A cyclist covers 750 meters in 2 minutes 30 seconds. Find his speed in km/h. MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A cyclist covers 750 meters in 2 minutes 30 seconds. Find his speed in km/h.
A. 15 km/h
B. 18 km/h
C. 22 km/h
D. 20 km/h
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Time = 2 minutes 30 seconds = 150 seconds. Speed = 750 / 150 = 5 m/s. In km/h = 5 * (18/5) = 18 km/h.

Question #1
A train running at 72 km/h passes an active signal pole in 10 seconds. Find the length of the train.
A. 220 meters
B. 240 meters
C. 200 meters
D. 180 meters

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Speed = 72 * (5/18) = 20 m/s. Length of train = Speed * Time = 20 * 10 = 200 meters.

Question #2
The speed tracking profile of an express train is exactly 25% higher than a commercial car. Both take off from terminal A together and reach terminal B, 200 km away, at the same instant. On the corridor route, the train logs a total stall of 20 minutes at checkpoints. Find the car speed.
A. 120 km/h
B. 100 km/h
C. 150 km/h
D. 140 km/h

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Let car speed be c, then train tracking speed is 1.25c. Time difference parameter = 200/c - 200/(1.25c) = 20/60 hours = 1/3 hours. 200/c * (1 - 1/1.25) = 1/3 => 200/c * (0.25/1.25) = 1/3 => 200/c * (1/5) = 1/3 => 40/c = 1/3 => c = 120 km/h.

Question #3
A train 260 meters long passes a roadside signal box in 13 seconds. How long will it take to pass a bridge 440 meters long?
A. 35 seconds
B. 38 seconds
C. 40 seconds
D. 32 seconds

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Speed of train = 260 / 13 = 20 m/s. Total distance to cross the bridge = 260 + 440 = 700 meters. Time required = 700 / 20 = 35 seconds.
