11. At his usual rowing rate Vag can travel 12 miles downstream in a certain river in 6 hrs less than it takes him to travel the same distance upstream. But if he could double his usual rowing rate for his 24 mile round trip, the downstream 12 miles would then take only 1hr less than the upstream 12 miles. What is the speed of the current in miles per hour?

12. Two trains one from Hyderabad to Bangalore and the other from Bangalore to Hyderabad, start simultaneously. After they meet, the trains reach their destinations after 9hrs and 16hrs respectively. The ratio of their speeds is:

13.  A boat takes 19 hrs for travelling downstream from point A to B and coming back to a point C which is midway between A and B. If the of the stream is 4kmph and the speed of the boat in still water is 14 kmph what is the distance between A and B?

14. Two trains running in opposite directions cross a man standing on the platform in 27 secs and 17 secs respectively and they cross each other in 23secs. The ratio of their speeds is:

15. Two stations A and B are 110 km apart on a straight line. One train starts from A at 7am and travels towards B at 20kmph. The other train starts from B at 8am and travels towards A at 25kmph. At what time will they meet?

16. Points A and B are 400 km apart on a straight line. Two cars start from A and B respectively towards each other at speeds of 40kmph and 60kmph respectively. A bird sitting on the car at B starts flying towards the other car at 80kmph. As soon as it reaches the other car it turns back and starts flying back with the same speed. The process continues till the cars meet. How much distance did the bird cover?

17. A person has to cover a distance of 6km in 45mins. If he covers one half of the distance in two thirds of the total time, to cover the remaining distance in the remaining time his speed in kmph would be:
