Points $A$ and $B$ are $150 \mathrm{~km}$ apart. Cars $1$ and $2$ travel from $A$ to $B$, but car $2$ starts from $A$ when car $1$ is already $20 \mathrm{~km}$ away from $A$. Each car travels at a speed of $100 \mathrm{kmph}$ for the first $50 \mathrm{~km}$, at $50 \mathrm{kmph}$ for the next $50 \mathrm{~km}$, and at $25 \mathrm{kmph}$ for the last $50 \mathrm{~km}$. The distance, in km, between car $2$ and $B$ when car $1$ reaches $B$ is

Two cars travel from different locations at constant speeds. To meet each other after starting at the same time, they take $1.5$ hours if they travel towards each other, but $10.5$ hours if they travel in the same direction. If the speed of the slower car is $60$ km/hr, then the distance traveled, in km, by the slower car when it meets the other car while traveling towards each other, is

The distance from $B$ to $C$ is thrice that from $A$ to $B$. Two trains travel from $A$ to $C$ via $B$. The speed of train $2$ is double that of train $1$ while traveling from $A$ to $B$ and their speeds are interchanged while traveling from $B$ to $C$. The ratio of the time taken by train $1$ to that taken by train $2$ in travelling from $A$ to $C$ is
