A passenger train 200 meters long crosses a platform 300 meters long in 20 seconds. What is the speed of the train in km/h?
A. 80 km/h
B. 100 km/h
C. 90 km/h
D. 110 km/h
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Total distance = 200 + 300 = 500 meters. Speed = 500 / 20 = 25 m/s. Converting to km/h = 25 * (18/5) = 90 km/h.

Question #1
A schoolboy covers his walk to school at 4 km/h and arrives 9 minutes late. The next day, he steps up his pace to 6 km/h and arrives 1 minute early. Find the distance.
A. 2.0 km
B. 2.5 km
C. 2.2 km
D. 1.8 km

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Time difference = 9 - (-1) = 10 minutes = 10/60 = 1/6 hours. Let distance be d. d/4 - d/6 = 1/6 => d/12 = 1/6 => d = 2 km.

B. 6 km
C. 5 km
D. 3 km

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Time difference = 6 - (-6) = 12 minutes = 12/60 = 1/5 hour. Let distance be d. d/4 - d/5 = 1/5 => d/20 = 1/5 => d = 4 km.

Question #3
A person covers 1/3 of a distance at 20 km/h, 1/3 at 30 km/h and the last 1/3 at 60 km/h. Find the average speed.
A. 32 km/h
B. 30 km/h
C. 35 km/h
D. 28 km/h

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Let each third of the distance be 60 km. Total distance = 180 km. Total time taken = 60/20 + 60/30 + 60/60 = 3 + 2 + 1 = 6 hours. Average speed = 180 / 6 = 30 km/h.
