Question 1. The distance between station A and B is 120 km. A train travelling at a speed can cover the distance in 2 hours 30 minutes. By how many km/h should the speed of the train be increased for it to take 30 minutes less to cover the distance. ? Solution 1. Case 1: Data given: Distance between station A and B = 120 km Time taken by the train = 2 h 30 minutes =(2+30/60) h =5/2 h Speed S1 of the train in km/h = D/S =120/(5/2) =48 km/h Case 2: Distance between station A and B = 120 km Time taken by the train = 2 h Speed S2 of the train = 120/2 =60 km/h Increased speed (S2-S1) = (60-48) km/h =12 km/h Ans.

It’s a somber reality that when we’re toddlers, we wish to grow old and when we’re adults, we wish to go back to our childhood days. Of course, I regret the passing of my childhood days. I really miss those innocuous fights, splendid games, crazy fears and the concern of my parents that acted as a shield to protect me against everything. Those were the days when I didn’t have to worry about anything. Also, whatever I wished was fulfilled by my parents. This self-centered world was far away from my reach. I was free to do everything and anything and I knew that if I fall, my dad was there to hold me up. But today, I have no one by my side. Being a toddler, fights meant not talking for a day and when the demands were not fulfilled, simply shedding off tears did everything. Today, there is no one to lend a shoulder to sob and fights mean “Good Bye for-ever”. I yearn to go back to those blessed days and stay there for an unchanged forever. Childhood is that period of a man’
