A person covers a distance of 100 km at 25 km/h and another 150 km at 50 km/h. Find his average speed for the whole journey.
A. 37.50 km/h
B. 35.5 km/h
C. 35.71 km/h
D. 38.25 km/h

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:

Question #2 Report Error
A train running at 90 km/h crosses a platform double its length in 36 seconds. What is the length of the platform?
A. 750 meters
B. 600 meters
C. 500 meters
D. 400 meters

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Speed of train = 90 * (5/18) = 25 m/s. Total distance covered in 36 seconds = 25 * 36 = 900 meters. Let train length be L, so platform length = 2L. L + 2L = 900 => 3L = 900 => L = 300 meters. Platform length = 2L = 600 meters.
