let k and t be the speeds of karen and tom respectively . t be the time that karen will travel - - - - > t + 4 / 60 will be the total time tom will travel by the time the distance between karen and tom is 4 miles . thus , per the question , k ( t ) - t ( t + 4 / 60 ) = 4 - - - > t = 7 / 15 hours thus the distance traveled by tom when karen is 4 miles ahead of him e : t * ( t + 4 / 60 ) = 45 ( 7 / 15 + 4 / 60 ) = 24 miles . d is the correct answer .

a committee is reviewing a total of 20 x black - and - white films and 4 y color films for a festival . if the committee selects y / x % of the black - and - white films and all of the color films , what fraction of the selected films are in color ?
"say x = y = 10 . in this case we would have : 20 x = 200 black - and - white films ; 4 y = 40 color films . y / x % = 10 / 10 % = 1 % of the black - and - white films , so 2 black - and - white films and all 40 color films , thus total of 42 films were selected . color films thus compose 40 / 42 = 20 / 21 of the selected films . answer : c"

a jogger running at 9 kmph along side a railway track is 250 metres ahead of the engine of a 120 metre long train running at 45 kmph in the same direction . in how much time will the train pass the jogger ?
"speed of train relative to jogger = ( 45 – 9 ) km / h = 36 km / h = ( 36 × 5 ⁄ 18 ) m / sec = 10 m / sec distance to be covered = ( 250 + 120 ) m = 370 m . ∴ time taken = ( 370 ⁄ 10 ) sec = 37 sec . answer b"
a = 250 + 120 b = a / 1000 c = 45 - 9 d = b / c e = d * const_60 f = e * const_60
