A motorboat registers a speed of 15 km/h in still water. It takes 4 hours to cover a certain distance upstream. If the stream velocity is 3 km/h, find the distance covered. MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A motorboat registers a speed of 15 km/h in still water. It takes 4 hours to cover a certain distance upstream. If the stream velocity is 3 km/h, find the distance covered.
A. 52 km
B. 44 km
C. 56 km
D. 48 km
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Upstream speed = 15 - 3 = 12 km/h. Distance = Upstream speed * Time = 12 * 4 = 48 km.

Question #1
The speed of two cars are in the ratio 3 : 4. If the second car takes 3 hours to cover a certain distance, how much time will the first car take to cover the same distance?
A. 5 hours
B. 4.5 hours
C. 3.5 hours
D. 4 hours

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Ratio of speeds = 3:4. Ratio of time taken (inverse of speed) = 4:3. Given 3 parts = 3 hours for the second car. Thus, 4 parts = 4 hours for the first car.

An emergency truck spans 450 meters in 25 seconds. Find its speed in km/h.
A. 72 km/h
B. 68 km/h
C. 64.8 km/h
D. 60 km/h

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Speed = 450 / 25 = 18 m/s. In km/h = 18 * (18/5) = 324 / 5 = 64.8 km/h.

Question #3
A cargo train running at 64 km/h overtakes a cyclist riding at 10 km/h in the same direction in 10 seconds. Find the length of the train.
A. 150 meters
B. 160 meters
C. 180 meters
D. 140 meters

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Relative speed = 64 - 10 = 54 km/h = 54 * (5/18) = 15 m/s. Length of train = Relative speed * Time = 15 * 10 = 150 meters.
