A car covers a certain distance at an average speed of 60 km/h in 4 hours. At what speed must it travel to cover the same distance in 3 hours?
A. 75 km/h
B. 85 km/h
C. 80 km/h
D. 90 km/h
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)

Question #1
A person crosses a 600-meter long street in 5 minutes. What is his speed in km/h?
A. 10 km/h
B. 7.2 km/h
C. 8.4 km/h
D. 3.6 km/h

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Time = 5 minutes = 300 seconds. Speed = 600 / 300 = 2 m/s. Speed in km/h = 2 * (18/5) = 36 / 5 = 7.2 km/h.

Question #2
A hound pursues a fox that is initially 150 meters ahead. The fox flies at 30 km/h and the hound targets at 36 km/h. Find the total distance the fox runs before capture.
A. 850 meters
B. 700 meters
C. 750 meters
D. 800 meters

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Relative speed = 36 - 30 = 6 km/h = 5/3 m/s. Time required for capture = 150 / (5/3) = 90 seconds. Distance run by fox = Speed * Time = [30 * (5/18)] * 90 = (25/3) * 90 = 750 meters.

Question #3
A sedan covers a distance path of 480 km at a uniform tracking speed. If the speed index is lowered by 10 km/h, the trip records 2 hours longer. Find the original baseline speed.
A. 60 km/h
B. 45 km/h
C. 55 km/h
D. 50 km/h

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Let original speed be s. 480 / (s - 10) - 480 / s = 2 => 240 / (s - 10) - 240 / s = 1 => 2400 = s(s - 10). Solving s^2 - 10s - 2400 = 0 gives (s - 50)(s + 40) = 0. Baseline speed = 50 km/h.
