Answer 9

Lets say the train used to arrive at T . it took 10 mins less, thus the car must have picket the man 5 mins before T,symmetrically.
Hence we walked for 60-5 mins = 55 mins

Answer 11

It was a good question, hmm

Answer 12

hey why did yu delete it ???

Answer 13

Understand it like this:
lets say his train arrives at 12:00 (i.e. T)
On a usual day, car will leave plant at 12:00 - x ,
will arrive at station at 12:00
reaches work at 12:00 + x

on this very special day, man starts walking at 11:00 ,
car leaves plant at same 12:00 - x
car meets man at 12:00 - x + y
He reaches to work at 12:00 - x + y + y
Note that 12:00 - x+2y = 12:00 + x - 10

=> x-y= 5
Thus car meets man at 12:00 - x + y = 12:00 - 5 = 11:55


Hence he walked for 55 mins
