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. 4 km
B. 5 km
C. 8 km
D. 6 km
Answer: Option B
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 #3
A car covers a distance of 100 km at 40 km/h and another 150 km at 50 km/h. Find the average speed for the complete trip.
A. 44.2 km/h
B. 48.0 km/h
C. 46.5 km/h
D. 45.45 km/h

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Total distance = 100 + 150 = 250 km. Time 1 = 100 / 40 = 2.5 hours. Time 2 = 150 / 50 = 3 hours. Total time = 5.5 hours. Average speed = 250 / 5.5 = 45.45 km/h.
