Question #1 Report Error
A regular passenger bus tracks a route divided into three equal segments. It runs the segments at 20 km/h, 30 km/h, and 60 km/h respectively. Find the average speed across the whole route.
A. 35 km/h
B. 40 km/h
C. 30 km/h
D. 25 km/h

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Let each segment distance be 60 km. Total distance = 3 * 60 = 180 km. Total time = 60/20 + 60/30 + 60/60 = 3 + 2 + 1 = 6 hours. Average speed = 180 / 6 = 30 km/h.

A runner covers a 400-meter track. The winner finishes in 40 seconds, while the runner-up takes 44 seconds. By what distance does the winner beat the runner-up?
A. 34.2 meters
B. 38.5 meters
C. 36.36 meters
D. 40.0 meters

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Speed of runner-up = 400 / 44 = 100 / 11 m/s. Distance covered by runner-up in 40 seconds = (100 / 11) * 40 = 4000 / 11 = 363.63 meters. Winning margin = 400 - 363.63 = 36.36 meters.
