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? MCQ with Answer and Explanation
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 person walks from his home to his shop at a speed of 5 km/h and arrives 6 minutes early. If he walks at 4 km/h, he arrives 6 minutes late. Find the distance between his home and shop.
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.
