Answer : 1. "48 kmph"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 48 kmph Explanation: we know that speed = distance traveled/time takenlet the total distance traveled by the car is 2x km.then time taken by it to cover first half is x/60 hour.and for second half is x/40 hour.Then average speed= total distance travelled / total time taken. i.e. 2xx60+x40 => 2x5x120 = 48 kmph.

Answer : 1. "Rs. 64"
Explanation :
Answer: A) Rs. 64 Explanation: Given Loss = Rs. 40.4We know loss = cost price - selling price 40.4 = CP - 35(15)=> CP = 40.4 + 525=> CP = Rs. 565.4Now the New selling price of waffer is Rs. 18=> SP = 35(18) = 630Now Gain = SP - CP = 630 -565.4 = Rs. 64.6.

Answer : 3. "3.75 km"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 3.75 km Explanation: Let 'd' be the distance between A and BK -time = d/10 + d/9 = 19d/90 hoursL -time = 2d/12 = d/6 hoursWe know that, 10 min = 1/6 hoursThus, time difference between K and L is given as 10 minutes. => 19d/90 - d/6 = 1/6=> (19d-15d)/90 = 1/6=> 4d/90 = 1/6Thus,d= 15/4 km = 3.75 km. hence the distance between A and B is 3.75 km.
