A car runs at 60 km/h for 2 hours and then at 40 km/h for another 3 hours. Find the average speed of the car for the entire journey.
A. 50 km/h
B. 48 km/h
C. 52 km/h
D. 46 km/h
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Distance 1 = 60 * 2 = 120 km. Distance 2 = 40 * 3 = 120 km. Total distance = 240 km. Total time = 2 + 3 = 5 hours. Average speed = 240 / 5 = 48 km/h.

Question #1 Report Error
A train 120 meters long is running at a speed of 54 km/h. How long will it take to cross a platform 180 meters long?
A. 20 seconds
B. 24 seconds
C. 22 seconds
D. 18 seconds

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Speed of train = 54 * (5/18) = 15 m/s. Total distance = 120 + 180 = 300 meters. Time taken = 300 / 15 = 20 seconds.

Question #3 Report Error
A man can row 12 km/h in still water. He finds that it takes him twice as long to row upstream as to row downstream. Find the speed of the stream.
A. 5 km/h
B. 6 km/h
C. 4 km/h
D. 3 km/h

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Let stream speed be c. Upstream speed = 12 - c, Downstream speed = 12 + c. Given: 2 * (12 - c) = 12 + c => 24 - 2c = 12 + c => 3c = 12 => c = 4 km/h.
