A person covers a distance in 40 minutes if he drives at an average speed of 45 km/h. At what speed must he drive to reduce the time of journey to 30 minutes? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A person covers a distance in 40 minutes if he drives at an average speed of 45 km/h. At what speed must he drive to reduce the time of journey to 30 minutes?
A. 60 km/h
B. 64 km/h
C. 70 km/h
D. 54 km/h
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Distance is constant, so S1 * T1 = S2 * T2 => 45 * 40 = S2 * 30 => S2 = (45 * 40) / 30 = 60 km/h.

Question #1
A person covers a distance of 12 km in 1 hour 30 minutes. What is his speed in meters per second?
A. 2.22 m/s
B. 2.50 m/s
C. 2.77 m/s
D. 2.00 m/s

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Time = 1.5 hours. Speed = 12 / 1.5 = 8 km/h. To convert into m/s, multiply by 5/18. Speed = 8 * (5/18) = 40 / 18 = 2.22 m/s.

Question #2
A train traveling at 60 km/h crosses a static tunnel in 18 seconds. If the length of the train is 120 meters, find the length of the tunnel.
A. 220 meters
B. 160 meters
C. 200 meters
D. 180 meters

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Speed of train = 60 * (5/18) = 50/3 m/s. Total distance covered in 18 seconds = (50/3) * 18 = 300 meters. Length of tunnel = 300 - 120 = 180 meters.

Question #3
A car covers a distance of 180 km at a uniform speed. If the speed is increased by 10 km/h, the journey takes 3 hours. Find the initial speed of the car.
A. 55 km/h
B. 50 km/h
C. 45 km/h
D. 60 km/h

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
New speed = 180 / 3 = 60 km/h. Since the new speed is 10 km/h faster than the original speed, original speed = 60 - 10 = 50 km/h.
