Question #1 Report Error
Two cities A and B are 360 km apart. A car goes from A to B at 40 km/h and returns to A at 60 km/h. Find the average speed of the car.
A. 52 km/h
B. 48 km/h
C. 50 km/h
D. 55 km/h

Correct Answer: Option B

Question #2 Report Error
A boatman can row 4.5 km/h in still water. If the river flows at 1.5 km/h, it takes him 2 hours to row to a place and come back. How far is the place?
A. 3 km
B. 6 km
C. 4.5 km
D. 4 km

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Downstream speed = 4.5 + 1.5 = 6 km/h. Upstream speed = 4.5 - 1.5 = 3 km/h. Let distance be d. d/6 + d/3 = 2 => 3d/6 = 2 => d/2 = 2 => d = 4 km.

Question #3 Report Error
A boat can row 8 km/h in still water. If the river velocity is 4 km/h, find the distance covered downstream by the boat in 45 minutes.
A. 12 km
B. 9 km
C. 8 km
D. 10 km

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Downstream speed = 8 + 4 = 12 km/h. Time = 45 minutes = 45/60 = 3/4 hour. Distance covered = Speed * Time = 12 * (3/4) = 9 km.
