A runner covers 200 meters in 22 seconds. Find his approximate speed in km/h. MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A runner covers 200 meters in 22 seconds. Find his approximate speed in km/h.
A. 32.7 km/h
B. 30.5 km/h
C. 34.2 km/h
D. 36.0 km/h
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Speed = 200 / 22 m/s = 100 / 11 m/s. In km/h = (100 / 11) * (18/5) = 360 / 11 = 32.72 km/h.

Question #1
Two trains 110 meters and 90 meters long are running in opposite directions at speeds of 36 km/h and 54 km/h respectively. In what time will they pass each other completely?
A. 8 seconds
B. 12 seconds
C. 6 seconds
D. 10 seconds

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Total distance = 110 + 90 = 200 meters. Relative speed in opposite directions = 36 + 54 = 90 km/h = 90 * (5/18) = 25 m/s. Time taken = 200 / 25 = 8 seconds.

Question #3
A swimmer can traverse 36 km downstream in 3 hours and covers 12 km upstream in 3 hours. Find the swimmer's baseline speed in still water.
A. 9 km/h
B. 8 km/h
C. 10 km/h
D. 7 km/h

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Downstream speed = 36 / 3 = 12 km/h. Upstream speed = 12 / 3 = 4 km/h. Speed in still water = (12 + 4) / 2 = 16 / 2 = 8 km/h.
