A train passes a static post in 12 seconds. If the speed of the train is 60 km/h, what is the length of the train?
A. 220 meters
B. 240 meters
C. 200 meters
D. 180 meters
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Speed of train = 60 * (5/18) = 50/3 m/s. Length of train = Speed * Time = (50/3) * 12 = 200 meters.

A wheel has a radius of 42 cm. How many revolutions must it make to cover a distance of 132 meters?
A. 60 revolutions
B. 50 revolutions
C. 40 revolutions
D. 70 revolutions

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Circumference of the wheel = 2 * (22/7) * 42 = 264 cm = 2.64 meters. Total distance = 132 meters. Number of revolutions = 132 / 2.64 = 50 revolutions.

Question #2
A commercial van covers 1/3 of a route sector distance at 20 km/h, 1/3 at 40 km/h and the final 1/3 segment at 40 km/h. Find the mean average speed.
A. 30 km/h
B. 32 km/h
C. 28 km/h
D. 34 km/h

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Let each third segment distance be 40 km. Total sector distance = 120 km. Total time = 40/20 + 40/40 + 40/40 = 2 + 1 + 1 = 4 hours. Average speed across route = 120 / 4 = 30 km/h.

Question #3
A fast cargo van handles 360 km at 45 km/h and another 240 km at 60 km/h. Find the overall average speed.
A. 54 km/h
B. 52 km/h
C. 48 km/h
D. 50 km/h

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Total distance = 360 + 240 = 600 km. Time for first part = 360 / 45 = 8 hours. Time for second part = 240 / 60 = 4 hours. Total time = 8 + 4 = 12 hours. Average speed = 600 / 12 = 50 km/h.
