A man leaves point A at 6 AM at a speed of 4 km/h. Another man leaves point A from the same direction at 8 AM at a speed of 6 km/h. At what distance from point A will they meet? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A man leaves point A at 6 AM at a speed of 4 km/h. Another man leaves point A from the same direction at 8 AM at a speed of 6 km/h. At what distance from point A will they meet?
A. 28 km
B. 24 km
C. 32 km
D. 20 km
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
By 8 AM, the first man has traveled for 2 hours, covering 4 * 2 = 8 km. Relative speed = 6 - 4 = 2 km/h. Time taken to meet = 8 / 2 = 4 hours. Distance from A = Speed of second man * Time = 6 * 4 = 24 km.

Question #1
A train running at 72 km/h crosses a bridge 250 meters long in 20 seconds. Find the length of the train.
A. 120 meters
B. 150 meters
C. 180 meters
D. 200 meters

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Speed = 72 * (5/18) = 20 m/s. Total distance in 20 seconds = 20 * 20 = 400 meters. Length of train = 400 - 250 = 150 meters.

Question #2
A car covers a distance of 200 km at a uniform speed. If the speed is increased by 10 km/h, the journey takes 4 hours. Find the initial speed of the car.
A. 45 km/h
B. 40 km/h
C. 35 km/h
D. 50 km/h

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
New speed = 200 / 4 = 50 km/h. Since the new speed is 10 km/h faster than the original speed, original speed = 50 - 10 = 40 km/h.

Question #3
A car travels at a speed of 54 km/h. What is its speed expressed in meters per second?
A. 15 m/s
B. 12 m/s
C. 10 m/s
D. 18 m/s

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
To convert km/h to m/s, multiply by 5/18. Speed = 54 * (5/18) = 3 * 5 = 15 m/s.
