Three silly questions

Here are some really silly questions suitable for children below 80 years.
  1. A clock strikes six in 5 seconds. How long does it take to strike twelve?
  2. A bottle and its cork together cost Rs. 1.10. The bottle costs a rupee more than the cork. How much does the bottle cost?
  3. A train leaves New Delhi for Kolkata at 90 mph. At the same time, a bus leaves Kolkata for New Delhi at 50 mph. Which is farther from New Delhi when they meet?
But don't be hasty or you may feel silly afterwards.

1) Not 10 seconds, but 11 — one second per interval.

2)Rs. 1.05

3)Neither — when they meet they'll be equally distant from anywhere.
