A train travels 360 km in 4 hours. If it increases its speed by 20%, how long will it take to travel the same distance?
Answer: 3 hours 20 minutes
Original speed = 360/4 = 90 km/h. New speed = 90 × 1.20 = 108 km/h. Time = 360/108 = 3.33 hours = 3 hours 20 minutes.

Answer: ₹1050
CI = P(1+r)^t - P = 5000(1.1)^2 - 5000 = 5000(1.21) - 5000 = 6050 - 5000 = ₹1050.
If 8 men can complete a piece of work in 20 days, how many days will 10 men take to complete the same work?
