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. 6 rounds
C. 8 rounds
D. 7 rounds

Correct Answer: Option B


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.

A train 120 meters long running at 45 km/h crosses a bridge in 30 seconds. Find the length of the bridge.
A. 270 meters
B. 285 meters
C. 230 meters
D. 255 meters

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Speed of train = 45 * (5/18) = 12.5 m/s. Total distance covered in 30 seconds = 12.5 * 30 = 375 meters. Length of bridge = 375 - 120 = 255 meters.
