A contract courier can travel at 40 km/h to deliver a package on time. If he travels at 30 km/h, he is late by 2 hours. What is the distance he has to cover?
A. 240 km
B. 180 km
C. 260 km
D. 300 km
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Let the distance be d. Time difference = 2 hours. d/30 - d/40 = 2 => (4d - 3d) / 120 = 2 => d / 120 = 2 => d = 240 km.

Question #1
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. 70 seconds
D. 60 seconds

Correct Answer: Option C


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.

C. 1.8 km
D. 2.2 km

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Time difference = 15 - 5 = 10 minutes = 10/60 = 1/6 hour. Let distance be d. d / 3 - d / 4 = 1/6 => d / 12 = 1/6 => d = 2 km.
