Sample questions

Sample Medium question 1

Arjun, while going to college, walks at 9/10 of his usual speed and reaches 10 minutes late. Find his usual time to reach college.

  1. 10 minutes
  2. 85 minutes
  3. 100 minutes
  4. 90 minutes
Show answer

Answer: D. Speed ratio = 10 : 9 (usual : reduced), so time ratio = 9 : 10. The 1 part of the time difference equals 10 min, so usual time (9 parts) = 90 minutes.

Sample Medium question 2

Meera, while going to school, walks at 9/10 of his usual speed and reaches 6 minutes late. Find his usual time to reach school.

  1. 51 minutes
  2. 54 minutes
  3. 6 minutes
  4. 60 minutes
Show answer

Answer: B. Speed ratio = 10 : 9 (usual : reduced), so time ratio = 9 : 10. The 1 part of the time difference equals 6 min, so usual time (9 parts) = 54 minutes.

Sample Medium question 3

Imran, while going to office, walks at 2/3 of his usual speed and reaches 20 minutes late. Find his usual time to reach office.

  1. 60 minutes
  2. 40 minutes
  3. 20 minutes
  4. 30 minutes
Show answer

Answer: B. Speed ratio = 3 : 2 (usual : reduced), so time ratio = 2 : 3. The 1 part of the time difference equals 20 min, so usual time (2 parts) = 40 minutes.
