A private van covers 1/3 of a route corridor path at 10 km/h, 1/3 at 20 km/h and the final 1/3 segment sector at 60 km/h. Find the mean average speed. MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A private van covers 1/3 of a route corridor path at 10 km/h, 1/3 at 20 km/h and the final 1/3 segment sector at 60 km/h. Find the mean average speed.
A. 20 km/h
B. 18 km/h
C. 22 km/h
D. 16 km/h
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Let each third segment distance be 60 km. Total distance = 180 km. Total time taken = 60/10 + 60/20 + 60/60 = 6 + 3 + 1 = 10 hours. Average speed across route = 180 / 10 = 18 km/h.

Question #1
A person walks from his home to his shop at a speed of 5 km/h and arrives 6 minutes early. If he walks at 4 km/h, he arrives 6 minutes late. Find the distance between his home and shop.
A. 4 km
B. 3 km
C. 6 km
D. 5 km

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Time difference = 6 - (-6) = 12 minutes = 12/60 = 1/5 hour. Let distance be d. d/4 - d/5 = 1/5 => d/20 = 1/5 => d = 4 km.

A. 2.5 hours
B. 3 hours
C. 4 hours
D. 3.5 hours

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Downstream speed = 14 + 2 = 16 km/h. Time taken = Distance / Downstream speed = 48 / 16 = 3 hours.
