Answer : 4. "3 : 2"
Explanation :

Answer: D) 3 : 2 Explanation: Let the speeds of the two trains be x m/sec and y m/sec respectively. Then, length of the first train = 27 x meters, and length of the second train = 17 y meters. (27 x + 17 y) / (x + y) = 23 => 27 x + 17 y = 23 x + 23 y => 4 x = 6 y => x/y = 3/2.

Q: P is faster than Q. P and Q each walk 24 km. The sum of their speeds is 7 km/hr and the sum of times taken by them is 14 hours. Then, P's speed is equal to ? 3842 0

Answer : 2. "4 km/hr"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 4 km/hr Explanation: Let P's speed = x km/hr. Then, Q's speed = (7 - x) km/ hr.   So, 24/x + 24/(7 - x) = 14   x2 - 98x + 168 = 0   (x - 3)(x - 4) = 0 => x = 3 or 4.   Since, P is faster than Q,   so P's speed = 4 km/hr and Q's speed = 3 km/hr.

Answer : 3. "13 days"
Explanation :

Answer: C) 13 days Explanation: Ratio of times taken by A and B = 100 : 130 = 10 : 13.Suppose B takes x days to do the work. Then, 10 : 13 :: 23 : x     =>     x = ( 23 x 13/10 )     =>     x = 299 /10. A's 1 day's work = 1/23 ;B's 1 day's work = 10/299 . (A + B)'s 1 day's work = ( 1/23 + 10/299 ) = 23/299 = 113 . Therefore, A and B together can complete the work in 13 days.
