A man can row 8 km/h in still water. He takes 4 hours to row to a point and back when the current flows at 4 km/h. How far is the point? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A man can row 8 km/h in still water. He takes 4 hours to row to a point and back when the current flows at 4 km/h. How far is the point?
A. 14 km
B. 10 km
C. 16 km
D. 12 km
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Downstream speed = 8 + 4 = 12 km/h. Upstream speed = 8 - 4 = 4 km/h. Let distance be d. d / 12 + d / 4 = 4 => 4d / 12 = 4 => d = 12 km.

Question #1
A car travels the first half of a total distance at speed v1 and the second half at speed v2. What is the expression for the average speed of the car?
A. (v1 + v2) / 2
B. v1*v2 / (v1 + v2)
C. 2 / (v1 + v2)
D. 2v1*v2 / (v1 + v2)

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
When equal distances are traveled at speeds v1 and v2, the average speed is the harmonic mean: 2v1*v2 / (v1 + v2).

Question #2
A train passes a structural signal box in 8 seconds. If the length of the train is 120 meters, find its speed in km/h.
A. 60 km/h
B. 54 km/h
C. 48 km/h
D. 72 km/h

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Speed of train = 120 / 8 = 15 m/s. In km/h = 15 * (18/5) = 54 km/h.

Question #3
A car covers a sector line of 420 km at a uniform speed. If its velocity index is raised by 10 km/h, it covers the course loop line in exactly 6 hours. Find the original speed.
A. 65 km/h
B. 60 km/h
C. 70 km/h
D. 55 km/h

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
New speed = 420 / 6 = 70 km/h. Since new speed is original speed + 10 km/h, the original tracking speed = 70 - 10 = 60 km/h.
