Question #1
A cyclist travels at a speed of 12 km/h for the first 10 km and at a speed of 10 km/h for the next 12 km. Find his average speed for the entire trip.
A. 11.24 km/h
B. 11.00 km/h
C. 10.45 km/h
D. 10.83 km/h

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Total distance = 10 + 12 = 22 km. Total time taken = 10/12 + 12/10 = 5/6 + 6/5 = (25 + 36) / 30 = 61 / 30 hours. Average speed = 22 / (61/30) = 660 / 61 = 10.82 hours (approx 10.83 km/h).

Question #2
A train passes a static post in 12 seconds. If the speed of the train is 60 km/h, what is the length of the train?
A. 180 meters
B. 200 meters
C. 240 meters
D. 220 meters

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Speed of train = 60 * (5/18) = 50/3 m/s. Length of train = Speed * Time = (50/3) * 12 = 200 meters.

Question #3
A person walks from his villa to a local station at 4 km/h and arrives 10 minutes late. If he routes at 5 km/h, he arrives 2 minutes early. Find the distance.
A. 4.0 km
B. 5.0 km
C. 4.5 km
D. 3.5 km

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Time difference = 10 - (-2) = 12 minutes = 12/60 = 0.2 hours. Let distance be d. d/4 - d/5 = 0.2 => d/20 = 0.2 => d = 4 km.
