Question #1
A high-speed train covers a distance between two terminals at 300 km/h in 4 hours. At what speed must it travel to cover the same distance in 3 hours and 20 minutes?
A. 375 km/h
B. 360 km/h
C. 350 km/h
D. 400 km/h

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Distance = Speed * Time = 300 * 4 = 1200 km. New time = 3 hours 20 minutes = 10/3 hours. New required speed = Distance / New time = 1200 / (10/3) = 1200 * 3 / 10 = 360 km/h.

Question #2
A train passes a standing man in 10 seconds and a platform 300 meters long in 25 seconds. Find the length of the train.
A. 300 meters
B. 200 meters
C. 250 meters
D. 150 meters

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
The train takes 25 - 10 = 15 seconds to cover the length of the platform. Speed of the train = 300 / 15 = 20 m/s. Length of the train = Speed * Time to cross the man = 20 * 10 = 150 meters.

Question #3
A worker covers 40% of his path at 20 km/h and the remaining 60% at 30 km/h. Find his average speed for the full journey.
A. 26 km/h
B. 25 km/h
C. 28 km/h
D. 24 km/h

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Let total distance be 100 km. First section = 40 km; Time = 40 / 20 = 2 hours. Second section = 60 km; Time = 60 / 30 = 2 hours. Total time = 4 hours. Average speed = 100 / 4 = 25 km/h.
