A cyclist leaves $A$ at $10$ am and reaches $B$ at $11$ am. Starting from $10:01$ am, every minute a motor cycle leaves $A$ and moves towards $B$. Forty-five such motor cycles reach $B$ by $11$ am. All motor cycles have the same speed. If the cyclist had doubled his speed, how many motor cycles would have reached $B$ by the time the cyclist reached $B$?

John jogs on track $A$ at $6$ kmph and Mary jogs on track $B$ at $7.5$ kmph. The total length of tracks $A$ and $B$ is $325$ metres. While John makes $9$ rounds of track $A$, Mary makes $5$ rounds of track $B$. In how many seconds will Mary make one round of track $A$?

In a race of three horses, the first beat the second by $11$ metres and the third by $90$ metres. If the second beat the third by $80$ metres, what was the length, in metres, of the racecourse?

Two cars travel the same distance starting at $10:00$ am and $11:00$ am, respectively, on the same day. They reach their common destination at the same point of time. If the first car travelled for at least $6$ hours, then the highest possible value of the percentage by which the speed of the second car could exceed that of the first car is

One can use three different transports which move at $10$, $20$, and $30$ kmph, respectively. To reach from $A$ to $B$, Amal took each mode of transport $1/3$ of his total journey time, while Bimal took each mode of transport $1/3$ of the total distance. The percentage by which Bimal's travel time exceeds Amal's travel time is nearest to

The wheels of bicycles $A$ and $B$ have radii $30$ cm and $40$ cm, respectively. While traveling a certain distance, each wheel of $A$ required $5000$ more revolutions than each wheel of $B$. If bicycle $B$ traveled this distance in $45$ minutes, then its speed, in km per hour, was

Points $A, P, Q$ and $B$ lie on the same line such that $P, Q$ and $B$ are, respectively, $100 \mathrm{~km}, 200 \mathrm{~km}$ and $300 \mathrm{~km}$ away from $A$. Cars $1$ and $2$ leave $A$ at the same time and move towards $B.$ Simultaneously, car $3$ leaves $B$ and moves towards $A$. Car $3$ meets car $1$ at $Q$, and car $2$ at $P$. If each car is moving in uniform speed then the ratio of the speed of car $2$ to that of car $1$ is

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

On a long stretch of east-west road, $A$ and $B$ are two points such that $B$ is $350$ km west of $A$. One car starts from $A$ and another from $B$ at the same time. If they move towards each other, then they meet after $1$ hour. If they both move towards east, then they meet in $7 \mathrm{hrs}$. The difference between their speeds, in km per hour, is

Point $P$ lies between points $A$ and $B$ such that the length of $BP$ is thrice that of $AP$ . Car $1$ starts from $A$ and moves towards $B$ . Simultaneously, car $2$ starts from $B$ and moves towards $A$. Car $2$ reaches $P$ one hour after car $1$ reaches $P$. If the speed of car $2$ is half that of car $1$, then the time, in minutes, taken by car $1$ in reaching $P$ from $A$ is

Train $T$ leaves station $X$ for station $Y$ at $3 \mathrm{pm}$. Train $S$, traveling at three quarters of the speed of $T$, leaves $Y$ for $X$ at $4 \mathrm{pm}$. The two trains pass each other at a station $Z$, where the distance between $X$ and $Z$ is three-fifths of that between $X$ and $Y$. How many hours does train $T$ take for its journey from $X$ to $Y$ ?

The distance from $A$ to $B$ is $60 \mathrm{~km}$. Partha and Narayan start from $A$ at the same time and move towards $B$. Partha takes four hours more than Narayan to reach $B$. Moreover, Partha reaches the mid-point of $A$ and $B$ two hours before Narayan reaches $B$. The speed of Partha, in km per hour, is

In a $10 \mathrm{~km}$ race. A, B, and C , each running at uniform speed, get the gold, silver, and bronze medals, respectively. If A beats B by $1 \mathrm{~km}$ and B beats C by $1 \mathrm{~km}$, then by how many metres does A beat C?

Arun drove from home to his hostel at $60$ miles per hour. While returning home he drove half way along the same route at a speed of $25$ miles per hour and then took a bypass road which increased his driving distance by $5$ miles, but allowed him to drive at $50$ miles per hour along this bypass road. If his return journey took $30$ minutes more than his onward journey, then the total distance traveled by him is

A motorbike leaves point $A$ at $1$ pm and moves towards point $B$ at a uniform speed. A car leaves point $B$ at $2$ pm and moves towards point $A$ at a uniform speed which is double that of the motorbike. They meet at $3:40$ pm at a point which is $168 \mathrm{~km}$ away from $A$ . What is the distance, in km, between $A$ and $B$ ?

A man leaves his home and walks at a speed of $12$ km per hour, reaching the railway station $10$ minutes after the train had departed. If instead he had walked at a speed of $15$ km per hour, he would have reached the station $10$ minutes before the train's departure. The distance (in km) from his home to the railway station is

A man travels by a motor boat down a river to his office and back. With the speed of the river unchanged, if he doubles the speed of his motor boat, then his total travel time gets reduced by $75\%$. The ratio of the original speed of the motor boat to the speed of the river is
