A person runs around a square track of side 60 meters. If his speed is 12 km/h, how much time does he take to complete one round? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A person runs around a square track of side 60 meters. If his speed is 12 km/h, how much time does he take to complete one round?
A. 84 seconds
B. 64 seconds
C. 72 seconds
D. 80 seconds
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Perimeter of the track = 4 * 60 = 240 meters. Speed = 12 km/h = 12 * (5/18) = 10/3 m/s. Time required = Distance / Speed = 240 / (10/3) = 240 * 3 / 10 = 72 seconds.

Excluding stoppages, a bus travels at 54 km/h and including stoppages it travels at 45 km/h. How many minutes does the bus stop per hour?
A. 10 minutes
B. 15 minutes
C. 8 minutes
D. 12 minutes

A person travels a distance of 200 km at an average speed of 50 km/h and returns at a speed of 40 km/h. Find the average speed for the round trip.
A. 45.00 km/h
B. 46.25 km/h
C. 42.5 km/h
D. 44.44 km/h

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Average Speed = 2xy / (x + y) = (2 * 50 * 40) / (50 + 40) = 4000 / 90 = 44.44 km/h.

Question #3
Two boys start running from the same point in the same direction along a circular track at speeds of 5 m/s and 8 m/s. If the track length is 400 meters, after how much time will they meet for the first time?
A. 133.33 seconds
B. 150 seconds
C. 100 seconds
D. 200 seconds

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Relative speed = 8 - 5 = 3 m/s. Time to meet for the first time = Circumference / Relative speed = 400 / 3 = 133.33 seconds.
