A. 48 km/h
B. 50 km/h
C. 45 km/h
D. 52 km/h
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
For equal distances, use Harmonic Mean: 2ab/(a+b) = 2(40)(60)/(100) = 4800/100 = 48 km/h.

Question #1
Yule's coefficient of association is undefined when:
A. Attributes are independent
B. (AB) = 0
C. (AB)(αβ) + (Aβ)(αB) = 0
D. N is odd

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Yule's Q = [(AB)(αβ) - (Aβ)(αB)] / [(AB)(αβ) + (Aβ)(αB)]; if the denominator is zero (all cells zero or impossible configuration), Q is undefined, though this rarely occurs in real data.

Question #3
A speaks truth in 60% cases, B in 70% cases. They agree in a statement. The probability that the statement is true is:
A. 0.58
B. 0.42
C. 0.50
D. 0.78

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Agreement can be both truth or both lie. P(both truth)=0.6×0.7=0.42; both lie=0.4×0.3=0.12. Total agreement=0.54. Probability truth given agreement = 0.42/0.54 ≈ 0.7778.
