CAT (QA) PYQs

Points $A, P, Q$ and $B$ lie on the same line such that $P, Q$ and $B$ are, respectively, $100 \mathrm{~km}, 200 \mathrm{~km}$ and $300 \mathrm{~km}$ away from $A$. Cars $1$ and $2$ leave $A$ at the same time and move towards $B.$ Simultaneously, car $3$ leaves $B$ and moves towards $A$. Car $3$ meets car $1$ at $Q$, and car $2$ at $P$. If each car is moving in uniform speed then the ratio of the speed of car $2$ to that of car $1$ 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

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 $Y$ ?
