A suspect flees at 6:00 AM at a uniform speed of 50 km/h. The enforcement squad tracks pursuit at 7:00 AM at 60 km/h. At what time will the squad apprehend the suspect?
A. 11:00 AM
B. 2:00 PM
C. 1:00 PM
D. 12:00 PM
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
By 7:00 AM, the suspect has traveled for 1 hour and covered 50 km. Relative tracking speed = 60 - 50 = 10 km/h. Time taken to catch = 50 / 10 = 5 hours. Apprehension time = 7:00 AM + 5 hours = 12:00 PM.

A worker reaches his factory 15 minutes late if he walks at 4 km/h, and 10 minutes early if he walks at 6 km/h. Find the distance to his factory.
A. 5 km
B. 4 km
C. 6 km
D. 8 km

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Time difference = 15 - (-10) = 25 minutes = 25/60 = 5/12 hour. Let distance be d. d/4 - d/6 = 5/12 => d/12 = 5/12 => d = 5 km.
