RE: Ram Singh goes to his office in the city, every da...

Ans: Given Ram reaches the station at 4.00. By the time he called up his home

driver already left this implies that the station must be 1hour driving time from

station. So totally it takes 2hr for to-and-fro journey.They both reached home half-

an-hour earlier this means they took only 1 1/2 hour to reach home............. from

this driver must have saved 15min in his onward journey and another 15min in his

backward journey.So driver drove for 45min(60-15 45) b4 he met Ram > that

Ram also walked for 45min.

I also think the answer is 45 mins. but saying
"By the time he called up his home driver already left" this implies that the station must be 1hour driving time from station" is not correct.

We can't say that the station must be 1 hour drive from the station. Its possible that the driver started at 3 and it takes 2 hours for him to reach station.

Vacation timeIt was vacation time, and so I decided to visit my cousin's home. What a grand time we had! In the mornings, we both would go for a jog. The evenings were spent on the tennis court. Tiring as these activities were, we could manage only one per day, i.e., either we went for a jog or played tennis each day. There were days when we felt lazy and stayed home all day long. Now, there were 12 mornings when we did nothing, 18 evenings when we stayed at home, and a total of 14 days
