A car covers a distance of 100 km at 40 km/h and another 150 km at 50 km/h. Find the average speed for the complete trip. MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A car covers a distance of 100 km at 40 km/h and another 150 km at 50 km/h. Find the average speed for the complete trip.
A. 46.5 km/h
B. 44.2 km/h
C. 48.0 km/h
D. 45.45 km/h
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Total distance = 100 + 150 = 250 km. Time 1 = 100 / 40 = 2.5 hours. Time 2 = 150 / 50 = 3 hours. Total time = 5.5 hours. Average speed = 250 / 5.5 = 45.45 km/h.

Question #1
In a 100-meter race, A can beat B by 10 meters and C by 19 meters. In a race of 90 meters, by how many meters can B beat C?
A. 9 meters
B. 8 meters
C. 10 meters
D. 11 meters

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
When A covers 100m, B covers 90m and C covers 81m. This means in a distance where B covers 90 meters, C covers 81 meters. Therefore, B beats C by 90 - 81 = 9 meters.

Question #2
A car runs at 50 km/h for 3 hours and then tracks at 70 km/h for the next 2 hours. Find the average speed across the whole route.
A. 56 km/h
B. 58 km/h
C. 60 km/h
D. 62 km/h

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Distance 1 = 50 * 3 = 150 km. Distance 2 = 70 * 2 = 140 km. Total distance = 290 km. Total time = 5 hours. Average speed = 290 / 5 = 58 km/h.

A person row a boat 16 km upstream in 4 hours. If the speed of the current is 1 km/h, find the speed of the boat in still water.
A. 7 km/h
B. 5 km/h
C. 6 km/h
D. 4 km/h

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Upstream speed = 16 / 4 = 4 km/h. Upstream Speed = Speed in still water - Current speed => 4 = Speed in still water - 1 => Speed in still water = 5 km/h.
