Two delivery vans start from a junction hub and track along perpendicular cross lanes. One runs at 24 km/h and the other at 32 km/h. Find the separation distance between them after 1 hour. MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Two delivery vans start from a junction hub and track along perpendicular cross lanes. One runs at 24 km/h and the other at 32 km/h. Find the separation distance between them after 1 hour.
A. 42 km
B. 45 km
C. 40 km
D. 38 km
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
In 1 hour, the first van covers 24 km and the second covers 32 km. Direct line separation distance = sqrt(24^2 + 32^2) = sqrt(576 + 1024) = sqrt(1600) = 40 km.

A boat covers 36 km downstream in 3 hours and maps the identical stretch upstream in 6 hours. Find the speed of the river stream current.
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 = 36 / 3 = 12 km/h. Upstream speed = 36 / 6 = 6 km/h. Speed of stream current = (12 - 6) / 2 = 3 km/h.

Question #2
A man can row 8 km/h in still water. If the river is running at 4 km/h, it takes him 6 hours to row to a place and back. How far is the place?
A. 16 km
B. 18 km
C. 20 km
D. 24 km

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Downstream speed = 8 + 4 = 12 km/h. Upstream speed = 8 - 4 = 4 km/h. Let distance be d. d/12 + d/4 = 6 => 4d/12 = 6 => d/3 = 6 => d = 18 km.
