Total exp= 15%+55%= 70%
Let salary rs.100
Save= 100-70= Rs.30%
Rs.30%= 12750.
100% = 12750/30x100=42500.

9 = D*18/60 * 5 (USE S=D/T) AND (COVERT KM/HOUR IN TO M/SEC ) * 5/18.
So,
1 = D*2/300,
D = 300/2,
D = 150.
So,
1 = D*2/300,
D = 300/2,
D = 150.

In 3600 sec. train travel 60000 meter than in 9 sec. How many meter it travels?
9*60000/3600 = 150 meter.
9*60000/3600 = 150 meter.

Why in this question, you are saying to find out length of train it must be distance covered by the train?

60km/60min = 1km/min.
1km = 1000metres , 1hr = 60mins.
1000m/60min = 16.666667.
16.666667 * 9 = 150metres.
1km = 1000metres , 1hr = 60mins.
1000m/60min = 16.666667.
16.666667 * 9 = 150metres.

@All.
speed(60)*1000(KM convert to meters)/3600(Hoursconvrt to sec)
->60*1000/3600 = 60 * 5/18 = 50/3.
speed(60)*1000(KM convert to meters)/3600(Hoursconvrt to sec)
->60*1000/3600 = 60 * 5/18 = 50/3.

60km/hr = 5/18 * 60 m/s = 50/3 m/s.
50m/s means 50 metres for 3 seconds,
Then for 9 seconds - 150 metres.
50m/s means 50 metres for 3 seconds,
Then for 9 seconds - 150 metres.
