Ques:- A person meets a train at a railway station coming daily at a particular time. One day he is late by 25 minutes, and he meets the train 5 k.m. before the station. If his speed is 12 kmph, what is the speed of the train.
Recent Answer : Added by DK BOSS On 2021-07-30 16:27:20:

Ans: 60 kph

Suppose Person meets the train everyday at 3 PM at Station A.

His speed is 12kph.

So normally he reaches 5 km before the meeting point (pt B) at (5/12 hr = 25 min before) 2:35PM.

But if he is late by 30 min, then he will reach that point (pt B) by 3:05 PM.

Train is traveling at its normal speed so it covers the distance of 5 Km in 5 min starting from Station A and reaches the meeting point (pt B) at 3:05 PM.

So speed of the train is 5KM/5min = 60 kph.

Ques:- Raj has a jewel chest containing Rings, Pins and Ear-rings. The chest contains 26 pieces. Raj has 2 and 1/2 times as many rings as pins, and the number of pairs of earrings is 4 less than the number of rings. How many earrings does Raj have?…
Recent Answer : Added by King11 On 2022-03-18 09:20:21:

6 pairs of earrings. So 12 earrings.

The total has to be 26, so let’s say there’s 6 pairs of earrings and the number of pairs has to be 4 less than the number of rings. So that would make 10 rings. The 10 rings has to be 2 1/2 greater than the number of pins. So you would divide 10/2.5 = 4 Pins. That would equate to a total of 12 earrings, 10 rings, and 4 pins. A total of 26 pieces.
