GP math 40-55

40. Tapan and Sunil work together. Tapan works twice the speed of Sunil. They can
finish a
work together in 12 days. If Tapan has to work alone, how many days will he take to
finish this
work?
Let's use some variables to represent the rates at which Tapan and Sunil work.

Let S be Sunil's work rate (in terms of work per day), and since Tapan works twice
as fast as Sunil, Tapan's work rate is 2S.

When they work together, their combined work rate is the sum of their individual
work rates:

Combined work rate = S + 2S = 3S

Now, we know that they can finish the work together in 12 days. We can use the
formula:

Work = Rate × Time

to find the total work. In this case, the total work is 1 (since they are finishing
the entire work).

1 = 3S × 12

Now, let's solve for S:

3S × 12 = 1

36S = 1

S = 1/36

Now that we know Sunil's work rate, we can find Tapan's work rate, which is 2S:

Tapan's work rate = 2 × (1/36) = 2/36 = 1/18

Now, to find out how many days it would take Tapan to finish the work alone, we can
use the formula:

Time = Work / Rate

Tapan's time = 1 / (1/18) = 18 days

So, Tapan would take 18 days to finish the work alone.

41.18 people make a ship in 7 days. How many days 14 people will take to make the
same
ship?

To solve this problem, you can use the concept of "person-days," which is a measure
of the total amount of work done. If 18 people can make a ship in 7 days, this
means they collectively provide 18 x 7 = 126 person-days of work to complete the
ship.

Now, if you have 14 people working on the same ship, you can find out how many days
it will take them to complete it by dividing the total person-days required by the
number of people:

Number of days = Total person-days / Number of people

Number of days = 126 person-days / 14 people

Number of days = 9 days

So, 14 people will take 9 days to make the same ship.

42.. 15 ladies can finish a work in 60 days. If 5 more ladies start working with
them then in how
many days’ work will be finished?
If 15 ladies can finish a work in 60 days, it means they provide a total of 15 x 60
= 900 lady-days of work to complete the task.

Now, if 5 more ladies join them, there will be a total of 15 + 5 = 20 ladies

working together.

To find out how many days it will take these 20 ladies to complete the same work,
you can use the concept of person-days:

Number of days = Total person-days / Number of people

Number of days = 900 lady-days / 20 ladies

Number of days = 45 days

So, when 5 more ladies join the original 15 ladies, they will be able to finish the
work in 45 days.

43.15 boys can finish a work in 20 days. If the work is double of this then how
many days 10
boys will take to finish double of this work?

Let's first determine the rate at which 15 boys work. If 15 boys can finish a work
in 20 days, it means they provide a total of 15 x 20 = 300 boy-days of work to
complete the task.

Now, you mentioned that the work is double. So, the new total work is 2 times the
original work, which means it requires 2 x 300 = 600 boy-days of work.

To find out how many days 10 boys will take to finish this double work, you can use
the concept of person-days:

Number of days = Total person-days / Number of people

Number of days = 600 boy-days / 10 boys

Number of days = 60 days

So, 10 boys will take 60 days to finish double the original work.

44. A person walks 1 KM in 10 minutes. What is the speed of this person in KM /

Hour?

To find the speed of a person in kilometers per hour (km/h), you can use the
formula:
Speed (km/h) = Distance (km) / Time (hours)

In this case, the person walks 1 kilometer in 10 minutes, which is equivalent to

10/60 hours (since there are 60 minutes in an hour).

Speed (km/h) = 1 km / (10/60) hours

Now, simplify the fraction in the denominator:

Speed (km/h) = 1 km / (1/6) hours

To divide by a fraction, you can multiply by its reciprocal:

Speed (km/h) = 1 km * (6/1) hours

Speed (km/h) = 6 km/h

So, the speed of this person is 6 kilometers per hour.

45.A car travels a distance with a speed of 50 KM / Hour in 8 hours. To travel the
same
distance in 5 hours, how much speed should be increased?

