A train 140 meters long tracking at 63 km/h passes a modern bridge in 24 seconds. Find the length of the bridge.
Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Speed of train = 63 * (5/18) = 17.5 m/s. Total distance handled in 24 seconds = 17.5 * 24 = 420 meters. Length of the bridge = 420 - 140 = 280 meters.
Speed of train = 63 * (5/18) = 17.5 m/s. Total distance handled in 24 seconds = 17.5 * 24 = 420 meters. Length of the bridge = 420 - 140 = 280 meters.

A man covers 40% of his journey at 40 km/h, 50% of the remaining at 30 km/h and the rest at 15 km/h. What is his average speed for the whole journey?
Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Let total distance be 100 km. First part: 40 km at 40 km/h => time = 1 hour. Remaining distance = 60 km. Second part: 50% of 60 = 30 km at 30 km/h => time = 1 hour. Remaining distance = 30 km. Third part: 30 km at 15 km/h => time = 2 hours. Total time = 1 + 1 + 2 = 4 hours. Average speed = 100 / 4 = 25 km/h.

A boat crew rows 30 km upstream and 50 km downstream, taking exactly 5 hours for each independent passage. Find the speed of the current stream.
Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Upstream speed = 30 / 5 = 6 km/h. Downstream speed = 50 / 5 = 10 km/h. Speed of current stream = (Downstream speed - Upstream speed) / 2 = (10 - 6) / 2 = 2 km/h.
Upstream speed = 30 / 5 = 6 km/h. Downstream speed = 50 / 5 = 10 km/h. Speed of current stream = (Downstream speed - Upstream speed) / 2 = (10 - 6) / 2 = 2 km/h.
