Question #1
A man covers 1/4 of his total journey at 20 km/h and the remaining 3/4 at 40 km/h. Find his average speed for the entire journey.
A. 30.5 km/h
B. 32.0 km/h
C. 36.0 km/h
D. 34.2 km/h

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Let total distance be 80 km. First part = 20 km; Time = 20 / 20 = 1 hour. Remaining part = 60 km; Time = 60 / 40 = 1.5 hours. Total distance = 80 km, Total time = 2.5 hours. Average speed = 80 / 2.5 = 32 km/h.

A sound wave travels at 340 m/s. How much distance in kilometers does it cover in 20 seconds?
A. 7.2 km
B. 6.8 km
C. 6.5 km
D. 7.5 km

Correct Answer: Option B

Question #3
A boat covers 30 km downstream in 3 hours and the same distance upstream in 6 hours. Find the speed of the stream.
A. 3.0 km/h
B. 2.5 km/h
C. 2.0 km/h
D. 3.5 km/h

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Downstream speed = 30 / 3 = 10 km/h. Upstream speed = 30 / 6 = 5 km/h. Speed of stream = (10 - 5) / 2 = 5 / 2 = 2.5 km/h.