To determine how much the speed should be increased to travel the same distance in
5 hours, you can use the formula:

Speed (km/h) = Distance (km) / Time (hours)

Let's first calculate the distance the car travels at its initial speed:

Speed (initial) = 50 km/h

Time (initial) = 8 hours

Distance (initial) = Speed (initial) x Time (initial)

Distance (initial) = 50 km/h x 8 hours
Distance (initial) = 400 kilometers

Now, you want to travel the same distance in 5 hours. Let S be the increased speed:

Speed (increased) = S km/h

Time (increased) = 5 hours
Distance (same as initial) = 400 kilometers

Now, using the formula:

Distance (same as initial) = Speed (increased) x Time (increased)

We can plug in the values:

400 kilometers = S km/h x 5 hours

Now, solve for S:

S km/h = 400 kilometers / 5 hours

S km/h = 80 km/h

So, to travel the same distance in 5 hours, the car's speed should be increased to
80 km/h from the initial speed of 50 km/h. Therefore, the speed should be increased
by 30 km/h.

46. Speed of the car B is double than the car A. If car A covers a distance of 90
KM in 1.5 hours,
then what is the speed of car B ?

Let's first calculate the speed of car A using the formula:

Speed (A) = Distance (A) / Time (A)

Distance (A) = 90 kilometers

Time (A) = 1.5 hours

Speed (A) = 90 km / 1.5 hours = 60 km/h

Now, you mentioned that the speed of car B is double that of car A. Therefore, the
speed of car B is:

Speed (B) = 2 * Speed (A) = 2 * 60 km/h = 120 km/h

So, the speed of car B is 120 kilometers per hour.

Ques47. Speed of the car W is double than the car M. If car W covers a distance of
120 KM in 2.5
hours, then what is the speed of car M?

If car W covers a distance of 120 kilometers in 2.5 hours, you can calculate its
speed using the formula:

Speed (W) = Distance (W) / Time (W)

Distance (W) = 120 kilometers

Time (W) = 2.5 hours

Speed (W) = 120 km / 2.5 hours = 48 km/h

Now, you mentioned that the speed of car W is double that of car M. Therefore, the
speed of car M is half that of car W:

Speed (M) = Speed (W) / 2 = 48 km/h / 2 = 24 km/h

So, the speed of car M is 24 kilometers per hour.

Ques48. Speed of car A is 80 KM / Hour. It travels a distance in 6 Hours. In the

same time car B
travels 60 Km less than car A. What is the speed of car B?

Let's first find out the distance traveled by car A using the formula:

Distance (A) = Speed (A) × Time (A)

Distance (A) = 80 km/h × 6 hours = 480 kilometers

Now, you mentioned that in the same time, car B travels 60 kilometers less than car
A. So, the distance traveled by car B is:
Distance (B) = Distance (A) - 60 km = 480 km - 60 km = 420 kilometers

Now, we can find the speed of car B using the formula:

Speed (B) = Distance (B) / Time (A)

Time (A) is the same for both cars as they travel in the same time.

Speed (B) = 420 km / 6 hours = 70 km/h

So, the speed of car B is 70 kilometers per hour.

Ques49. Length of one side of square park is 50 Meters. Ramesh runs in this park
with a speed of 18
KM / Hour. Calculate the time taken by Ramesh for one round?

To calculate the time taken by Ramesh to complete one round in a square park with a
side length of 50 meters, we first need to convert the speed from kilometers per
hour to meters per second since the side length of the park is given in meters.

Speed (meters per second) = Speed (kilometers per hour) * (1000 meters / 1
kilometer) * (1 hour / 3600 seconds)

Speed (meters per second) = 18 * (1000 / 3600) m/s ≈ 5 m/s

Now that we have Ramesh's speed in meters per second, we can calculate the time
taken for one round. Since it's a square park, Ramesh will run a distance equal to
the perimeter of the square.

Perimeter of a square = 4 * side length

Perimeter = 4 * 50 meters = 200 meters

Now, we can calculate the time taken using the formula:

Time (seconds) = Distance / Speed

Time (seconds) = 200 meters / 5 m/s = 40 seconds

So, Ramesh takes 40 seconds to complete one round in the square park.

50.A man covers a distance of 14 KM in 21 minutes. How much distance will he cover
in 18
minutes

To calculate the distance a man will cover in 18 minutes, you can use the formula:

Distance = Speed × Time

First, convert the time to hours by dividing by 60 (since there are 60 minutes in
an hour):

Time = 18 minutes / 60 = 0.3 hours

Now, let's find the man's speed. He covered 14 kilometers in 21 minutes, which is
21/60 hours:
Speed = Distance / Time
Speed = 14 kilometers / (21/60) hours
Speed = 14 kilometers / 0.35 hours
Speed = 40 kilometers per hour

Now that we have the speed, we can calculate the distance he will cover in 0.3
hours (18 minutes):

Distance = Speed × Time

Distance = 40 kilometers per hour × 0.3 hours
Distance = 12 kilometers

So, the man will cover a distance of 12 kilometers in 18 minutes.

