Question

A metro rail starts travelling from Garia to Chandni and an Eagle travels from Chandni towards Garia at a speed of 6 km/hr and strikes the train and comes back again and repeats the same. Find the distance travelled by Eagle when train reaches Chandni if distance between two stations is 32 km and speed of the train is 6.4 km/hr.
1. 30 km
2. 32 km
3. 25 km
4. 36 km

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 : 30 km

Given:

Distance between two Stations = 32 km

Speed of Eagle = 6 km/hr

Speed of Train = 6.4 km/hr

Concept:

The time for which the eagle travels is equal to the time taken by train to travel from Garia to Chandni.

Formula Used:

Distance = Speed × Time

Calculation:

Time taken by train = Distance/Speed

⇒ 32/6.4

⇒ 5 hours

∴ Distance travelled by eagle when train reaches chandni = Speed of Eagle × 5 hours

⇒ 6 × 5

⇒ 30 km
