A professional athlete tracks a loop of radius 140 meters in 88 seconds. What is his speed in km/h?
A. 40 km/h
B. 36 km/h
C. 44 km/h
D. 32 km/h
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Circumference of loop = 2 * (22/7) * 140 = 880 meters. Speed = 880 / 88 = 10 m/s. Converting to km/h = 10 * (18/5) = 36 km/h.

Question #1 Report Error
A thief is spotted by a policeman from a distance of 150 meters. The thief runs at 11 km/h and the policeman chases him at 12 km/h. Find the distance covered by the thief before he is caught.
A. 1950 meters
B. 1800 meters
C. 1650 meters
D. 1500 meters

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Relative speed = 12 - 11 = 1 km/h. Time to catch the thief = 0.15 km / 1 km/h = 0.15 hours. Distance covered by thief = Speed * Time = 11 km/h * 0.15 hours = 1.65 km = 1650 meters.

Question #3 Report Error
A person covers a distance of 12 km in 1 hour 30 minutes. What is his speed in meters per second?
A. 2.00 m/s
B. 2.77 m/s
C. 2.50 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.