51. . A bus is travelling with a speed of 90 KM / Hour. How much distance it will
travel in 20
seconds

To calculate the distance the bus will travel in 20 seconds, you can use the
formula:

Distance = Speed × Time

First, you need to convert the speed from kilometers per hour to meters per second
since time is given in seconds. There are 1000 meters in a kilometer and 3600
seconds in an hour.

Speed (meters per second) = Speed (kilometers per hour) × (1000 meters / 1
kilometer) × (1 hour / 3600 seconds)

Speed (meters per second) = 90 km/h × (1000 / 3600) m/s ≈ 25 meters per second

Now, you can calculate the distance:

Distance = Speed (meters per second) × Time (seconds)

Distance = 25 m/s × 20 seconds = 500 meters

So, the bus will travel a distance of 500 meters in 20 seconds.

52. . Speed of a scooter is 54 KM / Hour. How much distance it will cover in 1

minute?

To calculate the distance the scooter will cover in 1 minute, you can use the
formula:

Distance = Speed × Time

First, you need to convert the speed from kilometers per hour to meters per minute
since time is given in minutes. There are 1000 meters in a kilometer and 60 minutes
in an hour.

Speed (meters per minute) = Speed (kilometers per hour) × (1000 meters / 1
kilometer) × (1 hour / 60 minutes)

Speed (meters per minute) = 54 km/h × (1000 / 60) meters per minute ≈ 900 meters
per minute

Now, you can calculate the distance:

Distance = Speed (meters per minute) × Time (minutes)

Distance = 900 meters per minute × 1 minute = 900 meters

So, the scooter will cover a distance of 900 meters in 1 minute.

53. A motor cyclist is moving with a speed of 5 meter / second. How many
kilometers distance
he will travel in 3 hours and 20 minutes?

To calculate the distance the motorcyclist will travel in 3 hours and 20 minutes,
you can follow these steps:

1. Convert the speed from meters per second to kilometers per hour. Since there are
1000 meters in a kilometer and 3600 seconds in an hour:

Speed (kilometers per hour) = Speed (meters per second) * (3600 seconds / 1000
meters)

Speed (kilometers per hour) = 5 m/s * (3600 / 1000) km/h = 18 km/h

2. Now that you have the speed in kilometers per hour, you can calculate the
distance using the formula:

Distance (kilometers) = Speed (kilometers per hour) * Time (hours)

Time (hours) = 3 hours + 20 minutes / 60 minutes/hour = 3.333 hours

Distance (kilometers) = 18 km/h * 3.333 hours = 59.994 kilometers

So, the motorcyclist will travel approximately 59.994 kilometers in 3 hours and 20
minutes.

54. . Change the speed of 54 KM / Hour to Meter / Second?

To change the speed from kilometers per hour (km/h) to meters per second (m/s), you
can use the conversion factor:

1 km/h = 1000 meters / 3600 seconds = 5/18 meters per second

So, to convert 54 km/h to m/s:

Speed (m/s) = 54 km/h * (5/18) m/s/km/h = 15 m/s

Therefore, a speed of 54 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 15 meters per second.

55. A circular path has radius of 100 meters. A cyclist travels half circle of
this path in 2
minutes. What is the speed of the cyclist? ( л=3.14)

To find the speed of the cyclist, we first need to determine the distance traveled
by the cyclist and then divide it by the time taken.

The path is a half circle with a radius of 100 meters, which means the cyclist
travels half the circumference of the circle. The formula for the circumference of
a circle is:

Circumference = 2 * π * Radius

Using the given value of π as approximately 3.14:

Circumference = 2 * 3.14 * 100 meters = 628 meters

The cyclist travels this distance in 2 minutes.

Now, to find the speed, you can use the formula:

Speed (meters per minute) = Distance (meters) / Time (minutes)

Speed = 628 meters / 2 minutes = 314 meters per minute

To express the speed in meters per second (since 1 minute = 60 seconds):

Speed (meters per second) = 314 meters per minute / 60 seconds/minute ≈ 5.23 meters
per second

So, the speed of the cyclist is approximately 5.23 meters per second.
