A. 3.5 km
B. 3.0 km
C. 4.0 km
D. 2.5 km
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Time difference = 5 - (-4) = 9 minutes = 9/60 = 0.15 hours. Let distance be d. d / 4 - d / 5 = 0.15 => d / 20 = 0.15 => d = 3 km.

A man covers 1/3 of his total journey at 30 km/h and the remaining 2/3 at 60 km/h. Find his average speed for the entire journey.
A. 45 km/h
B. 52 km/h
C. 50 km/h
D. 48 km/h

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Let total distance be 90 km. First part = 30 km; Time = 30 / 30 = 1 hour. Remaining part = 60 km; Time = 60 / 60 = 1 hour. Total distance = 90 km, Total time = 2 hours. Average speed = 90 / 2 = 45 km/h.
