A cyclist covers a distance of 750 meters in 2 minutes 30 seconds. What is the speed of the cyclist in km/h?
A. 20 km/h
B. 18 km/h
C. 24 km/h
D. 15 km/h
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Time = 2 minutes + 30 seconds = 150 seconds. Speed = 750 / 150 = 5 m/s. Converting to km/h: 5 * (18/5) = 18 km/h.

Question #1
A train 250 meters long takes 30 seconds to cross a man running at 6 km/h in the opposite direction. Find the speed of the train.
A. 36 km/h
B. 24 km/h
C. 30 km/h
D. 42 km/h

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Relative speed = 250 / 30 = 25/3 m/s = (25/3) * (18/5) = 30 km/h. In opposite directions, Relative Speed = Speed of train + Speed of man => 30 = Speed of train + 6 => Speed of train = 24 km/h.

B. 330 meters
C. 600 meters
D. 660 meters

Correct Answer: Option B
