A dog spots a rabbit 200 meters away. The rabbit speeds off at 24 km/h and the dog pursues at 30 km/h. How much distance will the rabbit run before it is caught? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A dog spots a rabbit 200 meters away. The rabbit speeds off at 24 km/h and the dog pursues at 30 km/h. How much distance will the rabbit run before it is caught?
A. 900 meters
B. 750 meters
C. 800 meters
D. 850 meters
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Relative speed = 30 - 24 = 6 km/h = 6 * (5/18) = 5/3 m/s. Time to catch = 200 / (5/3) = 120 seconds. Distance run by rabbit = Speed * Time = [24 * (5/18)] * 120 = (20/3) * 120 = 800 meters.

Question #1
A car travels a distance of 300 km at a certain speed. If the speed is increased by 10 km/h, it takes 5 hours for the journey. Find the original speed.
A. 45 km/h
B. 55 km/h
C. 60 km/h
D. 50 km/h

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
New speed = 300 / 5 = 60 km/h. Since new speed is original speed + 10 km/h, the original speed = 60 - 10 = 50 km/h.

A. 5.4 km
B. 5.7 km
C. 5.1 km
D. 4.8 km

Correct Answer: Option C

Question #3
A train 150 meters long is tracking at a speed of 72 km/h. How long will it take to pass a bridge 250 meters long?
A. 22 seconds
B. 24 seconds
C. 20 seconds
D. 18 seconds

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Total distance = 150 + 250 = 400 meters. Speed = 72 * (5/18) = 20 m/s. Time taken = 400 / 20 = 20 seconds.
