- A. 14
- B. 16
- C. 20
- D. 24 (Correct)

- A. 14
- B. 16 (Correct)
- C. 18
- D. 24
Explanation: Upstream speed = 20 - 4.
- Race and Relative Speed
8. A person goes from town A to B at 30 km/h and returns at 20 km/h. Average speed for the whole trip is:
- A. 22
- B. 24 (Correct)
- C. 25
- D. 26
Explanation: Average speed = 2ab/(a+b) = 2 x 30 x 20 / 50 = 24.
- Race and Relative Speed
9. Two people start 180 km apart and move towards each other at 40 km/h and 50 km/h. They meet after:
- A. 1.5 hr
- B. 2 hr (Correct)
- C. 2.5 hr
- D. 3 hr
Explanation: Relative speed = 90 km/h, so time = 180/90 = 2 hours.
- Race and Relative Speed
10. A 120 m train crosses a 180 m platform in 15 seconds. Speed is:
- A. 15 m/s
- B. 18 m/s
- C. 20 m/s (Correct)
- D. 24 m/s
Explanation: Total distance = 300 m, so speed = 300/15 = 20 m/s.
- Race and Relative Speed
11. If speed is increased by 25%, time for the same journey decreases by:
- A. 15%
- B. 20% (Correct)
- C. 25%
- D. 30%
Explanation: New time factor = 1/1.25 = 0.8, so time decreases by 20%.
- Race and Relative Speed
