Question #1
A train traveling at 60 km/h crosses a static tunnel in 18 seconds. If the length of the train is 120 meters, find the length of the tunnel.
A. 160 meters
B. 200 meters
C. 180 meters
D. 220 meters

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Speed of train = 60 * (5/18) = 50/3 m/s. Total distance covered in 18 seconds = (50/3) * 18 = 300 meters. Length of tunnel = 300 - 120 = 180 meters.

Question #2
A person wins a 100-meter race in 12 seconds, while the runner-up finishes in 13 seconds. By what distance did the winner beat the runner-up?
A. 7.69 meters
B. 8.12 meters
C. 8.50 meters
D. 7.24 meters

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Speed of runner-up = 100 / 13 m/s. Distance covered by runner-up in 12 seconds = (100 / 13) * 12 = 1200 / 13 = 92.31 meters. Beat distance = 100 - 92.31 = 7.69 meters.

Question #3
Walking at 5/6 of his baseline speed, an officer reaches his desk 12 minutes late. What is his baseline typical time?
A. 60 minutes
B. 65 minutes
C. 70 minutes
D. 55 minutes

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
New speed = 5/6 of usual speed => New time = 6/5 of usual time. Difference = 1/5 of usual time = 12 minutes. Typical baseline time = 12 * 5 = 60 minutes.
