Question #1
Two cars start from the same spot and travel along perpendicular roads. One travels at 15 km/h and the other at 20 km/h. Find the distance between them after 2 hours.
A. 50 km
B. 55 km
C. 60 km
D. 45 km

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
In 2 hours, the first car travels 30 km and the second car travels 40 km. Direct distance = sqrt(30^2 + 40^2) = sqrt(900 + 1600) = sqrt(2500) = 50 km.

Question #2
A train passes a pedestrian standing on a platform in 8 seconds and passes the platform itself, which is 200 meters long, in 18 seconds. Find the speed of the train in km/h.
A. 80 km/h
B. 64 km/h
C. 84 km/h
D. 72 km/h

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Time taken to cross the platform alone = 18 - 8 = 10 seconds. Speed of train = 200 / 10 = 20 m/s. In km/h = 20 * (18/5) = 72 km/h.

A. 350 meters
B. 380 meters
C. 300 meters
D. 400 meters

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Speed in m/s = 1260 * (5/18) = 70 * 5 = 350 m/s. Therefore, distance covered in 1 second is 350 meters.
