Mind Teasers : Buses Count Maths Problem

I am the manager of a bus company. We recently expanded and as a result there was no room for all the buses. This left twelve buses out of the perimeter.

We then decided to increase the garage space and managed to increase it by forty percent. Now, there was enough room for all the buses and also, we were left with space for twelve more buses for future.

Given the data, can you calculate the number of buses my company owns at present?

There are three cars in a racing track. The track is made forming a perfect circle and is quite wide so that at one time, multiple cars can pass through it. The car which is leading is driving at 55 MPH and the slowest car is driving at 45 MPH. The car that is in middle of these two is driving in between the two speeds. For the time being you can say that the distance between the fastest car and the middle car is x miles and it is same between the middle car and the slowest car. Also, x is not equal to 0 or 1.

The car keeps running till the leading car catches up with the slowest car and then every car stops. Given the case, do you think that at any point, the distance between any two pairs will again become x miles?
