C. 80 km/h
D. 72 km/h
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Total distance = 150 + 250 = 400 meters. Speed = 400 / 20 = 20 m/s. In km/h = 20 * (18/5) = 72 km/h.

Question #1
A student walks from his quarter block to the academy center at 4 km/h and arrives 8 minutes late. If he manages a pace of 5 km/h, he arrives 4 minutes early. Find the track distance.
A. 3.5 km
B. 5.0 km
C. 4.5 km
D. 4.0 km

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Time difference = 8 - (-4) = 12 minutes = 10/60 = 1/5 hours. Let distance be d. d/4 - d/5 = 1/5 => d/20 = 1/5 => d = 4 km.
