Two trains 105 meters and 90 meters long, run at the speeds of 45 km/h and 72 km/h respectively, in opposite directions on parallel tracks. The time which they take to cross each other is?
Explanation
Total length = 195 m. Relative speed = 45 + 72 = 117 km/h = 32.5 m/s. Time = 195/32.5 = 6 sec.
Which device is used to convert digital signals into frequency signals?

If N : 38 :: 3 : 57, find N.

The distance between two points A and B is covered in 5 1/5 hours at a speed of 50 km/h. If the speed is increased by 5 km/h, how much time would be saved?
Explanation
Distance = 50 × 26/5 = 260 km. New time = 260/55 = 52/11 hours. Time saved = 26/5 − 52/11 = (286 − 260)/55 = 26/55 hr ≈ 28.4 min ≈ 30 min.
