A boatman can row 16 km/h in still water. If the river velocity index tracks at 4 km/h, find the time interval required by the boat hull to row 48 km upstream. MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A boatman can row 16 km/h in still water. If the river velocity index tracks at 4 km/h, find the time interval required by the boat hull to row 48 km upstream.
A. 4.5 hours
B. 4.0 hours
C. 5.0 hours
D. 3.5 hours
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Upstream tracking speed = 16 - 4 = 12 km/h. Time required = Sector Distance / Upstream Speed = 48 / 12 = 4 hours.

Question #1
A train passing a standing man takes 9 seconds, and it takes 21 seconds to pass a 240-meter long platform. Find the speed of the train in km/h.
A. 80 km/h
B. 64 km/h
C. 90 km/h
D. 72 km/h

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Time taken to cross the platform alone = 21 - 9 = 12 seconds. Speed of train = 240 / 12 = 20 m/s. In km/h = 20 * (18/5) = 72 km/h.

Question #2
A acoustic sensor records a sound wave. If the echo of the pulse reflects from an obstacle after 3 seconds, find the distance of the obstacle from the origin given the speed of sound is 340 m/s.
A. 510 meters
B. 480 meters
C. 960 meters
D. 1020 meters

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Total path distance covered by the wave = 340 * 3 = 1020 meters. Distance to the obstacle = 1020 / 2 = 510 meters.

Question #3
A train 150 meters long takes 20 seconds to cross a platform 250 meters long. Find the speed of the train in km/h.
A. 50 km/h
B. 64 km/h
C. 80 km/h
D. 72 km/h

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Total distance = 150 + 250 = 400 meters. Time = 20 seconds. Speed = 400 / 20 = 20 m/s. Speed in km/h = 20 * (18/5) = 72 km/h.
