The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will derive the equations based on the information given and then find the required values. ### Step 1: Derive the equations from the given information 1. **First Statement**: Uday can cover distance \(X\) with speed \(Y\) in time \(Z\). - From the formula \( \text{Distance} = \text{Speed} \times \text{Time} \), we have: \[ X = Y \times Z \quad \text{(Equation 1)} \] 2. **Second Statement**: Uday can cover the same distance \(X\) with speed \(Y + 10\) in time \(Z - 2\). - Again using the distance formula: \[ X = (Y + 10) \times (Z - 2) \quad \text{(Equation 2)} \] 3. **Third Statement**: Uday can cover the same distance \(X\) with speed \(Y - 15\) in time \(Z + 6\). - Using the distance formula: \[ X = (Y - 15) \times (Z + 6) \quad \text{(Equation 3)} \] ### Step 2: Set up equations based on the derived equations From Equation 1, we can express \(X\) in terms of \(Y\) and \(Z\): \[ X = YZ \] Substituting \(X\) into Equations 2 and 3 gives us: 1. From Equation 2: \[ YZ = (Y + 10)(Z - 2) \] Expanding this: \[ YZ = YZ - 2Y + 10Z - 20 \] Simplifying: \[ -2Y + 10Z - 20 = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad 2Y - 10Z = -20 \quad \Rightarrow \quad Y - 5Z = -10 \quad \text{(Equation 4)} \] 2. From Equation 3: \[ YZ = (Y - 15)(Z + 6) \] Expanding this: \[ YZ = YZ + 6Y - 15Z - 90 \] Simplifying: \[ 6Y - 15Z - 90 = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad 2Y - 5Z = 30 \quad \text{(Equation 5)} \] ### Step 3: Solve the system of equations We now have two equations: 1. \(Y - 5Z = -10\) (Equation 4) 2. \(2Y - 5Z = 30\) (Equation 5) Subtract Equation 4 from Equation 5: \[ (2Y - 5Z) - (Y - 5Z) = 30 + 10 \] This simplifies to: \[ Y = 40 \] Now substitute \(Y = 40\) back into Equation 4: \[ 40 - 5Z = -10 \quad \Rightarrow \quad 5Z = 50 \quad \Rightarrow \quad Z = 10 \] Now substitute \(Y\) and \(Z\) back into Equation 1 to find \(X\): \[ X = YZ = 40 \times 10 = 400 \] ### Summary of values found: - \(Y = 40\) km/h - \(Z = 10\) hours - \(X = 400\) km ### Step 4: Answer the questions 1. **Time to cover 200 km with speed \(Y + 10\)**: \[ \text{Speed} = Y + 10 = 40 + 10 = 50 \text{ km/h} \] \[ \text{Time} = \frac{200}{50} = 4 \text{ hours} \] 2. **Distance covered in \(Z + 6\) time at \(Y + 10\) speed**: \[ \text{Time} = Z + 6 = 10 + 6 = 16 \text{ hours} \] \[ \text{Distance} = \text{Speed} \times \text{Time} = 50 \times 16 = 800 \text{ km} \] 3. **Speed by which a tunnel can be crossed in \(\frac{Z}{2}\) hours**: - We cannot find this without knowing the length of the tunnel. 4. **Ratio between time to cover distance \(X\) with speed \(Y\) to time to cover distance \(X - 5\) with speed \(Y + 10\)**: \[ \text{Time with } Y = \frac{X}{Y} = \frac{400}{40} = 10 \text{ hours} \] \[ \text{Time with } Y + 10 = \frac{X - 5}{Y + 10} = \frac{395}{50} = 7.9 \text{ hours} \] \[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{10}{7.9} \approx 1.27 \]

To solve the problem step by step, we will derive the equations based on the information given and then find the required values. ### Step 1: Derive the equations from the given information 1. **First Statement**: Uday can cover distance \(X\) with speed \(Y\) in time \(Z\). - From the formula \( \text{Distance} = \text{Speed} \times \text{Time} \), we have: \[ X = Y \times Z \quad \text{(Equation 1)} ...
