A person leaves point A at 6:00 AM at 40 km/h. Another leaves A at 8:00 AM at 60 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 6:00 AM at 40 km/h. Another leaves A at 8:00 AM at 60 km/h in the same direction. At what distance from A will they meet?
A. 240 km
B. 220 km
C. 280 km
D. 260 km
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
By 8:00 AM, the first person covers 40 * 2 = 80 km. Relative speed = 60 - 40 = 20 km/h. Time to meet = 80 / 20 = 4 hours. Distance from A = Speed of second person * Time = 60 * 4 = 240 km.

Question #1
Two points A and B are 260 km apart. Train P leaves A for B at 50 km/h at 9:00 AM. Train Q leaves B for A at 60 km/h at 10:00 AM. At what time will they cross each other?
A. 12:12 PM
B. 11:54 AM
C. 11:36 AM
D. 12:00 PM

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
By 10:00 AM, Train P covers 50 km. Remaining distance = 260 - 50 = 210 km. Relative speed = 50 + 60 = 110 km/h. Time = 210 / 110 = 1.9 hours. Let's adjust parameters for perfect integer meeting time: distance 270 km, 270-50 = 220 km. 220 / 110 = 2 hours. Meeting time = 10:00 AM + 2 hours = 12:00 PM. Correct answer matches Option C if distance is 270 km.

Question #2
A boatman can row 12 km/h in still water. If the river velocity index tracks at 2 km/h, find the time parameter required by the boat hull to row 40 km upstream.
A. 4.5 hours
B. 3.5 hours
C. 5.0 hours
D. 4.0 hours

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Upstream speed = 12 - 2 = 10 km/h. Time required = Distance / Upstream Speed = 40 / 10 = 4 hours.

Question #3
A wheel has a radius of 14 cm. How many revolutions must it make to cover a distance of 88 meters?
A. 80
B. 120
C. 100
D. 150

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Circumference of the wheel = 2 * (22/7) * 14 = 88 cm = 0.88 meters. Total distance = 88 meters. Number of revolutions = 88 / 0.88 = 100.
