A car covers a distance from town X to town Y at a speed of 45 km/h and returns at a speed of 75 km/h. If the total journey takes 8 hours, find the one-way distance between the two towns. MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A car covers a distance from town X to town Y at a speed of 45 km/h and returns at a speed of 75 km/h. If the total journey takes 8 hours, find the one-way distance between the two towns.
A. 250 km
B. 210 km
C. 225 km
D. 240 km
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Let the one-way distance be d km. Time taken forward = d/45 and return = d/75. Given: d/45 + d/75 = 8. (5d + 3d) / 225 = 8 => 8d / 225 = 8 => d = 225 km.

Question #1
The speed of a boat in still water is 15 km/h and the speed of the current is 3 km/h. How much distance can the boat cover upstream in exactly 3 hours?
A. 32 km
B. 40 km
C. 36 km
D. 44 km

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Upstream speed = 15 - 3 = 12 km/h. Distance covered in 3 hours = Upstream Speed * Time = 12 * 3 = 36 km.

Question #2
A standard boat can row 12 km/h in still water. If the speed of the current is 2 km/h, find the time required to log 30 km upstream.
A. 2.5 hours
B. 4.0 hours
C. 3.5 hours
D. 3.0 hours

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Upstream speed = 12 - 2 = 10 km/h. Time required = Distance / Upstream speed = 30 / 10 = 3 hours.

Question #3
A train 160 meters long passes a signal pole in 8 seconds. Find the time it takes to completely cross a platform 320 meters long.
A. 28 seconds
B. 24 seconds
C. 26 seconds
D. 22 seconds

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Speed of train = 160 / 8 = 20 m/s. Total distance to pass platform = 160 + 320 = 480 meters. Time required = 480 / 20 = 24 seconds.
