A person crosses a 500-meter long bridge in 4 minutes. Find his speed in km/h.
A. 7.5 km/h
B. 8.5 km/h
C. 8.0 km/h
D. 6.5 km/h
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Time = 4 minutes = 240 seconds. Speed = 500 / 240 = 25/12 m/s. In km/h = (25/12) * (18/5) = 5 * 1.5 = 7.5 km/h.

Question #1 Report Error
A luxury car handles a tracking route sector of 240 km. It finishes the first half segment stretch at 40 km/h and the second half sector at 60 km/h. Find the mean average speed recorded across the full route.
A. 48 km/h
B. 52 km/h
C. 50 km/h
D. 46 km/h

Correct Answer: Option A

How long will a person take to walk around a square field of side 45 meters if his speed is 9 km/h?
A. 72 seconds
B. 90 seconds
C. 80 seconds
D. 64 seconds

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Perimeter of the square field = 4 * 45 = 180 meters. Speed = 9 km/h = 9 * (5/18) = 2.5 m/s. Time = Distance / Speed = 180 / 2.5 = 72 seconds.
