A car tracks a total segment of 360 km. If the uniform speed is boosted by 15 km/h, it covers the course in 4 hours flat. Find the original speed. MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A car tracks a total segment of 360 km. If the uniform speed is boosted by 15 km/h, it covers the course in 4 hours flat. Find the original speed.
A. 70 km/h
B. 85 km/h
C. 80 km/h
D. 75 km/h
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
New speed = 360 / 4 = 90 km/h. Since the new speed is 15 km/h faster than original speed, original speed = 90 - 15 = 75 km/h.

Question #1
A man can row 6 km/h in still water. If the speed of the current is 2 km/h, it takes him 3 hours to row to a place and back. How far is the place?
A. 12 km
B. 8 km
C. 6 km
D. 10 km

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Downstream speed = 6 + 2 = 8 km/h. Upstream speed = 6 - 2 = 4 km/h. Let distance be d. d/8 + d/4 = 3 => (d + 2d)/8 = 3 => 3d/8 = 3 => d = 8 km.

Question #2
A train passes a 110-meter long bridge in 12 seconds and a standard sign post in 7 seconds. Find the length of the train.
A. 160 meters
B. 175 meters
C. 154 meters
D. 140 meters

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Time taken to cross the bridge alone = 12 - 7 = 5 seconds. Speed of train = 110 / 5 = 22 m/s. Length of train = Speed * Time to cross sign post = 22 * 7 = 154 meters.

Question #3
A car ascends an incline path 24 km long at 6 km/h and maps the return path descent at 12 km/h. Find the net average speed for the round course.
A. 8.0 km/h
B. 8.8 km/h
C. 9.6 km/h
D. 7.2 km/h

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Average Speed = 2xy / (x + y) = (2 * 6 * 12) / (6 + 12) = 144 / 18 = 8 km/h.
