Excluding stoppages, a truck travels at 90 km/h and including stoppages it travels at 75 km/h. How many minutes does the truck stop per hour?
A. 10 minutes
B. 8 minutes
C. 15 minutes
D. 12 minutes
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Stoppage time per hour = (90 - 75) / 90 = 15 / 90 = 1/6 hour. In minutes = (1/6) * 60 = 10 minutes.

Question #1
A person row a distance of 16 km downstream in 2 hours and the same distance upstream in 4 hours. What is the speed of the boat in still water?
A. 6 km/h
B. 5 km/h
C. 8 km/h
D. 7 km/h

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Downstream speed = 16 / 2 = 8 km/h. Upstream speed = 16 / 4 = 4 km/h. Speed in still water = (8 + 4) / 2 = 6 km/h.

Question #2
A man rows 24 km downstream in 2 hours and the same distance upstream in 6 hours. Find the speed of the stream.
A. 4 km/h
B. 3 km/h
C. 6 km/h
D. 5 km/h

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Downstream speed = 24 / 2 = 12 km/h. Upstream speed = 24 / 6 = 4 km/h. Speed of stream = (12 - 4) / 2 = 8 / 2 = 4 km/h.

Question #3
A locomotive running at 54 km/h takes 20 seconds to completely cross a platform. If it takes 8 seconds to pass a standing point observer, find the platform length.
A. 200 meters
B. 180 meters
C. 160 meters
D. 220 meters

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Speed of train = 54 * (5/18) = 15 m/s. Length of train = Speed * Time to cross observer = 15 * 8 = 120 meters. Total distance to cross platform = Speed * Time = 15 * 20 = 300 meters. Platform length = 300 - 120 = 180 meters.
