    1. If only 1st statment taken into consideration:
    $$y=0.30x$$ (Where y= distance from Madras to Trivandrum and x= distance from Calcutta to Madras)
    Nothing absolute can be said about average speed from Madras to Trivendrum.
    2. If only 2nd statement taken into consideration:
    $$frac{y}{t_y} = 2frac{x}{t_x}$$ ( Where tx and ty are time taken for calcutta to madras and madras to trivendrum respectively.)
    And nothing absolute can be said about average speed from Madras to Trivendrum.
    3. Now when both statements taken into consideration:
    We will have $$y=0.30x$$;  $$frac{y}{t_y} = 2frac{x}{t_x}$$ and $$frac{x+y}{t_x+t_y}$$ = 40 (Given)
    After solving above three equations we can find a unique value for average speed from Madras to Trivendrum i.e. 
     $$frac{y}{t_y} = frac{920}{13}$$
    Hence answer will be C.

MCQ-> Four cars need to travel from Akala (A) to Bakala (B). Two routes are available, one via Mamur (M) and the other via Nanur (N). The roads from A to M, and from N to B, are both short and narrow. In each case, one car takes 6 minutes to cover the distance, and each additional car increases the travel time per car by 3 minutes because of congestion. (For example, if only two cars drive from A to M, each car takes 9 minutes.) On the road from A to N, one car takes 20 minutes, and each additional car increases the travel time per car by 1 minute. On the road from M to B, one car takes 20 minutes, and each additional car increases the travel time per car by 0.9 minute. The police department orders each car to take a particular route in such a manner that it is not possible for any car to reduce its travel time by not following the order, while the other cars are following the order. How many cars would be asked to take the route A-N-B, that is Akala-Nanur-Bakala route, by the police department?

MCQ->The "flying car" is a ride at an amusement park, which consists of a car having wheels that roll along a track mounted on a drum.

If the rider applies the brake when going from B to A and then releases it at the top of the drum, A, so that the car coasts freely down along the track to B ( = rad), determine the speed of the car at B and the normal reaction which the drum exerts on the car at B.
