Question #1
A runner tracks a circular field loop course of radius 70 meters. If his speed registers at 20 m/s, find the total loop rounds completed by him in 2 minutes 12 seconds.
A. 5 rounds
B. 8 rounds
C. 7 rounds
D. 6 rounds

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Circumference = 2 * (22/7) * 70 = 440 meters. Time = 2 minutes 12 seconds = 132 seconds. Total distance wrapped = Speed * Time = 20 * 132 = 2640 meters. Number of loop rounds completed = 2640 / 440 = 6 rounds.

Question #3
A person leaves point A at 5:00 AM at 30 km/h. Another leaves A at 7:00 AM at 40 km/h in the same direction. At what distance from A will they meet?
A. 260 km
B. 220 km
C. 240 km
D. 280 km

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
By 7:00 AM, the first person covers 30 * 2 = 60 km. Relative speed = 40 - 30 = 10 km/h. Time to meet = 60 / 10 = 6 hours. Distance from A = Speed of second person * Time = 40 * 6 = 240 km.
