29. Two trains start from stations A and B spaced 50 kms apart at the same time and speed.

If the speed of the trains is 25 km/h and that of the bird is 100 km/h. How much did the bird travel till the collision.

Answer: 100 kms

Since the trains is travelling at 25 kmph, at each other, the relative speed is 50 kmph.
Speed = 50 kmph
Distance = 50 km
Time to collision = distance / speed = 1 hr
Speed of bird = 100 kmph

30. Fifty minutes ago it was four times as many minutes past three o'clock. How many minutes is it to six o'clock..?

Answer: 26 min

Explanation:

There are 180 minutes between 3 o'clock and 6 o'clock.
Call x the number of minutes to 6 o'clock.
Then it is 180 - x minutes past 3 o'clock and 50 minutes ago it was 130 - x minuted past 3 o'clock.
Using the 4 times as many minutes past three o'clock bit we can form the equation
130 - x = 4x and solve it
130 = 5x
x = 26 so yes it is 26 minutes.
