A person runs around a square track of side 60 meters. If his speed is 12 km/h, how much time does he take to complete one round? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A person runs around a square track of side 60 meters. If his speed is 12 km/h, how much time does he take to complete one round?
A. 80 seconds
B. 64 seconds
C. 72 seconds
D. 84 seconds
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Perimeter of the track = 4 * 60 = 240 meters. Speed = 12 km/h = 12 * (5/18) = 10/3 m/s. Time required = Distance / Speed = 240 / (10/3) = 240 * 3 / 10 = 72 seconds.

Question #1 Report Error
A boat rowed downstream covers 40 km in 4 hours and manages 20 km upstream in 4 hours. Find the baseline speed of the boat in still water.
A. 8.0 km/h
B. 8.5 km/h
C. 7.0 km/h
D. 7.5 km/h

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Downstream speed = 40 / 4 = 10 km/h. Upstream speed = 20 / 4 = 5 km/h. Speed in still water = (10 + 5) / 2 = 7.5 km/h.

Question #2 Report Error
Two cars A and B leave an intersection simultaneously at right angles. A travels North at 60 km/h and B travels East at 80 km/h. Find the direct distance between them after 30 minutes.
A. 50 km
B. 70 km
C. 60 km
D. 40 km

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Time = 30 minutes = 0.5 hours. Distance covered by A = 60 * 0.5 = 30 km. Distance covered by B = 80 * 0.5 = 40 km. Distance between them = sqrt(30^2 + 40^2) = sqrt(900 + 1600) = sqrt(2500) = 50 km.

Question #3 Report Error
A cargo container vehicle spans 600 meters in exactly 40 seconds. Find its baseline speed index in km/h.
A. 48 km/h
B. 54 km/h
C. 66 km/h
D. 60 km/h

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Speed = 600 / 40 = 15 m/s. In km/h index = 15 * (18/5) = 54 km/h.
