A car tracks a total segment of 360 km. If the uniform speed is boosted by 15 km/h, it covers the course in 4 hours flat. Find the original speed. MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A car tracks a total segment of 360 km. If the uniform speed is boosted by 15 km/h, it covers the course in 4 hours flat. Find the original speed.
A. 85 km/h
B. 80 km/h
C. 70 km/h
D. 75 km/h
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
New speed = 360 / 4 = 90 km/h. Since the new speed is 15 km/h faster than original speed, original speed = 90 - 15 = 75 km/h.

Question #1 Report Error
A runner covers a circular path of radius 70 meters in 44 seconds. What is his speed in km/h?
A. 45 km/h
B. 30 km/h
C. 36 km/h
D. 40 km/h

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Circumference of circular path = 2 * (22/7) * 70 = 440 meters. Speed = 440 / 44 = 10 m/s. In km/h = 10 * (18/5) = 36 km/h.

A boat can row 15 km/h in still water. If the river current flows at 3 km/h, find the distance covered by the boat downstream in 20 minutes.
A. 7 km
B. 5 km
C. 8 km
D. 6 km

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Downstream speed = 15 + 3 = 18 km/h. Time = 20 minutes = 20/60 = 1/3 hour. Distance covered = Speed * Time = 18 * (1/3) = 6 km.
