A runner covers a circular path of radius 70 meters in 44 seconds. What is his speed in km/h?
A. 30 km/h
B. 36 km/h
C. 40 km/h
D. 45 km/h

Question #2
A driver covers 30% of his total route at 30 km/h and the remaining 70% at 42 km/h. What is his average speed for the full trip?
A. 40 km/h
B. 38 km/h
C. 36 km/h
D. 37.5 km/h

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Let total distance be 100 km. First section = 30 km; Time = 30 / 30 = 1 hour. Second section = 70 km; Time = 70 / 42 = 5/3 hours. Total time = 1 + 5/3 = 8/3 hours. Average speed = 100 / (8/3) = 300 / 8 = 37.5 km/h.

Question #3
A boat can row 8 km/h in still water. If the river velocity is 4 km/h, find the distance covered downstream by the boat in 45 minutes.
A. 10 km
B. 9 km
C. 12 km
D. 8 km

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Downstream speed = 8 + 4 = 12 km/h. Time = 45 minutes = 45/60 = 3/4 hour. Distance covered = Speed * Time = 12 * (3/4) = 9 km.
