A boat can row 10 km/h in still water. If the river velocity is 2 km/h, find the distance covered downstream by the boat in 30 minutes. MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A boat can row 10 km/h in still water. If the river velocity is 2 km/h, find the distance covered downstream by the boat in 30 minutes.
A. 8 km
B. 7 km
C. 6 km
D. 5 km
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Downstream speed = 10 + 2 = 12 km/h. Time = 30 minutes = 0.5 hour. Distance covered = Speed * Time = 12 * 0.5 = 6 km.

Question #1
A train passes an electric pole in 12 seconds and a bridge of length 240 meters in 24 seconds. Find the length of the train.
A. 300 meters
B. 200 meters
C. 180 meters
D. 240 meters

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
The train takes 12 seconds to cross its own length and 24 seconds to cross its own length plus the bridge. Therefore, it takes 24 - 12 = 12 seconds to cross the 240-meter bridge. Speed = 240 / 12 = 20 m/s. Length of train = Speed * Time to cross pole = 20 * 12 = 240 meters.

Question #2
A person runs around a circular track of circumference 400 meters. If his speed is 14.4 km/h, how many rounds can he complete in 10 minutes?
A. 5 rounds
B. 6 rounds
C. 8 rounds
D. 7 rounds

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Speed = 14.4 km/h = 14.4 * (5/18) = 4 m/s. Time = 10 minutes = 600 seconds. Total distance = 4 * 600 = 2400 meters. Number of rounds = 2400 / 400 = 6 rounds.

Question #3
Two trains 120 meters and 80 meters long are running along parallel tracks in the same direction at speeds of 46 km/h and 36 km/h respectively. In what time will the faster train cross the slower train completely?
A. 80 seconds
B. 90 seconds
C. 72 seconds
D. 64 seconds

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Total distance = 120 + 80 = 200 meters. Relative speed in same direction = 46 - 36 = 10 km/h = 10 * (5/18) = 25/9 m/s. Time required = 200 / (25/9) = 200 * 9 / 25 = 8 * 9 = 72 seconds.
