A train 200 meters long passes a static utility pole in 10 seconds. Find the time it takes to completely pass a platform of length 400 meters.
A. 30 seconds
B. 26 seconds
C. 35 seconds
D. 32 seconds
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Speed of train = 200 / 10 = 20 m/s. Total distance to pass platform = 200 + 400 = 600 meters. Time taken = 600 / 20 = 30 seconds.

Question #1 Report Error
A man walks at a speed of 6 km/h instead of 5 km/h and thereby covers 12 km more in the same duration. Find the actual distance covered by him at his normal speed.
A. 72 km
B. 80 km
C. 60 km
D. 50 km

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Let duration be t hours. Distance difference = 6t - 5t = t = 12 hours. Distance at normal speed (5 km/h) = 5 * 12 = 60 km.

Question #2 Report Error
A man rows downstream 48 km in 4 hours and upstream 24 km in 4 hours. Find the speed of the boat in still water.
A. 8 km/h
B. 9 km/h
C. 10 km/h
D. 12 km/h

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Downstream speed = 48 / 4 = 12 km/h. Upstream speed = 24 / 4 = 6 km/h. Speed in still water = (Downstream speed + Upstream speed) / 2 = (12 + 6) / 2 = 9 km/h.

Question #3 Report Error
A car covers a distance of 100 km at 40 km/h and another 150 km at 50 km/h. Find the average speed for the complete trip.
A. 48.0 km/h
B. 45.45 km/h
C. 44.2 km/h
D. 46.5 km/h

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Total distance = 100 + 150 = 250 km. Time 1 = 100 / 40 = 2.5 hours. Time 2 = 150 / 50 = 3 hours. Total time = 5.5 hours. Average speed = 250 / 5.5 = 45.45 km/h.
