A car ascends an incline path 24 km long at 6 km/h and maps the return path descent at 12 km/h. Find the net average speed for the round course. MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A car ascends an incline path 24 km long at 6 km/h and maps the return path descent at 12 km/h. Find the net average speed for the round course.
A. 8.8 km/h
B. 9.6 km/h
C. 7.2 km/h
D. 8.0 km/h
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Average Speed = 2xy / (x + y) = (2 * 6 * 12) / (6 + 12) = 144 / 18 = 8 km/h.

Question #1
A stream flows at 3 km/h. A boat can row 9 km/h in still water. How much time does it take to go 24 km downstream and return upstream to the starting point?
A. 8 hours
B. 6 hours
C. 5 hours
D. 7 hours

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Downstream speed = 9 + 3 = 12 km/h. Upstream speed = 9 - 3 = 6 km/h. Time taken = 24/12 + 24/6 = 2 + 4 = 6 hours.

Question #2
A cyclist covers 500 meters in 2 minutes. What is his speed in km/h?
A. 15 km/h
B. 18 km/h
C. 12 km/h
D. 16 km/h

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Time = 2 minutes = 120 seconds. Speed = 500 / 120 = 25/6 m/s. In km/h = (25/6) * (18/5) = 5 * 3 = 15 km/h.

Question #3
The speed of a boat downstream is 18 km/h and upstream is 12 km/h. How much distance can the boat cover in still water in 3 hours?
A. 42 km
B. 48 km
C. 54 km
D. 45 km

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Speed of the boat in still water = (Downstream Speed + Upstream Speed) / 2 = (18 + 12) / 2 = 15 km/h. Distance covered in 3 hours = 15 * 3 = 45 km.
