Question #1
A boat crew row a boat 24 km downstream in 3 hours and tracks the identical loop back upstream in 6 hours. Find the baseline speed of the boat in still water.
A. 8 km/h
B. 5 km/h
C. 6 km/h
D. 7 km/h

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Downstream tracking speed = 24 / 3 = 8 km/h. Upstream tracking speed = 24 / 6 = 4 km/h. Speed in still water = (8 + 4) / 2 = 12 / 2 = 6 km/h.

A train 140 meters long passes a roadside platform 260 meters long in 20 seconds. Find the speed of the train in km/h.
A. 80 km/h
B. 68 km/h
C. 76 km/h
D. 72 km/h

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Total distance = 140 + 260 = 400 meters. Speed = 400 / 20 = 20 m/s. In km/h = 20 * (18/5) = 72 km/h.

Question #3
A worker handles a total factory delivery run of 160 km. He maps the first 60 km section at 30 km/h and the final 100 km segment section at 50 km/h. Find the mean average speed recorded across the full delivery run.
A. 42 km/h
B. 38 km/h
C. 40 km/h
D. 45 km/h

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Total distance = 160 km. Time for section 1 = 60 / 30 = 2 hours. Time for section 2 = 100 / 50 = 2 hours. Total duration time = 4 hours. Average speed across run = 160 / 4 = 40 km/h.
