A private sedan tracks a sector path length of 480 km in 5 hours 20 minutes. Find its mean average speed index. MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A private sedan tracks a sector path length of 480 km in 5 hours 20 minutes. Find its mean average speed index.
A. 95 km/h
B. 90 km/h
C. 100 km/h
D. 85 km/h
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Time = 5 hours 20 minutes = 5 + 20/60 = 5.333 hours = 16/3 hours. Speed index = Sector Distance / Time = 480 / (16/3) = 480 * 3 / 16 = 30 * 3 = 90 km/h.

A train passes a platform 110 meters long in 40 seconds and a boy standing on the platform in 30 seconds. Find the length of the train.
A. 330 meters
B. 400 meters
C. 300 meters
D. 350 meters

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Let length of train be L. Speed = L/30. Also, Speed = (L+110)/40. So L/30 = (L+110)/40 => 4L = 3L + 330 => L = 330 meters.

A person covers a distance of 12 km in 1 hour 30 minutes. What is his speed in meters per second?
A. 2.50 m/s
B. 2.00 m/s
C. 2.77 m/s
D. 2.22 m/s

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Time = 1.5 hours. Speed = 12 / 1.5 = 8 km/h. To convert into m/s, multiply by 5/18. Speed = 8 * (5/18) = 40 / 18 = 2.22 m/s.
