Question #1
A commercial truck handles a sector distance path of 480 km in 8 hours. How much time will it require to cover a path length of 300 km if it moves at the same speed?
A. 5.5 hours
B. 5.0 hours
C. 4.5 hours
D. 6.0 hours

Correct Answer: Option B

A swimmer logs 36 km downstream in 3 hours and tracks the identical course line upstream in 9 hours. Find the net velocity of the stream.
A. 3.5 km/h
B. 4.0 km/h
C. 5.0 km/h
D. 4.5 km/h

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Downstream speed = 36 / 3 = 12 km/h. Upstream speed = 36 / 9 = 4 km/h. Speed of stream current = (12 - 4) / 2 = 8 / 2 = 4 km/h.

A train 150 meters long is running at 72 km/h. How long will it take to completely pass a platform of length 250 meters?
A. 20 seconds
B. 30 seconds
C. 15 seconds
D. 25 seconds

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Speed of train = 72 * (5/18) = 20 m/s. Total distance to cross platform = 150 + 250 = 400 meters. Time taken = 400 / 20 = 20 seconds.
