Walking at 3/4 of his normal speed, a person is 10 minutes late to his destination. What is his normal time? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Walking at 3/4 of his normal speed, a person is 10 minutes late to his destination. What is his normal time?
A. 35 minutes
B. 30 minutes
C. 40 minutes
D. 25 minutes
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
New speed = 3/4 of normal speed => New time = 4/3 of normal time. Difference = 1/3 of normal time = 10 minutes. Normal time = 10 * 3 = 30 minutes.

A motorboat registers a speed of 15 km/h in still water. It takes 4 hours to cover a certain distance upstream. If the stream velocity is 3 km/h, find the distance covered.
A. 52 km
B. 48 km
C. 56 km
D. 44 km

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Upstream speed = 15 - 3 = 12 km/h. Distance = Upstream speed * Time = 12 * 4 = 48 km.

A train 150 meters long passes a pole in 7.5 seconds. What is the speed of the train in km/h?
A. 80 km/h
B. 64 km/h
C. 72 km/h
D. 84 km/h

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Speed of train = 150 / 7.5 = 20 m/s. In km/h = 20 * (18/5) = 72 km/h.

Question #3
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. 45 km
B. 42 km
C. 38 km
D. 40 km

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
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.
