Question #1
A man can row 10 km/h in still water. When the river runs at 2 km/h, it takes him 5 hours to row to a place and come back. Find the distance of the place.
A. 30 km
B. 20 km
C. 28 km
D. 24 km

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Downstream speed = 10 + 2 = 12 km/h. Upstream speed = 10 - 2 = 8 km/h. Let distance be d. d/12 + d/8 = 5 => (2d + 3d)/24 = 5 => 5d/24 = 5 => d = 24 km.

Question #2
The speed of a boat in still water is 16 km/h and the speed of the current is 4 km/h. How much distance can the boat cover upstream in 3 hours?
A. 36 km
B. 44 km
C. 32 km
D. 40 km

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Upstream speed = 16 - 4 = 12 km/h. Distance covered in 3 hours = 12 * 3 = 36 km.

Question #3
A locomotive running at 54 km/h takes 20 seconds to completely cross a platform. If it takes 8 seconds to pass a standing point observer, find the platform length.
A. 180 meters
B. 220 meters
C. 160 meters
D. 200 meters

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Speed of train = 54 * (5/18) = 15 m/s. Length of train = Speed * Time to cross observer = 15 * 8 = 120 meters. Total distance to cross platform = Speed * Time = 15 * 20 = 300 meters. Platform length = 300 - 120 = 180 meters.
