A jogger covers a distance of 18 km in 2 hours. If he runs at 1.5 times his original speed, how much time will he take to cover a distance of 27 km? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A jogger covers a distance of 18 km in 2 hours. If he runs at 1.5 times his original speed, how much time will he take to cover a distance of 27 km?
A. 2.5 hours
B. 1.5 hours
C. 2 hours
D. 3 hours
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Original speed = 18 / 2 = 9 km/h. New speed = 1.5 * 9 = 13.5 km/h. Time needed for 27 km = 27 / 13.5 = 2 hours.

Question #1
A person runs at 8 km/h instead of 6 km/h and consequently covers 10 km more in the same timeframe. Find the baseline distance covered at his normal speed.
A. 40 km
B. 30 km
C. 35 km
D. 25 km

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Let duration be t hours. Distance difference = 8t - 6t = 2t = 10 km => t = 5 hours. Distance handled at normal speed (6 km/h) = 6 * 5 = 30 km.

Question #2
A wheel makes 1000 revolutions to cover a distance of 880 meters. Find the diameter of the wheel.
A. 35 cm
B. 32 cm
C. 28 cm
D. 24 cm

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Distance covered in 1 revolution = 880 / 1000 = 0.88 meters = 88 cm. Circumference = 2 * (22/7) * r = 88 cm => (44/7) * r = 88 => r = 14 cm. Diameter = 2r = 28 cm.

Question #3
A boatman can row 4.5 km/h in still water. If the river flows at 1.5 km/h, it takes him 2 hours to row to a place and come back. How far is the place?
A. 4.5 km
B. 6 km
C. 4 km
D. 3 km

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Downstream speed = 4.5 + 1.5 = 6 km/h. Upstream speed = 4.5 - 1.5 = 3 km/h. Let distance be d. d/6 + d/3 = 2 => 3d/6 = 2 => d/2 = 2 => d = 4 km.
