Two cars A and B travel from one city to another at speeds of 72 km/h and 90 km/h respectively. If car A takes 1 hour more than car B for the journey, what is the distance between the two cities? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Two cars A and B travel from one city to another at speeds of 72 km/h and 90 km/h respectively. If car A takes 1 hour more than car B for the journey, what is the distance between the two cities?
A. 400 km
B. 500 km
C. 450 km
D. 360 km
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Let distance be d. d/72 - d/90 = 1 => (5d - 4d)/360 = 1 => d/360 = 1 => d = 360 km.

Question #1
A professional athlete tracks a loop of radius 140 meters in 88 seconds. What is his speed in km/h?
A. 40 km/h
B. 44 km/h
C. 32 km/h
D. 36 km/h

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Circumference of loop = 2 * (22/7) * 140 = 880 meters. Speed = 880 / 88 = 10 m/s. Converting to km/h = 10 * (18/5) = 36 km/h.

Question #2
Two cars start from the same spot and travel along perpendicular roads. One travels at 15 km/h and the other at 20 km/h. Find the distance between them after 2 hours.
A. 45 km
B. 60 km
C. 50 km
D. 55 km

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
In 2 hours, the first car travels 30 km and the second car travels 40 km. Direct distance = sqrt(30^2 + 40^2) = sqrt(900 + 1600) = sqrt(2500) = 50 km.

Question #3
A standard boat can row 12 km/h in still water. If the speed of the current is 2 km/h, find the time required to log 30 km upstream.
A. 4.0 hours
B. 2.5 hours
C. 3.5 hours
D. 3.0 hours

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Upstream speed = 12 - 2 = 10 km/h. Time required = Distance / Upstream speed = 30 / 10 = 3 hours.
