A person runs at 8 km/h instead of 6 km/h and consequently covers 10 km more in the same timeframe. Find the baseline distance covered at his normal speed. MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A person runs at 8 km/h instead of 6 km/h and consequently covers 10 km more in the same timeframe. Find the baseline distance covered at his normal speed.
A. 25 km
B. 40 km
C. 35 km
D. 30 km
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Let duration be t hours. Distance difference = 8t - 6t = 2t = 10 km => t = 5 hours. Distance handled at normal speed (6 km/h) = 6 * 5 = 30 km.

Question #1
A swimmer registers a pace track of 15 km downstream in 3 hours and handles 9 km upstream back in 3 hours. Find the net tracking speed of the current flow.
A. 1.0 km/h
B. 1.2 km/h
C. 1.5 km/h
D. 0.8 km/h

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Downstream speed = 15 / 3 = 5 km/h. Upstream speed = 9 / 3 = 3 km/h. Speed of current flow = (5 - 3) / 2 = 2 / 2 = 1.0 km/h.

Question #2
A person row a boat 30 km downstream in 3 hours and returns upstream in 5 hours. Find the speed of the current.
A. 2.0 km/h
B. 3.0 km/h
C. 2.5 km/h
D. 1.5 km/h

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Downstream speed = 30 / 3 = 10 km/h. Upstream speed = 30 / 5 = 6 km/h. Speed of current = (10 - 6) / 2 = 2 km/h.

Question #3
A passenger locomotive 120 meters long clears a point tracker in 6 seconds flat. How long will it take to pass a platform bridge 300 meters long?
A. 27 seconds
B. 18 seconds
C. 24 seconds
D. 21 seconds

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Speed of train = 120 / 6 = 20 m/s. Total distance to clear platform bridge = 120 + 300 = 420 meters. Time taken = 420 / 20 = 21 seconds.
