Question #1 Report Error
Walking at 3/4 of his normal pace, a student is 12 minutes late. Find his usual time.
A. 44 minutes
B. 32 minutes
C. 36 minutes
D. 40 minutes

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. 25 km
B. 40 km
C. 35 km
D. 30 km

Correct Answer: Option D

Question #3 Report Error
A person reaches his destination 40 minutes late if his speed is 3 km/h, and reaches 30 minutes early if his speed is 4 km/h. Find the distance to his destination.
A. 16 km
B. 12 km
C. 15 km
D. 14 km

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Time difference = 40 - (-30) = 70 minutes = 70 / 60 = 7/6 hours. Let distance be d. d/3 - d/4 = 7/6 => d/12 = 7/6 => d = 14 km.
