A Police officer sees a chain snatcher and runs to catch her from a distance of 50 metres. When the Police officer starts chasing the chain snatcher from a distance of 50 metres, the chain snatcher is running @ 2 metres per second. At the same time the Police Officer is chasing the chain snatcher @ 4 metres per second.

Find the distance covered by the chain snatcher when the Police Officer shall be able to successfully catch her?

Two trains of equal length are running from the same origin on parallel tracks in the same direction, at the speeds of 58 km/hr and 73 km/hr, respectively. The faster train passes the other train in 144 seconds. What is the length (in meters) of each train?

P travels in his car and covers 2/5 part of his journey at a speed of 20 km/h, 1/8 part at 5 km/h and the remaining 19/40 part at 19 km/h. What is the average speed of the car during the entire journey?

During a journey of 200 Km, the average speed of a car is 125 km/h. But if for the first 100 km, the driver increases its earlier average speed by 20% and then decreases it to its (2/3)rd for next 100 km. What will be the new average speed?
