A bird starts flying from a place O towards B via A. There is no wind resistance from O to A. But there is uniform wind resistance between A and B. To travel from O to B the bird takes 12 minutes, whereas to travel from B to O via A, the bird takes 14 minutes. Had there been wind resistance between O and A also (which equals that between A and B), the bird would have taken only 11 minutes to travel from O to B. O, A and B are collinear.If there was the same wind resistance between O and A as between A and B, what would be the time taken by the bird to travel from B to O?

1) 12.5 min
2) 15.4 min
3) 18.2 min
4) none of these

Three sprinters A,B,C had to sprint from points P to Q and back (starting in that order). The time interval between them was 5 secs each. Thus, C started 10secs after A, B started 5secs after A. They passed a certain pt. R which is somewhere between P and Q (none of them having reached Q yet). Having reached Q and reversed the direction the 3rd sprinter met the 2nd one 9m short of Q and the 1st one 15m short of Q. Find the speed of the 1st sprinter if the distance PQ is 55m.
