A private sedan tracks a sector path length of 480 km in 5 hours 20 minutes. Find its mean average speed index.
A. 90 km/h
B. 100 km/h
C. 85 km/h
D. 95 km/h

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Time = 5 hours 20 minutes = 5 + 20/60 = 5.333 hours = 16/3 hours. Speed index = Sector Distance / Time = 480 / (16/3) = 480 * 3 / 16 = 30 * 3 = 90 km/h.

A train passes a static observer in 10 seconds and a platform 150 meters long in 16 seconds. Find the length of the train.
A. 300 meters
B. 250 meters
C. 280 meters
D. 200 meters

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Time to cross the platform alone = 16 - 10 = 6 seconds. Speed of train = 150 / 6 = 25 m/s. Length of train = Speed * Time to pass observer = 25 * 10 = 250 meters.
