Trains A and B start traveling at the same time towards each other with constant speeds from stations X and Y, respectively. Train A reaches station Y in $10$ minutes while train B takes $9$ minutes to reach station X after meeting train A. Then the total time taken, in minutes, by train $B$ to travel from station $Y$ to station $X$ is

Points $A$ and $B$ are $150 \mathrm{~km}$ apart. Cars $1$ and $2$ travel from $A$ to $B$, but car $2$ starts from $A$ when car $1$ is already $20 \mathrm{~km}$ away from $A$. Each car travels at a speed of $100 \mathrm{kmph}$ for the first $50 \mathrm{~km}$, at $50 \mathrm{kmph}$ for the next $50 \mathrm{~km}$, and at $25 \mathrm{kmph}$ for the last $50 \mathrm{~km}$. The distance, in km, between car $2$ and $B$ when car $1$ reaches $B$ is

A train travelled at one-thirds of its usual speed, and hence reached the destination $30$ minutes after the scheduled time. On its return journey, the train initially travelled at its usual speed for $5$ minutes but then stopped for $4$ minutes for an emergency. The percentage by which the train must now increase its usual speed so as to reach the destination at the scheduled time, is nearest to
