A cyclist rides from his village to town at 16 km/h and returns at 12 km/h. If the entire journey takes 7 hours, what is the distance from the village to the town?
A. 42 km
B. 45 km
C. 54 km
D. 48 km
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Let distance be d. d/16 + d/12 = 7 => (3d + 4d) / 48 = 7 => 7d / 48 = 7 => d = 48 km.

A wheel has a radius of 14 cm. How many revolutions must it make to cover a distance of 88 meters?
A. 80
B. 150
C. 100
D. 120

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Circumference of the wheel = 2 * (22/7) * 14 = 88 cm = 0.88 meters. Total distance = 88 meters. Number of revolutions = 88 / 0.88 = 100.

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. 10 km
C. 12 km
D. 16 km

Correct Answer: Option C


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.

Two trains 100 meters and 120 meters long are running in the same direction at speeds of 72 km/h and 54 km/h respectively. In how much time will the faster train cross the slower train completely?
A. 44 seconds
B. 40 seconds
C. 48 seconds
D. 36 seconds

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Total distance = 100 + 120 = 220 meters. Relative speed = 72 - 54 = 18 km/h = 5 m/s. Time taken = 220 / 5 = 44 seconds.
