Distance covered by train X in 8 hours
= 8 × 40 = 320 km

Sol.342.(b)
Let the speed of the woman = w km/h
⇒ (44 - 8) × 15 = (44 + w) × 10
⇒ 540 = 440 + 10w ⇒ w = 10 km/h

Sol.343.(a) Tricky approach :

𝑓−𝑠
t= hours
𝑓
Here, t = time of stoppage
f = speed without stoppage
s = speed with stoppage
50 − 40 1
t= = hours = 12 minutes
50 5

Sol.344.(b) Distance travelled by A in 4

hours = 4 × 4 = 16 km
Relative speed = (10 - 4) km/h
Time taken by B to catch A
16 16
= = h
10 − 4 6
Distance covered by B before catching A
16
= × 10 = 26.67 km
6

Sol.345.(c) Let the length of each train = a

Relative speed = (54 - 42) = 12 km/h
Total distance covered = a + a = 2a
According to the question
5
2a = 12 × × 63 ⇒ a = 105 m
18

Sol.346.(a) Relative speed = (72 + 108)

5
= 180 km/h or 180 × m/s
18
Total length of two trains
5
= 180 × × 10 = 500 m

Time taken by first train to cross the
250 + 350
platform = 5 = 30 seconds
