Fighter planes $X$ and $Y$ are moving towards a target $ 'O'$ along two perpendicular paths, with equal speeds. $X$ starts from a point at a distance of $19\mathrm { km }$ from $^ { \prime } O ^ { \prime }$ and $Y$ starts from a point at a distance of $12\mathrm { km }$ from $ \mathrm '{ O } '.$ After $1$ minute, it was found that they were $13\mathrm { km }$ away from each other. What is the speed at which they are travelling. given that they start simultaneously?
- $35 \mathrm { km } / \mathrm { min }$
- $28 \mathrm { km } / \mathrm { min }$
- $7 \mathrm { km } / \mathrm { min }$
- $21 \mathrm { km } / \mathrm { min }$
The distance-time relationship of a moving body is given by $y=F(x)$ then the acceleration of the body is the:
- Gradient of the velocity/time graph
- Gradient of the distance/time graph
- Gradient of the acceleration/time graph
- Gradient of the velocity/distance graph

- 34 km/hr
- 35 km/hr
- 36 km /hr
- 37 km/hr
Two bodies $A$ and $B$ are projected vertically up from the ground simultaneously. They spend $6$ seconds and $9$ seconds in air respectively. Raio of the maximum heights reached by them is

- $4:9$
Mohit travelled $225$ km in $\displaystyle 4\frac {1}{2}$ hours. Raj travelled the same distance at an average speed that was $10$ km per hour faster than Mohit's average speed. What was the number of hours it took Raj to travel $225$ km ?
- $\displaystyle 2\frac {1}{4}$
- $\displaystyle 3\frac {1}{4}$
- $\displaystyle 3\frac {3}{4}$
- $\displaystyle 4\frac {2}{5}$
Two trains from two places start running in the opposite direction and reach the destination at the midpoint after $3\dfrac{1}{3}$ hours and $4\dfrac{4}{5}$ hours. If the speed of the first train is $80$ km/hr, then the speed of the 2nd train (in km/hr) is
- $64\dfrac{2}{3}$
- $66\dfrac{2}{3}$
- $55\dfrac{5}{9}$
- $75$
A boat travels with a speed of 15 km/hr in still water. In a river flowing at 5 km/hr, the boat travels some distance downstream and then returns. The ratio of average speed to the speed in still water is

- 3 : 8
- 8 : 9
- 9 : 8

After travelling for 30 minutes a train meets an accident, due to which it has to stop for 45 minutes. Due to the accident its speed is also reduced to 2/3 of its former value and the train reaches its destination 1 hour 30 minutes late. Had the accident occurred 60 km later, the train would have reached 30 minutes earlier. The length of the journey is
- 90 km
- 120 km
- 150 km
- 180 km
