The average speed of a train in the onward journey is 25% more than that in the return journey. The train halts for one hour on reaching the destination. The total time taken for the complete to and from journey is 17 hours, covering a distance of 800 km. The speed of the train in the onward journey is:
[A] 45 km/hr
[B] 47.5 km/hr
[C] 52 km/hr
[D] 56.25 km/hr


ANS: D
Explanation:
Let the speed in return journey be x km/hr.
Then, speed in onward journey =(125/100)x = (5/4)x km/hr
So. Speed in onward journey = [(5/4)*45] km/hr = 56.25 km/hr

    Let the speed in the return journey be x km/hr
    Thrn speed in onward journey=(125/100)x=(5/4)x km/hr
    Here time taken =17-1=16 hrs
    Then 400/x + 400×4/5x =16
    x=45
    SO, speed in onward journey={5/4*45}km/hr
    =56.25 Km/hr

 It takes 10 days for digging a trench of 100 m long, 50 m broad and 10 m deep.  What length of trench, 25 m broad and 15 m deep can be dug in 30 days ?       a) 400 m          b) 200 m          c) 100 m          d) 89m Expl : More days, more length (Direct)       Less breadth, more length (Indirect)       More depth, less length (Indirect       Days      10 : 30;       Breadth  25 : 50;                  : : 100 : x       Depth    15 : 10;                     :. 10 * 25* 15 * x = 30 *50 * 10 *100             x= (30*50*10*100)/10*25*15 = 400      So the required length = 400m
