Question #1
A car covered a distance of 240 km in 4 hours. If it decreases its speed by 10 km/h, how much time will it take to cover a distance of 300 km?
A. 5 hours
B. 6 hours
C. 5.5 hours
D. 6.5 hours

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Original speed = 240 / 4 = 60 km/h. New speed = 60 - 10 = 50 km/h. Time for 300 km = 300 / 50 = 6 hours.

Question #2
A man rows upstream 14 km and downstream 26 km, taking 4 hours each time. Find the speed of the current.
A. 1.75 km/h
B. 2.00 km/h
C. 1.50 km/h
D. 1.25 km/h

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Upstream speed = 14 / 4 = 3.5 km/h. Downstream speed = 26 / 4 = 6.5 km/h. Speed of current = (Downstream speed - Upstream speed) / 2 = (6.5 - 3.5) / 2 = 3 / 2 = 1.5 km/h.

Question #3
A student covers the distance from his house to school at 5 km/h and arrives 8 minutes late. The next day, he walks at 6 km/h and arrives 2 minutes early. Find the distance between his house and the school.
A. 4 km
B. 5 km
C. 8 km
D. 6 km

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Time difference = 8 - (-2) = 10 minutes = 1/6 hour. Let distance be d. d/5 - d/6 = 1/6 => d/30 = 1/6 => d = 5 km.
