Question #1
A person covers a distance of 60 km at 15 km/h and another 40 km at 20 km/h. Find his average speed for the full journey.
A. 17.5 km/h
B. 16.66 km/h
C. 18.0 km/h
D. 16.0 km/h

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Total distance = 60 + 40 = 100 km. Time 1 = 60 / 15 = 4 hours. Time 2 = 40 / 20 = 2 hours. Total time = 6 hours. Average speed = 100 / 6 = 16.66 km/h.

Question #3
A person covers a certain distance by bicycle at a speed of 15 km/h and returns on foot at a speed of 5 km/h. If the entire trip took 4 hours, find the total distance of the one-way journey.
A. 20 km
B. 12 km
C. 15 km
D. 18 km

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Let the one-way distance be d. Time taken for forward journey = d / 15, and return journey = d / 5. Given: d/15 + d/5 = 4. Multiplying by 15: d + 3d = 60 => 4d = 60 => d = 15 km.
