Walking at 5/6 of his baseline typical speed, a courier agent reaches his office terminal 15 minutes late. Find his typical baseline time parameter. MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Walking at 5/6 of his baseline typical speed, a courier agent reaches his office terminal 15 minutes late. Find his typical baseline time parameter.
A. 80 minutes
B. 70 minutes
C. 85 minutes
D. 75 minutes
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
New speed = 5/6 of usual speed => New time = 6/5 of usual time. Difference = 1/5 of usual time = 15 minutes. Typical baseline time parameter = 15 * 5 = 75 minutes.

Question #1
A motorboat rows 24 km downstream in 3 hours and tracks the identical route upstream back to the jetty point in 4 hours. Find the net speed index of the current stream flow.
A. 1.2 km/h
B. 1.0 km/h
C. 0.8 km/h
D. 1.5 km/h

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Downstream speed = 24 / 3 = 8 km/h. Upstream speed = 24 / 4 = 6 km/h. Speed of current stream flow = (8 - 6) / 2 = 2 / 2 = 1.0 km/h.
