and minutes: \frac{35}{16} = 2\frac{3}{16}\,	ext{hours} = 2\,	ext{hours} + \frac{3}{16} 	imes 60\,	ext{minutes} \frac{3}{16} 	imes 60 = 11.25\,	ext{minutes} = 11\,	ext{minutes and 15 seconds} **Step 4: Add elapsed time to 8:00 AM** Meeting time: 8:

Answer

Question 8

If a train increases its speed by 20% and covers the same distance in 5 hours less, what is the original speed of the train?

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: C. 50 km/h — Let original speed = v km/h, original time = t hours. Distance = vt. New speed = 1.2v, new time = t-5. vt = 1.2v(t-5). Solving: t = 30 hours, v = 50 km/h.

Answer

A. 30 km/h

Answer

B. 40 km/h

Answer
