2.A hill of 440 yards is there. Two competitors JACK and JILL go up the hill, first JACK reaches the topmost and immediately starts back and meet JILL 20 yards from the topmost point. Finally JACK reaches the starting point 0. 5 minutes earlier than JILL. Speed while coming down is 1. 5 times the speed of going up. Find the time taken by JACK for whole journey(880 yards)? ANS:6. 3 minutes

3.A man jumps into a river from a over bridge, at the same time a hat drops in the river which flows with the stream of the water. That man travels 10 minute upstream and returns back where he was asked to catch the hat. HE catches hat at a distance of 1000 yard down at a second bridge.

4.A train blows a siren one hour after starting from the station. After that it travels at 3/5th of its speed it reaches the next station 2 hours behind schedule. If it had a problem 50 miles farther from the previous case, it would have reached 40 minutes sooner. Find the distance between the two stations.

5.A person has to cover the fixed distance through his horses. There are five horses in the cart. They ran at the full potential for the 24 hours continuously at constant speed and then two of the horses ran away to some other direction. So he reached the destination 48 hours behind the schedule. If the five horses would have run 50 miles more, then the person would have been only 24 hours late. Find the distance of the destination.

6.A cow was standing on a bridge, 5feet away from the middle of the bridge. Suddenly a lightning express with 90 miles/hr was coming towards the bridge from nearest end of the cow. Seeing this the cow ran towards the express and managed to escape when the train is one feet away from the bridge. if it would have ran to opposite direction(i. e. away from train) it would have been hit the train one ft away from the end of the bridge. Calculate the length of bridge.

7.Two men are going along a track of rail in the opposite direction. One goods train crossed the first person in 20 sec. After 10 min the train crossed the other person who is coming in opposite direction in 18 sec. After the train has passed, when the two persons will meet? Approx 72min check it once.
