The speed of two cars are in the ratio 3 : 4. If the second car takes 3 hours to cover a certain distance, how much time will the first car take to cover the same distance? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The speed of two cars are in the ratio 3 : 4. If the second car takes 3 hours to cover a certain distance, how much time will the first car take to cover the same distance?
A. 5 hours
B. 3.5 hours
C. 4.5 hours
D. 4 hours
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Ratio of speeds = 3:4. Ratio of time taken (inverse of speed) = 4:3. Given 3 parts = 3 hours for the second car. Thus, 4 parts = 4 hours for the first car.

A. 75 km/h
B. 90 km/h
C. 85 km/h
D. 80 km/h

Correct Answer: Option D

A sonar signal takes 6 seconds to travel down to an underwater reef and reflect back to the vessel. If the speed of sound in water is 1500 m/s, find the depth of the reef in kilometers.
A. 4.2 km
B. 5.0 km
C. 4.8 km
D. 4.5 km

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Total travel time to reef and back = 6 seconds. Time to reach reef = 3 seconds. Depth = Speed * Time = 1500 * 3 = 4500 meters = 4.5 km.

Question #3
Two trains 100 meters and 120 meters long are running in the same direction at speeds of 72 km/h and 54 km/h respectively. In how much time will the faster train cross the slower train completely?
A. 40 seconds
B. 48 seconds
C. 36 seconds
D. 44 seconds

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Total distance = 100 + 120 = 220 meters. Relative speed = 72 - 54 = 18 km/h = 5 m/s. Time taken = 220 / 5 = 44 seconds.
