Excluding stoppages, the speed of a regional transit bus is 48 km/h and including stoppages it is 40 km/h. For how many minutes does the bus stop per hour?
A. 12 minutes
B. 8 minutes
C. 10 minutes
D. 15 minutes
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Stoppage time per hour = (48 - 40) / 48 = 8 / 48 = 1/6 hour. In minutes = (1/6) * 60 = 10 minutes.

Question #1
A man covers a distance of 12 km in 2 hours by walking. How much distance will he cover in 5 hours if he maintains the same speed?
A. 30 km
B. 35 km
C. 40 km
D. 25 km

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Speed = 12 / 2 = 6 km/h. Distance in 5 hours = 6 * 5 = 30 km.

Question #2
A car covers four successive 3 km stretches at speeds of 10 km/h, 20 km/h, 30 km/h and 60 km/h respectively. Its average speed for this distance is:
A. 24 km/h
B. 30 km/h
C. 20 km/h
D. 25 km/h

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Total distance = 4 * 3 = 12 km. Total time = 3/10 + 3/20 + 3/30 + 3/60 = (18 + 9 + 6 + 3)/60 = 36/60 = 0.6 hours. Average speed = 12 / 0.6 = 20 km/h.

Question #3
A passenger train 100 meters long clears a line worker tracking on the ballast track in 5 seconds flat when both move along the identical direction. If the line worker walks at 8 km/h, find the train speed.
A. 80 km/h
B. 76 km/h
C. 84 km/h
D. 88 km/h

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Relative tracking speed = 100 / 5 = 20 m/s = 20 * (18/5) = 72 km/h. In identical directions, Relative Speed = Speed of train - Speed of worker => 72 = Speed of train - 8 => Speed of train = 80 km/h.
