A bicycle wheel of diameter 140 cm makes 300 revolutions in one minute. Find the speed of the bicycle in km/h. MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A bicycle wheel of diameter 140 cm makes 300 revolutions in one minute. Find the speed of the bicycle in km/h.
A. 79.2 km/h
B. 82.6 km/h
C. 75.4 km/h
D. 88.0 km/h
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Radius r = 70 cm = 0.7 meters. Circumference = 2 * (22/7) * 0.7 = 4.4 meters. Distance in 1 minute = 300 * 4.4 = 1320 meters. Distance in 1 hour = 1320 * 60 = 79200 meters = 79.2 km. Speed = 79.2 km/h.

Question #1 Report Error
A man rows upstream 14 km and downstream 26 km, taking 4 hours each time. Find the speed of the current.
A. 1.25 km/h
B. 1.75 km/h
C. 2.00 km/h
D. 1.50 km/h

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Upstream speed = 14 / 4 = 3.5 km/h. Downstream speed = 26 / 4 = 6.5 km/h. Speed of current = (Downstream speed - Upstream speed) / 2 = (6.5 - 3.5) / 2 = 3 / 2 = 1.5 km/h.

Walking at 3/5 of his typical pace, a technician reaches his field assignment 16 minutes late. Find his typical baseline time.
A. 26 minutes
B. 28 minutes
C. 24 minutes
D. 22 minutes

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
New speed = 3/5 of normal speed => New time = 5/3 of normal time. Difference = 2/3 of normal time = 16 minutes. Normal baseline time = (16 * 3) / 2 = 24 minutes.
