Excluding operational corridor stops, the speed of an inter-provincial bus is 60 km/h, and including stops it tracks at 48 km/h. How many minutes does it stop per hour? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Excluding operational corridor stops, the speed of an inter-provincial bus is 60 km/h, and including stops it tracks at 48 km/h. How many minutes does it stop per hour?
A. 12 minutes
B. 15 minutes
C. 14 minutes
D. 10 minutes
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Stoppage time per hour = (60 - 48) / 60 = 12 / 60 = 1/5 hour. In minutes = (1/5) * 60 = 12 minutes.

Question #1
A train tracking at 90 km/h clears a static warehouse tunnel in 20 seconds. If the train length is 150 meters, find the tunnel length.
A. 350 meters
B. 380 meters
C. 400 meters
D. 320 meters

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Speed of train = 90 * (5/18) = 25 m/s. Total distance covered in 20 seconds = 25 * 20 = 500 meters. Length of tunnel = 500 - 150 = 350 meters.

Question #2
If a person covers a distance of 150 km in 4 hours, find his speed in meters per second.
A. 9.81 m/s
B. 11.24 m/s
C. 12.50 m/s
D. 10.41 m/s

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Speed = 150 / 4 = 37.5 km/h. Converting to m/s = 37.5 * (5/18) = 187.5 / 18 = 10.41 m/s.

Question #3
A boat moves upstream at a speed of 11 km/h and downstream at 16 km/h. Find the speed of the boat in still water.
A. 14.5 km/h
B. 12.5 km/h
C. 14 km/h
D. 13.5 km/h

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Speed in still water = (Downstream speed + Upstream speed) / 2 = (16 + 11) / 2 = 27 / 2 = 13.5 km/h.
