A car covers a specific distance path at an average speed of 40 km/h and returns along the same course layout at 60 km/h. Find the average speed for the round journey. MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A car covers a specific distance path at an average speed of 40 km/h and returns along the same course layout at 60 km/h. Find the average speed for the round journey.
A. 48 km/h
B. 52 km/h
C. 46 km/h
D. 50 km/h
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Average Speed = 2xy / (x + y) = (2 * 40 * 60) / (40 + 60) = 4800 / 100 = 48 km/h.

Question #1
A sound wave maps along a linear distance path at 340 m/s. How many kilometers does it cover in exactly 25 seconds?
A. 8.5 km
B. 9.0 km
C. 9.5 km
D. 8.0 km

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Distance = Speed * Time = 340 * 25 = 8500 meters. Converting to kilometers = 8500 / 1000 = 8.5 km.

Question #2
A private van covers 1/3 of a route corridor path at 10 km/h, 1/3 at 20 km/h and the final 1/3 segment sector at 60 km/h. Find the mean average speed.
A. 22 km/h
B. 16 km/h
C. 18 km/h
D. 20 km/h

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Let each third segment distance be 60 km. Total distance = 180 km. Total time taken = 60/10 + 60/20 + 60/60 = 6 + 3 + 1 = 10 hours. Average speed across route = 180 / 10 = 18 km/h.

Question #3
Two express trains 200 meters and 150 meters long are moving in the same direction at 72 km/h and 54 km/h respectively. Find the time taken by the faster train to cross the slower train completely.
A. 90 seconds
B. 80 seconds
C. 60 seconds
D. 70 seconds

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Total distance = 200 + 150 = 350 meters. Relative speed in same direction = 72 - 54 = 18 km/h = 5 m/s. Time taken = 350 / 5 = 70 seconds.
