A truck covers three successive 8 km stretches at uniform speed metrics of 12 km/h, 24 km/h and 24 km/h. Find its net average speed. MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A truck covers three successive 8 km stretches at uniform speed metrics of 12 km/h, 24 km/h and 24 km/h. Find its net average speed.
A. 20 km/h
B. 22 km/h
C. 18 km/h
D. 16 km/h
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Total distance covered = 3 * 8 = 24 km. Total time taken = 8/12 + 8/24 + 8/24 = 2/3 + 1/3 + 1/3 = 4/3 hours. Average speed = 24 / (4/3) = 24 * 3 / 4 = 6 * 3 = 18 km/h.

Question #1 Report Error
A car maps a course distance of 240 km at an average speed of 60 km/h and handles the return trip at 40 km/h. Find the combined average speed.
A. 46 km/h
B. 50 km/h
C. 52 km/h
D. 48 km/h

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Average Speed = 2xy / (x + y) = (2 * 60 * 40) / (60 + 40) = 4800 / 100 = 48 km/h.

A man rows a boat 20 km downstream in 2 hours and returns upstream in 5 hours. Find the speed of the stream.
A. 2.5 km/h
B. 4.0 km/h
C. 3.0 km/h
D. 3.5 km/h

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Downstream speed = 20 / 2 = 10 km/h. Upstream speed = 20 / 5 = 4 km/h. Speed of stream = (10 - 4) / 2 = 6 / 2 = 3 km/h.

A mechanical wheel has a radius of 7 cm. How many revolutions are required to cover a linear distance of 44 meters?
A. 100
B. 80
C. 150
D. 120

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Circumference of the wheel = 2 * (22/7) * 7 = 44 cm = 0.44 meters. Total distance = 44 meters. Number of revolutions = 44 / 0.44 = 100.
