Question #1
The speed of two luxury sedans are in the ratio 6 : 7. If car A takes 2.1 hours to cover a specific lap distance, find the time taken by car B.
A. 1.5 hours
B. 2.0 hours
C. 1.8 hours
D. 2.2 hours

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Ratio of speeds A:B = 6:7, so ratio of times taken A:B = 7:6. Given 7 parts = 2.1 hours for car A => 1 part = 0.3 hours. Time taken by car B = 6 parts = 6 * 0.3 = 1.8 hours.

A boat crew rows 24 km downstream in 3 hours and logs the same route track upstream in 6 hours. Find the speed of the boat hull in still water.
A. 8 km/h
B. 5 km/h
C. 6 km/h
D. 7 km/h

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Downstream speed = 24 / 3 = 8 km/h. Upstream speed = 24 / 6 = 4 km/h. Speed in still water = (8 + 4) / 2 = 6 km/h.

Question #3
A runner tracks a circular field loop course of radius 70 meters. If his speed registers at 20 m/s, find the total loop rounds completed by him in 2 minutes 12 seconds.
A. 5 rounds
B. 8 rounds
C. 6 rounds
D. 7 rounds

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Circumference = 2 * (22/7) * 70 = 440 meters. Time = 2 minutes 12 seconds = 132 seconds. Total distance wrapped = Speed * Time = 20 * 132 = 2640 meters. Number of loop rounds completed = 2640 / 440 = 6 rounds.
