A passenger train 200 meters long crosses a platform 300 meters long in 20 seconds. What is the speed of the train in km/h?
A. 110 km/h
B. 90 km/h
C. 80 km/h
D. 100 km/h
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Total distance = 200 + 300 = 500 meters. Speed = 500 / 20 = 25 m/s. Converting to km/h = 25 * (18/5) = 90 km/h.

Question #2
A commuter covers 40% of his total journey distance at 40 km/h and the remaining 60% at 60 km/h. Find his average speed for the whole journey.
A. 52 km/h
B. 48 km/h
C. 50 km/h
D. 54 km/h

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Let total distance be 100 km. Time for first part = 40 / 40 = 1 hour. Time for second part = 60 / 60 = 1 hour. Total distance = 100 km, Total time = 2 hours. Average speed = 100 / 2 = 50 km/h.

Question #3
A man can row 8 km/h in still water. If the river current flows at 2 km/h, it takes him 3.2 hours to row to a place and back. How far is the place?
A. 14 km
B. 15 km
C. 10 km
D. 12 km

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Downstream speed = 8 + 2 = 10 km/h. Upstream speed = 8 - 2 = 6 km/h. Let distance be d. d / 10 + d / 6 = 3.2 => 16d / 60 = 3.2 => 16d = 192 => d = 12 km.
