Question #1
Excluding stoppages, a transit bus maintains an average speed of 75 km/h, and including stoppages its speed is 60 km/h. Find the stoppage time per hour.
A. 12 minutes
B. 15 minutes
C. 18 minutes
D. 10 minutes

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Stoppage time per hour = (Fast speed - Slow speed) / Fast speed = (75 - 60) / 75 = 15 / 75 = 1/5 hour. Converting to minutes = (1/5) * 60 = 15 minutes.

Question #2
A car covers a total loop distance of 300 km. If the baseline speed is raised by 10 km/h, the trip takes 1 hour less. Find the original speed.
A. 60 km/h
B. 50 km/h
C. 45 km/h
D. 55 km/h

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Let original speed be s. 300/s - 300/(s+10) = 1 => 3000 = s(s+10). Solving s^2 + 10s - 3000 = 0 yields (s-50)(s+60) = 0. Speed = 50 km/h.

Question #3
A man covers 1/3rd of his journey at 20 km/h and the remaining 2/3rd at 40 km/h. If the total distance is 120 km, find the total time taken for the journey.
A. 5 hours
B. 4.5 hours
C. 3.5 hours
D. 4 hours

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
First part distance = 120 / 3 = 40 km. Time1 = 40 / 20 = 2 hours. Remaining distance = 80 km. Time2 = 80 / 40 = 2 hours. Total time = 2 + 2 = 4 hours.
