A worker reaches his factory 15 minutes late if he walks at 4 km/h, and 10 minutes early if he walks at 6 km/h. Find the distance to his factory. MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A worker reaches his factory 15 minutes late if he walks at 4 km/h, and 10 minutes early if he walks at 6 km/h. Find the distance to his factory.
A. 8 km
B. 6 km
C. 5 km
D. 4 km
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Time difference = 15 - (-10) = 25 minutes = 25/60 = 5/12 hour. Let distance be d. d/4 - d/6 = 5/12 => d/12 = 5/12 => d = 5 km.

Question #1
A train passing a standing man takes 9 seconds, and it takes 21 seconds to pass a 240-meter long platform. Find the speed of the train in km/h.
A. 72 km/h
B. 64 km/h
C. 90 km/h
D. 80 km/h

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Time taken to cross the platform alone = 21 - 9 = 12 seconds. Speed of train = 240 / 12 = 20 m/s. In km/h = 20 * (18/5) = 72 km/h.

A train 130 meters long passes a platform 270 meters long in 20 seconds. Find the speed of the train in km/h.
A. 84 km/h
B. 80 km/h
C. 64 km/h
D. 72 km/h

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Total distance = 130 + 270 = 400 meters. Speed = 400 / 20 = 20 m/s. In km/h = 20 * (18/5) = 72 km/h.

Question #3
An airplane covers a certain distance at a speed of 240 km/h in 5 hours. To cover the same distance in 1 hour 40 minutes, it must travel at a speed of:
A. 640 km/h
B. 750 km/h
C. 720 km/h
D. 600 km/h

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Distance = Speed * Time = 240 * 5 = 1200 km. New time = 1 hour 40 minutes = 5/3 hours. New speed = Distance / New Time = 1200 / (5/3) = 1200 * 3 / 5 = 720 km/h.
