Let speed of train = x kmph and speed of car =
y kmph then according to question
Again,
⟹ 60 = 78
– y ⟹ y = 18
kmph
3. a) In
the time that a takes to run 200nm S runs 180m and N. runs 160m
So in
the time that S takes to run 200m, N runs = 200
Or ‘N’
is beaten by 22.22 m
In 100
metre race N is beaten by 11.11m
4. d)
Let amount of water, milk and acid in containers A, B and C respectively = 100x
Water
remaining after 10% content of A taken out = 90x(water)
Now milk
and water in ‘B’ = 100x (milk) and 10x (water) 10% content of B = 10x (milk)
and x(water)
After
pouring 100% content of B into ‘C’ the content of C = 100x (Acid), 10x (Milk)
and x(water)
10%
content of ‘C’ induces = 10x (acid), x (milk) and
(water)
Now
after pouring 10% content of ‘C’ into A, the content of A =
(water),
x(milk) and 10x(acid)
Proportion
of milk in container ‘A’ =

Ratio of white to yellow balls = 6:5
Let
white balls = 6x
And
Yellow balls = 5x
Now, 6x
– 5x = 45 x = 45
Available
white balls = 6 x 45 = 270
Ordered
white ball = 270 – 45 = 225

Solve
equation (i) and (ii)
We get x
= 18, y = 7 x + y = 25

Let party A’s voter before kidnapping and influence = x
After
kidnapping voter of panty A =
Party
B’s voter = 2400 – x
After
influence B’s voter = 2(2400 – x)
Then A’s
voter =
Now
according to question,

Let speed of first car, second car and third car are x, y, and z km/hr
respectively.
Now
according to question,
(Where ‘d’ is distance between A and B)
⟹
…..(i) Now again,
…(ii)
Further,
From
equation we can get ‘y’ in terms of x and z x
: y : z = 1 :
: 2
or,
x : y :
z = 3 : 4 : 6 and
is give
1 ⟹ 20
Difference
between speed of first and third car = (6-3) = 3
