Two cars A and B leave an intersection simultaneously. A travels North at 45 km/h and B travels East at 60 km/h. Find the direct distance between them after 1 hour. MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Two cars A and B leave an intersection simultaneously. A travels North at 45 km/h and B travels East at 60 km/h. Find the direct distance between them after 1 hour.
A. 85 km
B. 70 km
C. 75 km
D. 80 km
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
In 1 hour, distance covered by A = 45 km, and by B = 60 km. Direct distance = sqrt(45^2 + 60^2) = sqrt(2025 + 3600) = sqrt(5625) = 75 km.

B. 180 meters
C. 150 meters
D. 165 meters

B. 18 km/h
C. 22 km/h
D. 16 km/h

Correct Answer: Option B

Question #3
A man covers 1/4 of his total journey at 20 km/h and the remaining 3/4 at 40 km/h. Find his average speed for the entire journey.
A. 32.0 km/h
B. 34.2 km/h
C. 36.0 km/h
D. 30.5 km/h

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Let total distance be 80 km. First part = 20 km; Time = 20 / 20 = 1 hour. Remaining part = 60 km; Time = 60 / 40 = 1.5 hours. Total distance = 80 km, Total time = 2.5 hours. Average speed = 80 / 2.5 = 32 km/h.
