Question #1
A train 120 meters long passes a signal pole in 6 seconds. Find the time it takes to completely cross a platform 240 meters long.
A. 16 seconds
B. 20 seconds
C. 22 seconds
D. 18 seconds

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Speed of train = 120 / 6 = 20 m/s. Total distance to pass platform = 120 + 240 = 360 meters. Time required = 360 / 20 = 18 seconds.

Question #2
In a 1000m dash, competitor M beats B by 80 meters, and B beats C by 50 meters. Assuming uniform velocities, by how many meters does M beat C in that same race?
A. 122 meters
B. 130 meters
C. 134 meters
D. 126 meters

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
When M runs 1000m, B runs 920m. When B runs 1000m, C runs 950m. When B runs 920m, C runs 950 * (920/1000) = 95 * 9.2 = 874m. Therefore, M beats C by 1000 - 874 = 126 meters.

Question #3
A car covered a distance of 400 km at a uniform speed. If the uniform speed index is lowered by 10 km/h, the journey takes 2 hours longer. Find the original 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. 400 / (s - 10) - 400 / s = 2 => 200 / (s - 10) - 200 / s = 1 => 2000 = s(s - 10). Solving s^2 - 10s - 2000 = 0 yields (s - 50)(s + 40) = 0. Original speed = 50 km/h.
