Question #1
A person walking at 3 km/h covers a certain distance. If he runs at 9 km/h, he takes 40 minutes less to cover the same distance. Find the distance.
A. 2.5 km
B. 3.5 km
C. 4.0 km
D. 3.0 km

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Time difference = 40 minutes = 40/60 = 2/3 hours. Let distance be d. d / 3 - d / 9 = 2/3 => 2d / 9 = 2/3 => 2d = 6 => d = 3 km.

Question #2
A man covers 3/5 of his journey at 60 km/h, 1/4 of his journey at 40 km/h and the remaining journey at 20 km/h. Find his average speed for the whole transaction.
A. 44.44 km/h
B. 48.00 km/h
C. 46.15 km/h
D. 42.5 km/h

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Let total distance be 400 km. First part = 240 km; Time = 240/60 = 4 hours. Second part = 100 km; Time = 100/40 = 2.5 hours. Remaining distance = 400 - 240 - 100 = 60 km; Time = 60/20 = 3 hours. Total time = 4 + 2.5 + 3 = 9.5 hours. Average speed = 400 / 9.5 = 4000 / 95 = 46.15 km/h.
