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. MCQ with Answer and Explanation

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. 62 km/h
D. 60 km/h
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
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 motorboat covers 24 km downstream in 1.5 hours and covers the same distance upstream in 3 hours. Find the speed of the boat in still water.
A. 10 km/h
B. 12 km/h
C. 14 km/h
D. 15 km/h

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Downstream speed = 24 / 1.5 = 16 km/h. Upstream speed = 24 / 3 = 8 km/h. Speed in still water = (16 + 8) / 2 = 12 km/h.

Question #2
A private sedan tracks a sector path length of 480 km in 5 hours 20 minutes. Find its mean average speed index.
A. 95 km/h
B. 100 km/h
C. 85 km/h
D. 90 km/h

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Time = 5 hours 20 minutes = 5 + 20/60 = 5.333 hours = 16/3 hours. Speed index = Sector Distance / Time = 480 / (16/3) = 480 * 3 / 16 = 30 * 3 = 90 km/h.

Question #3
In a 100-meter race, A can beat B by 20 meters and B can beat C by 10 meters. By how many meters can A beat C in the same race?
A. 32 meters
B. 26 meters
C. 30 meters
D. 28 meters

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
When A covers 100m, B covers 80m. When B covers 100m, C covers 90m. Thus, when B covers 80m, C covers 90 * (80 / 100) = 72m. Therefore, when A covers 100m, C covers 72m. A beats C by 100 - 72 = 28 meters.
