Question #1 Report Error
A courier covers 40 km of his shift route at 20 km/h and the remaining 60 km at 30 km/h. Find his average speed across the whole shift.
A. 26 km/h
B. 24 km/h
C. 25 km/h
D. 28 km/h

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Total distance = 40 + 60 = 100 km. Time for first sector = 40 / 20 = 2 hours. Time for second sector = 60 / 30 = 2 hours. Total time = 4 hours. Average speed = 100 / 4 = 25 km/h.

Question #2 Report Error
A man can walk a distance in 4 hours and ride back in 3 hours. If he walks both ways, he takes 8 hours. How much time will he take if he rides both ways?
A. 6 hours
B. 5 hours
C. 7 hours
D. 8 hours

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Let walking time one way be W and riding time one way be R. W + R = 7 hours. Walking both ways: 2W = 8 => W = 4 hours. Substituting W in first equation: 4 + R = 7 => R = 3 hours. Riding both ways: 2R = 2 * 3 = 6 hours.

Question #3 Report Error
Two trains 110 meters and 90 meters long are running in opposite directions at speeds of 36 km/h and 54 km/h respectively. In what time will they pass each other completely?
A. 12 seconds
B. 6 seconds
C. 8 seconds
D. 10 seconds

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Total distance = 110 + 90 = 200 meters. Relative speed in opposite directions = 36 + 54 = 90 km/h = 90 * (5/18) = 25 m/s. Time taken = 200 / 25 = 8 seconds.
