A delivery van driver walks at 5 km/h and arrives 12 minutes late at his drop station. If he tracks at 8 km/h, he reaches 3 minutes early. Find the sector distance.
A. 4.00 km
B. 3.0 km
C. 3.33 km
D. 3.66 km
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Time difference = 12 - (-3) = 15 minutes = 1/4 hours. Let distance be d. d/5 - d/8 = 1/4 => 3d/40 = 1/4 => 3d = 10 => d = 3.33 km.

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. 75 km/h
C. 85 km/h
D. 80 km/h

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
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 #2
A train passes a platform 110 meters long in 40 seconds and a boy standing on the platform in 30 seconds. Find the length of the train.
A. 400 meters
B. 300 meters
C. 330 meters
D. 350 meters

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Let length of train be L. Speed = L/30. Also, Speed = (L+110)/40. So L/30 = (L+110)/40 => 4L = 3L + 330 => L = 330 meters.

Excluding stoppages, the speed of a train is 72 km/h and including stoppages it is 60 km/h. How many minutes does the train stop per hour?
A. 8 minutes
B. 10 minutes
C. 15 minutes
D. 12 minutes

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Stoppage time per hour = (72 - 60) / 72 = 12 / 72 = 1/6 hour. In minutes = (1/6) * 60 = 10 minutes.
