An express train and superfast train are running on parallel tracks in same direction with a speed in ratio 1 ∶ 3. The driver of express train observes that the superfast train coming from behind and crossed his train completely in 150 seconds whereas a passenger in superfast train observes that he crossed the express train in 60 seconds. Find the ratio of the length of express train to superfast train.1. 1 ∶ 32. 2 ∶ 53. 2 ∶ 34. 3 ∶ 2

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 2 ∶ 3

Given:

Ratio of speed of express train to superfast train = 1 ∶ 3

Time taken by superfast train to cross express train completely =  150 seconds

Time taken by passenger in superfast train to cross express train = 60 seconds

Formula used:

Distance = Speed × Time

Relative speed = Sa - Sb       (When both trains are moving in same direction and Sa > Sb)

Calculations:

Let the speed of express train and superfast train be 1x and 3x respectively.

In first case, when superfast train crossed express train completely

Distance covered = Length of express train(le)  + Length of superfast train(ls)

Distance = Speed × Time

⇒ (l+ ls) = (3x - 1x) × 150

⇒ (l+ ls) = 300x      ----(1)

In second case, when passenger in superfast train crossed express train

Distance covered = Length of express train(le)

Distance = Speed × Time

⇒ (le) = (3x - 1x) × 60

⇒ (le) = 120x      ----(2)

From (1) and (2),

⇒ ls = 180x 

⇒ (le ∶ ls) = 2 ∶ 3

∴ The ratio of the length of an express train to superfast train is 2 ∶ 3.

A car can cover a particular distance in 45 minutes. Now when it reduces its speed by 20% it covers 80% of the distance in 45 minutes. What is the original speed and distance, if the reduced speed is 54 kmph?1. 15 m/s, 90 km2. 18.75 m/s, 50.625 km3. 15 m/s, 56.625 km4. 18.75 m/s, 56.625 km

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 18.75 m/s, 50.625 km

Given:

T = 45 minutes

Reduced speed = 54 km/hr

Percentage reduction in speed = 20%

80% Distance is covered in 45 minutes with reduced speed 

Formula used:

Distance = Speed × Time

Calculations:

Let the original speed be x km/hr

Reduced speed = 54 km/hr

x × (100 - 20)/100 = 54

⇒ x × (4/5) = 54

⇒ x = 54 × (5/4) = 135/2 km/hr

As time is 45 minutes = 45/60 = 3/4 hour

Distance = Speed × Time = (135/2) × (3/4) = 405/8

⇒ Distance = 50.625 km

∴ Required speed and distance is 18.75 m/s and 50.625 km

Dinesh is travelling on his bike. He will reach point P at 6 p. m. if he travels at 20 km/h. He will reach point P at 2 p. m. if he travels at 30 km/h. At what speed must he travel to reach point P at 4 p. m.?1. 32 km/h2. 24 km/h3. 21 km/h4. 28 km/h

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 24 km/h

Given:

Dinesh is traveling on his bike. He will reach point P at 6 p.m. if he travels at 20 km/h. He will reach point P at 2 p.m. If he travelers at a speed of 30 km/h

Concept used:

Distance = Time × Speed

Calculation:

Let, when Dinesh reach point P at 4 p.m it took time t hours.

⇒ When Dinesh reach point P at 6 p.m it took time (t + 2) hours.

⇒ When Dinesh reach point P at 2 p.m it took time (t - 2) hours.

As per the question, equating the distance get,

⇒ (t - 2) × 30 = (t + 2) × 20

⇒ 3t - 6 = 2t + 4

⇒ t = 10

Distance = (10 - 2) × 30 = 8 × 30 = 240 km.

Now, 8 × 30 = 10 × speed

⇒ speed = 240/10

∴ speed = 24km/hr

Ram covers half of the distance at usual speed. Due to snow fall his speed reduces to two-third of the usual speed, after covering 30% of the distance his speed reduces to one-third of the usual speed due to low visibility. Due to this, he reached 9 hours late at the destination. If the total distance to reach the destination is 540 kms, then find the actual speed of Ram.1. 44 km/hr2. 30 km/hr3. 33 km/hr4. 40 km/hr

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 33 km/hr

Given:

Total distance = 540 kms

Delay due to reduction in speed = 9 hours

Formula used:

Time = Distance/Speed

Calculations:

Let the actual speed of Ram be s km/hr.

According to question,

Difference between usual time and delayed time = 9 hours

⇒ {(270/s) + (30% of 540)/(2s/3) + (20% of 540)/(s/3)} - (540/s) = 9

⇒ {(270/s) + (162 × 3)/(2s) + (108 × 3)/s} - (540/s) = 9

⇒ {(270/s) + (243)/(s) + (324)/s} - (540/s) = 9

⇒ (270 + 243 + 324 - 540)/s = 9

⇒ s = 33 km/hr

∴ The actual speed of Ram is 33 km/hr.

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant disruptions in the global economy. By the end of the first quarter of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic had brought international travel to an abrupt halt and significantly impacted the tourism industry. For many developed and developing countries, the tourism sector is a major source of employment, government revenue and foreign exchange earnings. Without this vital lifeline, many countries may experience a dramatic contraction in GDP and a rise in unemployment. Using a computable general equilibrium model (GTAP), we assess the implications of the COVID-19 crisis on the tourism sector. Depending on the duration of the global lockdown, the paper estimates the direct and indirect costs of the shutdown for 65 individual countries and regions and 65 sectors, covering the global economy. In some countries, unemployment could rise by more than 20 percentage points and some sectors could nearly be wiped out if the duration of the tourism standstill is up to one year. Further the paper puts forward policy recommendations for governments to avert the worst effects and facilitate recovery.On the basis of above articleTourism sector generates a number of _____ opportunities and also a good supporter of ______.a) revenue, economy b) international, earnings c) unemployment, development d) employment, GDP

Answer»
