Two persons A and B are standing diametrically opposite on a circular track of with a radius of 3.5 units. They start running in an opposite direction on the circular track and their speeds are four units/ min and seven units/min, respectively. On meeting each other, they take rest for half a min and then start running with twice the original speed. In five min, how many times will they take rest together?

Two riders on the horseback with a gun and a bulletproof shield were moving towards each other at a constant speed of 20 km/h and 5 km/h, respectively. When they were 100 km apart, they started firing bullets at each other at the speed of 10 km/h. When a bullet of rider 1 hits the shield of rider 2, rider 2 fires a bullet, and the process continues vice versa. Neglecting the time lag at the instant when the bullet hits the shield and the rider fires the shot, find the total distance covered by all the bullets shot by both the riders.

A train approaches a tunnel PQ which is 16 m long. Two rabbits A and B are standing at points which are 12 m and 8 m inside the tunnel with respect to the entrance P. When the train is x m away from P, A starts running towards P and B towards Q. The difference between the ratios of the speed of A to that of the train and the ratio of the speed of B to that of the train is 18. How much can the distance x be, if both of them get caught at the ends of the tunnel?

The numbers expressing (in meters) the length of fast and slow trains are three times the numbers expressing (in km/h) the speed of the slow and the fast train respectively. The speed of the slow train and that of the fast train consists of the same two digits, but in reverse order. The time taken by the two trains to pass each other, when travelling in an opposite direction on parallel lines will be:
