CAT (QA) PYQs

Train $T$ leaves station $X$ for station $Y$ at $3 \mathrm{pm}$. Train $S$, traveling at three quarters of the speed of $T$, leaves $Y$ for $X$ at $4 \mathrm{pm}$. The two trains pass each other at a station $Z$, where the distance between $X$ and $Z$ is three-fifths of that between $X$ and $Y$. How many hours does train $T$ take for its journey from $X$ to $Y$ ?

A man travels by a motor boat down a river to his office and back. With the speed of the river unchanged, if he doubles the speed of his motor boat, then his total travel time gets reduced by $75\%$. The ratio of the original speed of the motor boat to the speed of the river is

Leaving home at the same time, Amal reaches the office at $10:15 am$ if he travels at $8 km/hr$, and at $9:40 am$ if he travels at $15 km/hr$. Leaving home at 9:10, at what speed, in $km/hr,$ must be travel so as to reach office exactly at $10 am?$
