A fast cargo van handles 360 km at 45 km/h and another 240 km at 60 km/h. Find the overall average speed. MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A fast cargo van handles 360 km at 45 km/h and another 240 km at 60 km/h. Find the overall average speed.
A. 50 km/h
B. 54 km/h
C. 52 km/h
D. 48 km/h
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Total distance = 360 + 240 = 600 km. Time for first part = 360 / 45 = 8 hours. Time for second part = 240 / 60 = 4 hours. Total time = 8 + 4 = 12 hours. Average speed = 600 / 12 = 50 km/h.

A boatman rows 16 km downstream in 2 hours and covers the same distance upstream in 4 hours. Find the speed of the boat in still water.
A. 6 km/h
B. 8 km/h
C. 5 km/h
D. 7 km/h

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Downstream speed = 16 / 2 = 8 km/h. Upstream speed = 16 / 4 = 4 km/h. Speed in still water = (8 + 4) / 2 = 6 km/h.

Question #3
A train traveling at 72 km/h crosses a platform 160 meters long in 18 seconds. Find the length of the train.
A. 240 meters
B. 180 meters
C. 220 meters
D. 200 meters

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Speed = 72 * (5/18) = 20 m/s. Total distance in 18 seconds = 20 * 18 = 360 meters. Train length + Platform length = 360 => Train length + 160 = 360 => Train length = 200 meters.
