Question #1
A cyclist covers a distance of 750 meters in 2 minutes 30 seconds. What is the speed of the cyclist in km/h?
A. 15 km/h
B. 20 km/h
C. 18 km/h
D. 24 km/h

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Time = 2 minutes + 30 seconds = 150 seconds. Speed = 750 / 150 = 5 m/s. Converting to km/h: 5 * (18/5) = 18 km/h.

Question #2
The speeds of two running trains are in the ratio 7 : 9. Moving along parallel tracks in opposite directions, they take 4 seconds each to cross a telegraph post. Find the time taken by them to cross each other completely.
A. 3.5 seconds
B. 4.5 seconds
C. 5 seconds
D. 4 seconds

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Let the speeds be 7x and 9x. Length of first train = 7x * 4 = 28x. Length of second train = 9x * 4 = 36x. Total distance to cross each other = 28x + 36x = 64x. Relative speed in opposite directions = 7x + 9x = 16x. Time taken = 64x / 16x = 4 seconds.

Question #3
Excluding stoppages, the speed of a train is 90 km/h and including stoppages it is 75 km/h. How many minutes does the train stop per hour?
A. 12 minutes
B. 15 minutes
C. 8 minutes
D. 10 minutes

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Stoppage time per hour = (90 - 75) / 90 = 15 / 90 = 1/6 hour. In minutes = (1/6) * 60 = 10 minutes.
