  1. Speed

    1. A bike covers 150 km in 3 hours. Its speed is:

    • A. 40 km/h
    • B. 45 km/h
    • C. 50 km/h (Correct)
    • D. 55 km/h

    Explanation: Speed = 150/3 = 50 km/h.

  2. Distance

    2. A bus moves at 48 km/h for 5 hours. Distance covered is:

    • A. 220 km
    • B. 230 km
    • C. 240 km (Correct)
    • D. 250 km

    Explanation: Distance = speed x time = 48 x 5.

  3. Time

    3. Time taken to cover 90 km at 30 km/h is:

    • A. 2 hr
    • B. 3 hr (Correct)
    • C. 4 hr
    • D. 5 hr

    Explanation: Time = distance/speed = 90/30 = 3 hours.

  4. Train

    4. A 180 m train passes a pole in 12 seconds. Its speed is:

    • A. 12 m/s
    • B. 15 m/s (Correct)
    • C. 18 m/s
    • D. 20 m/s

    Explanation: Speed = 180/12 = 15 m/s.

  5. Relative Speed

    5. Two trains move in opposite directions at 55 km/h and 35 km/h. Relative speed is:

    • A. 20
    • B. 55
    • C. 70
    • D. 90 (Correct)

    Explanation: Opposite directions means speeds add.

  6. Relative Speed

    6. Two trains move in the same direction at 72 km/h and 54 km/h. Relative speed is:

    • A. 12
    • B. 15
    • C. 18 (Correct)
    • D. 24

    Explanation: Same direction means difference of speeds.

  7. Boats

    7. Boat speed in still water is 15 km/h and stream speed is 4 km/h. Upstream speed is:

    • A. 9
    • B. 10
    • C. 11 (Correct)
    • D. 12

    Explanation: Upstream speed = 15 - 4.

  8. Boats

    8. Boat speed in still water is 15 km/h and stream speed is 4 km/h. Downstream speed is:

    • A. 17
    • B. 18
    • C. 19 (Correct)
    • D. 20

    Explanation: Downstream speed = 15 + 4.

  9. Average Speed

    9. A man goes at 40 km/h and returns at 60 km/h. Average speed is:

    • A. 46 km/h
    • B. 48 km/h (Correct)
    • C. 50 km/h
    • D. 52 km/h

    Explanation: Average speed = 2ab/(a+b) = 2 x 40 x 60 / 100 = 48.

  10. Unit Conversion

    10. 54 km/h is equal to:

    • A. 12 m/s
    • B. 15 m/s (Correct)
    • C. 18 m/s
    • D. 20 m/s

    Explanation: Multiply by 5/18: 54 x 5/18 = 15.

  11. Unit Conversion

    11. 20 m/s is equal to:

    • A. 60 km/h
    • B. 72 km/h (Correct)
    • C. 80 km/h
    • D. 90 km/h

    Explanation: Multiply by 18/5: 20 x 18/5 = 72.

  12. Meeting Problems

    12. Two persons 210 km apart move towards each other at 60 km/h and 45 km/h. They meet after:

    • A. 1 hr
    • B. 2 hr (Correct)
    • C. 2.5 hr
    • D. 3 hr

    Explanation: Relative speed = 105 km/h, time = 210/105 = 2 hours.

  13. Trains

    13. A 250 m train crosses a 350 m platform in 30 seconds. Speed is:

    • A. 18 m/s
    • B. 20 m/s (Correct)
    • C. 22 m/s
    • D. 25 m/s

    Explanation: Total distance = 600 m, speed = 600/30 = 20 m/s.

  14. Speed Change

    14. If speed increases by 20%, the time for the same distance decreases by:

    • A. 16 2/3% (Correct)
    • B. 18%
    • C. 20%
    • D. 25%

    Explanation: New time factor = 1/1.2 = 5/6, so decrease = 1/6 = 16 2/3%.

  15. Train Crossing

    15. A 150 m train moving at 45 km/h crosses a man walking at 9 km/h in the opposite direction. Time taken is:

    • A. 8 sec
    • B. 9 sec
    • C. 10 sec (Correct)
    • D. 12 sec

    Explanation: Relative speed = 54 km/h = 15 m/s, time = 150/15 = 10 sec.
