The minor angle between the hours hand and minutes hand of a clock was observed at 8:48 am. The minimum duration, in minutes, after $8.48$ am when this angle increases by $50 \%$ is

A cyclist leaves $A$ at $10$ am and reaches $B$ at $11$ am. Starting from $10:01$ am, every minute a motor cycle leaves $A$ and moves towards $B$. Forty-five such motor cycles reach $B$ by $11$ am. All motor cycles have the same speed. If the cyclist had doubled his speed, how many motor cycles would have reached $B$ by the time the cyclist reached $B$?

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
