A train covers a distance between two stations in 45 minutes. If its speed is reduced by 5 km/h, it covers the same distance in 48 minutes. Find the distance between the two stations. MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A train covers a distance between two stations in 45 minutes. If its speed is reduced by 5 km/h, it covers the same distance in 48 minutes. Find the distance between the two stations.
A. 72 km
B. 60 km
C. 50 km
D. 80 km
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Let initial speed be s. Distance is constant, so s * (45/60) = (s - 5) * (48/60) => 45s = 48s - 240 => 3s = 240 => s = 80 km/h. Distance = 80 * (45/60) = 60 km.

A train 110 meters long crosses a pole in 5.5 seconds. What is its speed in km/h?
A. 72 km/h
B. 84 km/h
C. 64 km/h
D. 80 km/h

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Speed of train = 110 / 5.5 = 20 m/s. In km/h = 20 * (18/5) = 72 km/h.

Question #2
A motor vehicle completes a journey in 5 hours. It handles the first half of the stretch at 50 km/h and the second half at 30 km/h. Find the total distance wrapped.
A. 187.5 km
B. 175 km
C. 200 km
D. 192 km

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Let the half distance be d. d / 50 + d / 30 = 5 => 8d / 150 = 5 => 8d = 750 => d = 93.75 km. Total distance = 2d = 187.5 km.

Question #3
A person row a boat 45 km downstream in 3 hours and manages the return journey upstream in 9 hours. Find the speed of the river current.
A. 5.5 km/h
B. 6.0 km/h
C. 4.5 km/h
D. 5.0 km/h

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Downstream speed = 45 / 3 = 15 km/h. Upstream speed = 45 / 9 = 5 km/h. Speed of current = (15 - 5) / 2 = 10 / 2 = 5 km/h.
