A person leaves point A at 5:00 AM at 30 km/h. Another leaves A at 7:00 AM at 40 km/h in the same direction. At what distance from A will they meet? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A person leaves point A at 5:00 AM at 30 km/h. Another leaves A at 7:00 AM at 40 km/h in the same direction. At what distance from A will they meet?
A. 260 km
B. 280 km
C. 220 km
D. 240 km
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
By 7:00 AM, the first person covers 30 * 2 = 60 km. Relative speed = 40 - 30 = 10 km/h. Time to meet = 60 / 10 = 6 hours. Distance from A = Speed of second person * Time = 40 * 6 = 240 km.

Question #1
A sound wave travels at 340 m/s. How much distance in kilometers does it cover in 20 seconds?
A. 7.5 km
B. 6.8 km
C. 6.5 km
D. 7.2 km

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Distance = Speed * Time = 340 * 20 = 6800 meters. Converting to kilometers = 6800 / 1000 = 6.8 km.

Question #2
Two cars A and B leave an intersection simultaneously. A travels North at 45 km/h and B travels East at 60 km/h. Find the direct distance between them after 1 hour.
A. 80 km
B. 75 km
C. 85 km
D. 70 km

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
In 1 hour, distance covered by A = 45 km, and by B = 60 km. Direct distance = sqrt(45^2 + 60^2) = sqrt(2025 + 3600) = sqrt(5625) = 75 km.

Question #3
Two express trains 220 meters and 180 meters long are tracking parallel in identical directions at speeds of 90 km/h and 72 km/h. Find the duration to pass each other.
A. 84 seconds
B. 80 seconds
C. 90 seconds
D. 72 seconds

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Total distance = 220 + 180 = 400 meters. Relative speed in identical direction = 90 - 72 = 18 km/h = 5 m/s. Time taken = 400 / 5 = 80 seconds.
