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: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

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. 750 km/h
B. 720 km/h
C. 640 km/h
D. 600 km/h
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
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.

Question #1
A commuter drives to his consulting firm at 30 km/h and arrives 15 minutes late. If he increases his speed to 40 km/h, he arrives 5 minutes early. Find the distance to his firm.
A. 35 km
B. 50 km
C. 40 km
D. 45 km

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Time difference = 15 - (-5) = 20 minutes = 20/60 = 1/3 hours. Let distance be d. d/30 - d/40 = 1/3 => (4d - 3d)/120 = 1/3 => d/120 = 1/3 => d = 40 km.

A boat moves upstream at 8 km/h and downstream at 14 km/h. Find the speed of the river current.
A. 3.5 km/h
B. 3.0 km/h
C. 4.0 km/h
D. 2.5 km/h

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Speed of the river current = (Downstream speed - Upstream speed) / 2 = (14 - 8) / 2 = 6 / 2 = 3 km/h.

Question #3
A train 140 meters long passes a stationary observer in 7 seconds. How long will it take to cross a platform 260 meters long?
A. 20 seconds
B. 18 seconds
C. 22 seconds
D. 24 seconds

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Speed of train = 140 / 7 = 20 m/s. Total distance to pass platform = 140 + 260 = 400 meters. Time required = 400 / 20 = 20 seconds.
