A person runs at 8 km/h instead of 6 km/h and consequently covers 10 km more in the same timeframe. Find the baseline distance covered at his normal speed. MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A person runs at 8 km/h instead of 6 km/h and consequently covers 10 km more in the same timeframe. Find the baseline distance covered at his normal speed.
A. 30 km
B. 35 km
C. 40 km
D. 25 km
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Let duration be t hours. Distance difference = 8t - 6t = 2t = 10 km => t = 5 hours. Distance handled at normal speed (6 km/h) = 6 * 5 = 30 km.

A wheel makes 1000 revolutions to cover a distance of 880 meters. Find the diameter of the wheel.
A. 28 cm
B. 24 cm
C. 35 cm
D. 32 cm

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Distance covered in 1 revolution = 880 / 1000 = 0.88 meters = 88 cm. Circumference = 2 * (22/7) * r = 88 cm => (44/7) * r = 88 => r = 14 cm. Diameter = 2r = 28 cm.

A runner covers 200 meters in 22 seconds. Find his approximate speed in km/h.
A. 36.0 km/h
B. 34.2 km/h
C. 32.7 km/h
D. 30.5 km/h

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Speed = 200 / 22 m/s = 100 / 11 m/s. In km/h = (100 / 11) * (18/5) = 360 / 11 = 32.72 km/h.
