A. 54 km/h
B. 48 km/h
C. 52 km/h
D. 50 km/h

Question #2
A person walks from his house to his office at a speed of 4 km/h and reaches 10 minutes late. If he walks at 5 km/h, he reaches 5 minutes early. Find the distance between his house and office.
A. 8 km
B. 6 km
C. 4 km
D. 5 km

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Time difference = 10 - (-5) = 15 minutes = 1/4 hour. Let distance be d. d/4 - d/5 = 1/4 => d/20 = 1/4 => d = 5 km.

Question #3
Two trains of equal lengths take 10 seconds and 15 seconds respectively to cross a telegraph post. If the length of each train is 120 meters, in what time will they cross each other traveling in opposite directions?
A. 15 seconds
B. 14 seconds
C. 10 seconds
D. 12 seconds

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Speed of first train = 120 / 10 = 12 m/s. Speed of second train = 120 / 15 = 8 m/s. Total distance to cross each other = 120 + 120 = 240 meters. Relative speed in opposite directions = 12 + 8 = 20 m/s. Time = 240 / 20 = 12 seconds.
