A passenger notice that a train passes him in 4 seconds. If the train is 120 meters long, what is its speed in km/h?
A. 108 km/h
B. 100 km/h
C. 90 km/h
D. 120 km/h
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Speed = 120 / 4 = 30 m/s. In km/h = 30 * (18/5) = 108 km/h.

Question #1
A motor car finishes a journey in 10 hours. The first half is covered at 42 km/h and the second half at 48 km/h. Find the total distance of the journey.
A. 420 km
B. 448 km
C. 450 km
D. 460 km

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Let half distance be d. d/42 + d/48 = 10 => (8d + 7d)/336 = 10 => 15d = 3360 => d = 224 km. Total distance = 2d = 448 km.

Question #2
A field surveyor walking at 4 km/h handles a regular sector. If he steps up to run at 8 km/h, he takes 30 minutes less across the course stretch. Find the absolute distance profile.
A. 4.0 km
B. 3.5 km
C. 4.5 km
D. 5.0 km

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Time difference = 30 minutes = 0.5 hours. Let distance be d. d / 4 - d / 8 = 0.5 => d / 8 = 0.5 => d = 4 km.

Question #3
The speed of two cyclists are in the ratio 4 : 7. If they cover the same total distance, what is the ratio of the time taken by them?
A. 16 : 49
B. 4 : 7
C. 7 : 4
D. 49 : 16

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Since time is inversely proportional to speed when distance is constant, the ratio of time taken is the reciprocal of the speed ratio: 1/4 : 1/7 = 7 : 4.
