Question 195507
1)A train travelling 25km an hour leaves Delhi at 9 a.m. & another train travelling 35 km an hour starts at 2 p.m. in the same direction . how many km from Delhi are they together ? 

speed  = distance/time  => distance = speed *time

d = 25*5 = 125 kms.     i.e. by the time the second train starts travelling which is 5 hrs after the first one the first train has covered a distance of 125kms.

for the first train => d1 = 25*t1;  
for the second train => d2 = 35*t2

so the second train will catch the first train in t2 hrs.

 relation of t1 in terms of t2 => t1 = t2+5 (since train 1 has started moving 5 hrs before t2)

we need the condition d1 = d2   =>   25(t2+5) = 35(t2)  
                                                                    35t2-25t2 = 125 => t2 = 125/10 

   hence they will meet eachother after 12.5 hrs of train 2 leaving the station.

i.e. 2.30 am

2)Walking 3/4 of his usual rate,a man is 1 1/2 (one an half hour) hours too late.find his usual time. 
plz sir solve my difficulty as soon as possible. 

same formula  s = d/t   --------- 1

let s be the usual rate.   d be the distance travelled in t hrs

today he waliking at 3/4 of usual rate = 3s/4. and to cover the distance d it took 1.5 hrs more i.e. t+1.5


so    3s/4 = d/(t+1.5)  ---------------2


usual time t = ?

from 1    d = st
from 2   d = 3s(t+1.5)/4

therefore     st = s(3t+4.5)/4   ==>   4t = 3t +4.5   => t = 4.5 hrs is the usual time.
