Walking at 5/7 of his usual speed, a student reaches his exam center 12 minutes late. What is his exact usual time to reach the center?
Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation:
New speed = 5/7 of usual speed => New time = 7/5 of usual time. Difference = 2/5 of usual time = 12 minutes. 1/5 of usual time = 6 minutes => Usual time = 6 * 5 = 30 minutes.

A car covers a total distance of 240 km. It travels the first half of the distance at 40 km/h and the second half at 60 km/h. Find the average speed for the full journey.
Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Average Speed = 2xy / (x + y) = (2 * 40 * 60) / (40 + 60) = 4800 / 100 = 48 km/h.
Average Speed = 2xy / (x + y) = (2 * 40 * 60) / (40 + 60) = 4800 / 100 = 48 km/h.
