Solution :

Train speed = 1053/9 = 117kmph
car speed = 117-52= 65kmph

car speed = (65*21)/13= 105kmph

car covers in 11hours = 105*11=1155km


Ques 2.

Two trains each 210 meters long moving in opposite directions cross each other in 12 seconds. If one is moving thrice as fast as another .What is speed of slower train ?

speed = (210+210)/12 = 35 m/s

x + 3x = 35

x = 35/4 m/s

Ques 3.

Fresh nuts contains 80% water by weight, whereas dry nuts contain 50% water by weight by weight .Suresh buys 60kg of fresh nuts for a total price of 200. At what price should the dry nuts to earn 20% profit ?
