Two cars start from the same place at the same time in the same direction. The first car runs at a constant speed of 50 km/h and the second car runs at 60 km/h. What is the distance between them after 3 hours 30 minutes? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Two cars start from the same place at the same time in the same direction. The first car runs at a constant speed of 50 km/h and the second car runs at 60 km/h. What is the distance between them after 3 hours 30 minutes?
A. 35 km
B. 45 km
C. 40 km
D. 30 km
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Relative speed = 60 - 50 = 10 km/h. Time = 3.5 hours. Distance between them = Relative Speed * Time = 10 * 3.5 = 35 km.

Question #1
A boat covers 24 km downstream in 2 hours and the same distance upstream in 4 hours. Find the speed of the stream.
A. 3.0 km/h
B. 2.5 km/h
C. 4.0 km/h
D. 3.5 km/h

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Downstream speed = 24 / 2 = 12 km/h. Upstream speed = 24 / 4 = 6 km/h. Speed of stream = (12 - 6) / 2 = 3 km/h.

Question #2
A man rows 24 km downstream in 2 hours and the same distance upstream in 6 hours. Find the speed of the stream.
A. 5 km/h
B. 6 km/h
C. 4 km/h
D. 3 km/h

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Downstream speed = 24 / 2 = 12 km/h. Upstream speed = 24 / 6 = 4 km/h. Speed of stream = (12 - 4) / 2 = 8 / 2 = 4 km/h.

Question #3
A stream flows at 3 km/h. A boat can row 9 km/h in still water. How much time does it take to go 24 km downstream and return upstream to the starting point?
A. 6 hours
B. 8 hours
C. 5 hours
D. 7 hours

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Downstream speed = 9 + 3 = 12 km/h. Upstream speed = 9 - 3 = 6 km/h. Time taken = 24/12 + 24/6 = 2 + 4 = 6 hours.
