A wheel has a radius of 42 cm. How many revolutions must it make to cover a distance of 132 meters?
A. 50 revolutions
B. 60 revolutions
C. 40 revolutions
D. 70 revolutions
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Circumference of the wheel = 2 * (22/7) * 42 = 264 cm = 2.64 meters. Total distance = 132 meters. Number of revolutions = 132 / 2.64 = 50 revolutions.

A train running at 72 km/h crosses a bridge 250 meters long in 20 seconds. Find the length of the train.
A. 180 meters
B. 200 meters
C. 150 meters
D. 120 meters

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Speed = 72 * (5/18) = 20 m/s. Total distance in 20 seconds = 20 * 20 = 400 meters. Length of train = 400 - 250 = 150 meters.

Question #2 Report Error
A train 130 meters long passes a bridge of length 270 meters in 30 seconds. Find the speed of the train in km/h.
A. 48 km/h
B. 50 km/h
C. 54 km/h
D. 45 km/h

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Total distance = 130 + 270 = 400 meters. Speed = 400 / 30 = 40/3 m/s. In km/h = (40/3) * (18/5) = 8 * 6 = 48 km/h.

Question #3 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. 30 km/h
B. 40 km/h
C. 35 km/h
D. 25 km/h

Correct Answer: Option A


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.
