Question #1
A person walks from his home to his office at 3 km/h and reaches 15 minutes late. If he walks at 4 km/h, he reaches 5 minutes late. Find the distance.
A. 2.5 km
B. 1.8 km
C. 2.2 km
D. 2.0 km

Correct Answer: Option D


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.

Question #3
A legal clerk walks from his residence to the courthouse at 5 km/h and arrives 15 minutes late. If he sets a pace of 7.5 km/h, he arrives 5 minutes early. Find the distance.
A. 5.5 km
B. 5.0 km
C. 6.0 km
D. 4.5 km

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Time difference = 15 - (-5) = 20 minutes = 20/60 = 1/3 hours. Let distance be d. d/5 - d/7.5 = 1/3 => (1.5d - d) / 7.5 = 1/3 => 0.5d / 7.5 = 1/3 => d / 15 = 1/3 => d = 5 km.
