A motor vehicle completes a journey in 5 hours. It handles the first half of the stretch at 50 km/h and the second half at 30 km/h. Find the total distance wrapped. MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A motor vehicle completes a journey in 5 hours. It handles the first half of the stretch at 50 km/h and the second half at 30 km/h. Find the total distance wrapped.
A. 175 km
B. 200 km
C. 192 km
D. 187.5 km
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Let the half distance be d. d / 50 + d / 30 = 5 => 8d / 150 = 5 => 8d = 750 => d = 93.75 km. Total distance = 2d = 187.5 km.

Question #1
A person rows 24 km downstream in 3 hours and covers the same distance upstream in 6 hours. What is the speed of the boat in still water.
A. 6 km/h
B. 5 km/h
C. 7 km/h
D. 8 km/h

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Downstream speed = 24 / 3 = 8 km/h. Upstream speed = 24 / 6 = 4 km/h. Speed in still water = (8 + 4) / 2 = 6 km/h.

Question #2
A train passes a milestone in 6 seconds. If the speed of the train is 60 km/h, find the length of the train.
A. 100 meters
B. 80 meters
C. 150 meters
D. 120 meters

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Speed of train = 60 * (5/18) = 50/3 m/s. Length of train = Speed * Time = (50/3) * 6 = 100 meters.

Question #3
A train passes a static observer in 10 seconds and a platform 150 meters long in 16 seconds. Find the length of the train.
A. 200 meters
B. 250 meters
C. 300 meters
D. 280 meters

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Time to cross the platform alone = 16 - 10 = 6 seconds. Speed of train = 150 / 6 = 25 m/s. Length of train = Speed * Time to pass observer = 25 * 10 = 250 meters.
