Two delivery cars start from the same warehouse at the same time in identical directions. The first tracks a constant speed of 45 km/h and the second runs at 55 km/h. What is the distance between them after 2 hours 30 minutes? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Two delivery cars start from the same warehouse at the same time in identical directions. The first tracks a constant speed of 45 km/h and the second runs at 55 km/h. What is the distance between them after 2 hours 30 minutes?
A. 25 km
B. 27 km
C. 30 km
D. 22 km
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Relative speed = 55 - 45 = 10 km/h. Time = 2.5 hours. Distance separation = Relative Speed * Time = 10 * 2.5 = 25 km.

Question #1
A boat can row 15 km/h in still water. If the velocity index of the stream tracks at 3 km/h, find the time parameter taken by the boat to row 36 km upstream.
A. 3.0 hours
B. 3.5 hours
C. 4.0 hours
D. 2.5 hours

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Upstream speed = 15 - 3 = 12 km/h. Time taken = Distance / Upstream speed = 36 / 12 = 3 hours.

Question #2
A person has to cover a distance of 160 km. He covers the first half of the distance at 40 km/h. At what speed must he travel the remaining half to make the average speed for the whole journey 50 km/h?
A. 75 km/h
B. 60 km/h
C. 66.67 km/h
D. 70 km/h

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Let the required speed for the second half be x km/h. Using the average speed formula for equal halves: Average Speed = 2v1*v2 / (v1 + v2) => 50 = (2 * 40 * x) / (40 + x) => 50(40 + x) = 80x => 2000 + 50x = 80x => 30x = 2000 => x = 66.67 km/h.

Question #3
A worker reaches his factory 15 minutes late if he walks at 4 km/h, and 10 minutes early if he walks at 6 km/h. Find the distance to his factory.
A. 8 km
B. 5 km
C. 4 km
D. 6 km

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Time difference = 15 - (-10) = 25 minutes = 25/60 = 5/12 hour. Let distance be d. d/4 - d/6 = 5/12 => d/12 = 5/12 => d = 5 km.
