1. The distance between the places H and O is D units. The average speed that gets a person from H to O in a
stipulated time is S units. He takes 20 minutes more time than usual if he travels at 60 km/h, and reaches
44 minutes early if he travels at 75 km/h. The sum of the numerical values of D and S is:

sets off in another car at 50 km/hr. he will catch the thief at
1:30 pm. 40 50 2:00 pm.

12. Two trains are moving in the opposite direction at speed of 45 km/hr and 30 km/hr respectively, whose
lengths are 450m and 550m respect-ively. What is the time taken (in seconds) by slower train to cross
the faster train?
