A man leaves point A at 6 AM at a speed of 4 km/h. Another man leaves point A from the same direction at 8 AM at a speed of 6 km/h. At what distance from point A will they meet? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A man leaves point A at 6 AM at a speed of 4 km/h. Another man leaves point A from the same direction at 8 AM at a speed of 6 km/h. At what distance from point A will they meet?
A. 32 km
B. 28 km
C. 20 km
D. 24 km
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
By 8 AM, the first man has traveled for 2 hours, covering 4 * 2 = 8 km. Relative speed = 6 - 4 = 2 km/h. Time taken to meet = 8 / 2 = 4 hours. Distance from A = Speed of second man * Time = 6 * 4 = 24 km.

Question #1 Report Error
A person rows 18 km downstream in 2 hours and covers the same distance upstream in 6 hours. What is the speed of the boat in still water?
A. 5 km/h
B. 8 km/h
C. 7 km/h
D. 6 km/h

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Downstream speed = 18 / 2 = 9 km/h. Upstream speed = 18 / 6 = 3 km/h. Speed in still water = (9 + 3) / 2 = 6 km/h.

Question #2 Report Error
Two cars start from the same spot and travel along perpendicular roads. One travels at 15 km/h and the other at 20 km/h. Find the distance between them after 2 hours.
A. 55 km
B. 60 km
C. 50 km
D. 45 km

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
In 2 hours, the first car travels 30 km and the second car travels 40 km. Direct distance = sqrt(30^2 + 40^2) = sqrt(900 + 1600) = sqrt(2500) = 50 km.

Question #3 Report Error
A car covers a total distance of 180 km. It travels the first half of the distance at 30 km/h and the second half at 60 km/h. Find the average speed for the full journey.
A. 50 km/h
B. 36 km/h
C. 40 km/h
D. 45 km/h

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Average Speed = 2xy / (x + y) = (2 * 30 * 60) / (30 + 60) = 3600 / 90 = 40 km/h.
