A boat can row 15 km/h in still water. If the velocity index of the stream tracks at 3 km/h, find the time parameter taken by the boat to row 36 km upstream. MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A boat can row 15 km/h in still water. If the velocity index of the stream tracks at 3 km/h, find the time parameter taken by the boat to row 36 km upstream.
A. 2.5 hours
B. 4.0 hours
C. 3.5 hours
D. 3.0 hours
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Upstream speed = 15 - 3 = 12 km/h. Time taken = Distance / Upstream speed = 36 / 12 = 3 hours.

Question #1
A cargo train running at 64 km/h overtakes a cyclist riding at 10 km/h in the same direction in 10 seconds. Find the length of the train.
A. 140 meters
B. 150 meters
C. 180 meters
D. 160 meters

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Relative speed = 64 - 10 = 54 km/h = 54 * (5/18) = 15 m/s. Length of train = Relative speed * Time = 15 * 10 = 150 meters.

Question #2
A train 240 meters long passes a static utility pole in 12 seconds. Find the time it takes to completely pass a platform of length 360 meters.
A. 35 seconds
B. 26 seconds
C. 30 seconds
D. 32 seconds

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Speed of train = 240 / 12 = 20 m/s. Total distance to pass platform = 240 + 360 = 600 meters. Time taken = 600 / 20 = 30 seconds.

Question #3
A locomotive running at 54 km/h takes 20 seconds to completely cross a platform. If it takes 8 seconds to pass a standing point observer, find the platform length.
A. 200 meters
B. 220 meters
C. 180 meters
D. 160 meters

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Speed of train = 54 * (5/18) = 15 m/s. Length of train = Speed * Time to cross observer = 15 * 8 = 120 meters. Total distance to cross platform = Speed * Time = 15 * 20 = 300 meters. Platform length = 300 - 120 = 180 meters.
