SOLUTIONS TO DAILY CSAT MISSION # 77

1. (B) 2. (B) 3. (A) 4. (B) 5. (D)

Explanations
1. Distance covered by the man in four minutes = 3 x (1000/60) x 4 = 200 metres.
So, distance travelled by the carriage in four minutes = 200 m + 100 m = 300 m.
Therefore the speed of the carriage = 300/4 m/min = 300/4 x 60/1000 kmph = 4.5 kmph.

2. Let him take ‘t’ minutes to cover 40% of the journey. So time taken to cover 60% of the journey = t + 10.
So, (t + 10)/t = 60/40, which gives t = 20.
Total time for the journey = t + (t + 10) = 50 minutes = 5/6 hours. Speed = 48 km/hr. So, the distance = 48 x 5/6 = 40 km.

3. Let the total journey be 120 km long.
So, with stoppages, it takes 3 hours to complete the journey (because avg speed is 40).
Without stoppages, it would take 2 hours to complete the journey (because avg speed is 60).
From this, we can conclude that in the three hour journey, it would have spent 1 hour in halts. So, time per hour spent in halts = 1/3 of an hour = 20 minutes.

4. Let ‘t’ minutes be the time he takes if he arrives at exactly the correct time for the class.
At 5 kmph, he arrives 3 minutes later i.e. time taken = (t + 3) minutes.
At 6 kmph, he arrives 7 minutes earlier i.e. time taken = (t – 7) minutes.
Since the distance remains the same, 5(t + 3) = 6 (t – 7), which gives t = 57 minutes.
At, 5 kmph, he takes 60 minutes (1 hour) to reach the class. So, distance = 5 km.

5. Let the time Rahul takes in catching up to Aryan be ‘t’ minutes.
In this time, at 50 m/min, Rahul has covered 50t metres.
And, Aryan has ran for five more minutes. So Aryan has covered 40(t+5) metres.
But since Rahul has caught up, both must have covered the same distance from the starting point.
So, 50t = 40(t+5) which gives t = 20 minutes.
In 20 minutes at 60 m/min, the dog must have covered 1200 metres.
