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. MCQ with Answer and Explanation

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. 55 km
B. 50 km
C. 45 km
D. 60 km
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
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.

A train 150 meters long is tracking at 54 km/h. How long will it take to pass a stationary pedestrian?
A. 8 seconds
B. 12 seconds
C. 10 seconds
D. 14 seconds

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Speed of train = 54 * (5/18) = 15 m/s. Time taken = 150 / 15 = 10 seconds.

Question #2
A train 140 meters long passes a stationary observer in 7 seconds. How long will it take to cross a platform 260 meters long?
A. 22 seconds
B. 24 seconds
C. 18 seconds
D. 20 seconds

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Speed of train = 140 / 7 = 20 m/s. Total distance to pass platform = 140 + 260 = 400 meters. Time required = 400 / 20 = 20 seconds.

A boat can row 15 km/h in still water. If the river current flows at 5 km/h, find the total time taken by the boat to row 40 km upstream.
A. 5 hours
B. 6 hours
C. 3 hours
D. 4 hours

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Upstream speed = 15 - 5 = 10 km/h. Time taken = Distance / Upstream speed = 40 / 10 = 4 hours.
