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. 40 km
B. 30 km
C. 35 km
D. 45 km
Answer: Option C
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 man rows a boat 20 km downstream in 2 hours and returns upstream in 5 hours. Find the speed of the stream.
A. 4.0 km/h
B. 3.5 km/h
C. 2.5 km/h
D. 3.0 km/h

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Downstream speed = 20 / 2 = 10 km/h. Upstream speed = 20 / 5 = 4 km/h. Speed of stream = (10 - 4) / 2 = 6 / 2 = 3 km/h.

Question #2
A field surveyor walking at 4 km/h handles a regular sector. If he steps up to run at 8 km/h, he takes 30 minutes less across the course stretch. Find the absolute distance profile.
A. 5.0 km
B. 3.5 km
C. 4.0 km
D. 4.5 km

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Time difference = 30 minutes = 0.5 hours. Let distance be d. d / 4 - d / 8 = 0.5 => d / 8 = 0.5 => d = 4 km.
