A man starts walking from a place P at 4 AM at a speed of 5 km/h. Another man starts from the same place P at 6 AM in the same direction at a speed of 7 km/h. At what time will they meet? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A man starts walking from a place P at 4 AM at a speed of 5 km/h. Another man starts from the same place P at 6 AM in the same direction at a speed of 7 km/h. At what time will they meet?
A. 11:00 AM
B. 12:00 PM
C. 10:00 AM
D. 1:00 PM
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
By 6:00 AM, the first man has traveled for 2 hours, covering 5 * 2 = 10 km. Relative speed = 7 - 5 = 2 km/h. Time to meet = 10 / 2 = 5 hours. Meeting time = 6:00 AM + 5 hours = 11:00 AM.

Question #1
A person travels from P to Q at a speed of 30 km/h and returns from Q to P at a speed of 40 km/h. What is the ratio of time taken by him in the forward journey to that in the return journey?
A. 3:4
B. 9:16
C. 16:9
D. 4:3

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Since distance is constant, time is inversely proportional to speed. Ratio of times = Speed2 : Speed1 = 40 : 30 = 4:3.

Question #2
A man rows a distance of 16 km downstream in 2 hours and returns upstream in 4 hours. Find the speed of the river current.
A. 1.5 km/h
B. 2.5 km/h
C. 3.0 km/h
D. 2.0 km/h

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Downstream speed = 16 / 2 = 8 km/h. Upstream speed = 16 / 4 = 4 km/h. Speed of current = (8 - 4) / 2 = 4 / 2 = 2 km/h.
