A cyclist after travelling a certain distance stopped for 30 minutes to repair the cycle. Then he completed the whole journey of 30 km at half speed and took a total time of 5 hours. If the breakdown has occurred 10 km further off, he would have completed the whole journey in 4 hours. Find where the breakdown occurred and his original speed.

A train covered a certain distance at a uniform speed. If the train would have been 10 km/h faster, it would have taken 2 hours less than the scheduled time. And, if the train were slower by 10 km/h, it would have taken 3 hours more than the scheduled time. Find the distance covered by the train.

A man has to walk a certain distance. He finds that if he walked 1/4 of a km an hour faster he will take 20 minutes less, but if he walks 1/2 km an hour slower he will take 52 minutes more. Find the distance and his rate of walking.

After covering a distance of 30 km with a uniform speed there is some defect in a train engine and, therefore, its speed is reduced to 4/5 of its original speed. Consequently, the train reaches its destination late by 45 minutes. Had it happened after covering 18 kilometres more, the train would have reached 9 minutes earlier. Find the speed of the train and the distance of journey.
