If a delivery agent cycles at 15 km/h instead of 11 km/h, he travels 20 km more in the same allotted duration. Find the actual distance covered by him at his lower speed.
A. 55 km
B. 65 km
C. 50 km
D. 60 km

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Let the time duration be t hours. Distance difference = 15t - 11t = 4t = 20 km => t = 5 hours. Distance covered at lower speed = 11 * 5 = 55 km.

A man can row 8 km/h in still water. If the river is running at 4 km/h, it takes him 6 hours to row to a place and back. How far is the place?
A. 24 km
B. 18 km
C. 16 km
D. 20 km

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Downstream speed = 8 + 4 = 12 km/h. Upstream speed = 8 - 4 = 4 km/h. Let distance be d. d/12 + d/4 = 6 => 4d/12 = 6 => d/3 = 6 => d = 18 km.

A sonar signal takes 6 seconds to travel down to an underwater reef and reflect back to the vessel. If the speed of sound in water is 1500 m/s, find the depth of the reef in kilometers.
A. 4.2 km
B. 5.0 km
C. 4.8 km
D. 4.5 km

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Total travel time to reef and back = 6 seconds. Time to reach reef = 3 seconds. Depth = Speed * Time = 1500 * 3 = 4500 meters = 4.5 km.
