A person walks from his villa to a local station at 4 km/h and arrives 10 minutes late. If he routes at 5 km/h, he arrives 2 minutes early. Find the distance. MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A person walks from his villa to a local station at 4 km/h and arrives 10 minutes late. If he routes at 5 km/h, he arrives 2 minutes early. Find the distance.
A. 5.0 km
B. 4.5 km
C. 4.0 km
D. 3.5 km
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Time difference = 10 - (-2) = 12 minutes = 12/60 = 0.2 hours. Let distance be d. d/4 - d/5 = 0.2 => d/20 = 0.2 => d = 4 km.

Question #1
A train 100 meters long running at 90 km/h crosses another train 150 meters long running at 54 km/h in the same direction. How much time do they take to cross each other?
A. 35 seconds
B. 20 seconds
C. 25 seconds
D. 30 seconds

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Total distance = 100 + 150 = 250 meters. Relative speed in same direction = 90 - 54 = 36 km/h = 36 * (5/18) = 10 m/s. Time taken = 250 / 10 = 25 seconds.

Question #2
A train passes a standing passenger in 8 seconds and crosses a 180-meter long platform in 17 seconds. Find the speed of the train.
A. 18 m/s
B. 22 m/s
C. 20 m/s
D. 24 m/s

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Time taken to pass the platform alone = 17 - 8 = 9 seconds. Speed of train = 180 / 9 = 20 m/s.

Question #3
A motorboat registers a speed of 15 km/h in still water. It takes 4 hours to cover a certain distance upstream. If the stream velocity is 3 km/h, find the distance covered.
A. 52 km
B. 44 km
C. 48 km
D. 56 km

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Upstream speed = 15 - 3 = 12 km/h. Distance = Upstream speed * Time = 12 * 4 = 48 km.
