by 100 meters. What is the ratio of their speeds? Rs.43,500

some twists in the questions. The objective is to find what the question is
saying. Answers will follow.
Now, first step and the most important step is to feel in mind's eye what all
is happening in the race. When Ram has just won the race of 1km, Rahim is Diwali Offer Spark Folding
how far behind him? Head Phones
Rs.1,200
Ans is 100 meters behind him.
Get It Now!
And Ram has covered 1000 meters, Rahim has covered how much
distance?
Ans is 900 meters.
Philips Qt4000 Beard Trimmer
And Ram has covered 1000 meters in the same time it took Rahim to cover Rs.1,395
900 meters.
Get It Now!
Distance covered are in the ratio of 1000:900
Know the previous concept that when distance is different and time is
constant, speed is directly proportional to the distance.
So, speed ratio of Ram : Rahim will also be 1000:900 = 10 : 9

This question will cover the remaining logic.
Ques: in a 1000m race, Ravi gives Vinod a start of 40m and beats him by
19 seconds. If Ravi gives a start of 30 sec to Vinod, then Vinod beats
Ravi by 40m. What is the ratio of speed of Ravi to that of Vinod?
Ravi by 40m. What is the ratio of speed of Ravi to that of Vinod?
Case1: Now, visualize, in 1000m race, Ravi has given Vinod a start of 40m
and beats him by 19 seconds. Means to say, Ravi runs 1000m while Vinod
runs only 960m.
Second thing, when Ravi completed his 1000m, Vinod is still running and he
runs for 19s more.
When putting it mathematically, if Ravi has completed the 1000m in T1
seconds, Vinod took T1+19 seconds to complete the 960m.
Case2: Ravi gives Vinod a start of 30s, then Vinod beat Ravi by 40m. Means
to say, When the race is finished, Vinod has run 1000m while Ravi has run
only 960m.
Second thing, Vinod has given the start of 30s. When Vinod has completed
his 1000m, Ravi is still behind him 40m (i.e. Ravi has completed 960m)
When putting it mathematically, if Vinod has run 1000m in T2+30
seconds, Ravi has run 960m in T2 seconds.

Based on all the above facts, we'll find their speeds.
Ravi's speed = 1000/T1 = 960/T2
T1 = [25/24]*T2
Also, Vinod's Speed = 960/[T1 + 19] == 1000/[T2 + 30]
Solving this by putting T1's value, we gets, T2 = 120s
Required ratio = [960/T2] / [1000/(T2 + 30)] == [960/120] / [1000/150] = 6/5 =
Answer.

If you understood all this, try solvingthesequestion using the same basic
concepts.
Quiz Ques5: In a 1600m race, A beats B by 80m and C by 60m. If they
run at the same time, then by what distance will C beat B in a 400 m
race?
Quiz Ques 6: A beats B by 100m in a race of 1200m and B beats C by
200m in a race of 1600m. Approximately by how many meters can A
beat C in a race of 9600m?

Circular Motion Concept
In circular tracks, the radius should be given or the length of the track is
given. If length is given then its okay, if radius is given then put the formula L
= 2*pi*radius to find the length of track.
Two or more runners will run this track with unequal speeds. They will run in
the same direction or opposite direction.
We've covered that when two people run in same direction, their relative
speed = speed of person with more speed speed of person with less
speed.
And when they run in opposite direction, their relative speed becomes =
speed of 1st person + speed of 2nd person.
This same concept is to be used here.
Time taken by them to meet for first time will be = length of trace / relative
speed.
Means to say, if A runs 1000m race with speed of 25mps and B runs race
with speed of 15mps and they both are running in opposite direction, then
Time taken = length of track 1000m / relative speed 25+15mps = 1000/40 =
25seconds
If they run in the same direction, they will take = 1000/10 = 100 seconds.

Sometimes, question is asked of their meeting at the same starting
point. For, this, LCM of their time is taken
That is to say, if A runs 1000m with 25mps speed, he will take = 40sec
B runs 1000m with 15mps speed = he will take = 200/3 sec
LCM of 40 and 200/3 = 200
LCM of 40 and 200/3 = 200
So, they will take 200 sec to meet again at starting point.

This covers the basics of Time and Distance.

Note: These time and speed questions entertains practical imagination of
examinee. If one can practically feel how boring it is to drive at 30 kmph and
how thrilling the drive becomes if we go at 90 kmph, then he can do more
with these questions. The idea is just to get a feel out of these questions.
Answers will automatically follow.

Thank Pi!! :)
