Question #1
A train passing a stationary pole takes 8 seconds, and it requires 20 seconds to completely pass a 240-meter long platform. Find the speed of the train in km/h.
A. 72 km/h
B. 68 km/h
C. 76 km/h
D. 80 km/h

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Time taken to cross the platform distance alone = 20 - 8 = 12 seconds. Speed of train = 240 / 12 = 20 m/s. In km/h = 20 * (18/5) = 72 km/h.

Question #2
A person walks from his house to office at 5 km/h and arrives 10 minutes late. If he walks at 6 km/h, he arrives 4 minutes late. Find the distance.
A. 2.5 km
B. 4.0 km
C. 3.0 km
D. 3.5 km

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Time difference = 10 - 4 = 6 minutes = 6/60 = 0.1 hours. Let distance be d. d / 5 - d / 6 = 0.1 => d / 30 = 0.1 => d = 3 km.

Question #3
Walking at 3/5 of his typical pace, a technician reaches his field assignment 16 minutes late. Find his typical baseline time.
A. 22 minutes
B. 26 minutes
C. 24 minutes
D. 28 minutes

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
New speed = 3/5 of normal speed => New time = 5/3 of normal time. Difference = 2/3 of normal time = 16 minutes. Normal baseline time = (16 * 3) / 2 = 24 minutes.
