Question #1
A bicycle wheel has a radius of 28 cm. How many revolutions are mandatory to span a total course line of 880 meters?
A. 550
B. 500
C. 450
D. 600

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Circumference = 2 * (22/7) * 28 = 176 cm = 1.76 meters. Total course line = 880 meters. Number of revolutions = 880 / 1.76 = 500.

Question #2
A car travels a distance of 300 km at a certain speed. If the speed is increased by 15 km/h, it takes 4 hours for the journey. Find the original speed.
A. 60 km/h
B. 65 km/h
C. 55 km/h
D. 70 km/h

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
New speed = 300 / 4 = 75 km/h. Since new speed is original speed + 15 km/h, the original speed = 75 - 15 = 60 km/h.

Question #3
A car covers a certain distance at a speed of 48 km/h in 50 minutes. With what speed should it run to decrease the time of journey by 10 minutes?
A. 64 km/h
B. 54 km/h
C. 60 km/h
D. 72 km/h

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Original time = 50 mins. New time = 50 - 10 = 40 mins. S1 * T1 = S2 * T2 => 48 * 50 = S2 * 40 => S2 = (48 * 50) / 40 = 60 km/h.
