A civilian covers a 2400-meter long walkway in exactly 8 minutes. Find his moving speed in km/h.
A. 22 km/h
B. 15 km/h
C. 20 km/h
D. 18 km/h
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Time = 8 minutes = 480 seconds. Speed = 2400 / 480 = 5 m/s. Converting to km/h = 5 * (18/5) = 18 km/h.

Question #1 Report Error
Two trains 140 meters and 160 meters long are running at the speeds of 60 km/h and 40 km/h respectively in opposite directions on parallel tracks. What is the time taken by them to cross each other completely?
A. 10 seconds
B. 10.8 seconds
C. 9 seconds
D. 12 seconds

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Total distance to be covered = 140 + 160 = 300 meters. Relative speed = 60 + 40 = 100 km/h = 100 * (5/18) = 250/9 m/s. Time = Distance / Speed = 300 / (250/9) = 300 * 9 / 250 = 10.8 seconds.

A baseline boat hull can row 12 km/h in still water. If the river current tracks a velocity of 4 km/h, find the exact sector distance covered downstream by the boat hull in 45 minutes flat.
A. 14 km
B. 12 km
C. 10 km
D. 16 km

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Downstream speed = 12 + 4 = 16 km/h. Time = 45 minutes = 45/60 = 0.75 hours = 3/4 hour. Distance covered = Speed * Time = 16 * (3/4) = 12 km.
