  1. Speed

    1. A scooter travels 180 km in 4 hours. Speed is:

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

    Explanation: Speed = 180/4 = 45 km/h.

  2. Distance

    2. At 54 km/h, distance covered in 3 hours is:

    • A. 152 km
    • B. 160 km
    • C. 162 km (Correct)
    • D. 168 km

    Explanation: Distance = speed x time = 54 x 3.

  3. Time

    3. Time taken to cover 84 km at 28 km/h is:

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

    Explanation: Time = distance/speed = 84/28.

  4. Train

    4. A 210 m train passes a pole in 14 seconds. Speed is:

    • A. 12 m/s
    • B. 14 m/s
    • C. 15 m/s (Correct)
    • D. 16 m/s

    Explanation: Speed = 210/14 = 15 m/s.

  5. Relative Speed

    5. Two trains move in opposite directions at 48 km/h and 42 km/h. Relative speed is:

    • A. 84
    • B. 86
    • C. 88
    • D. 90 (Correct)

    Explanation: Opposite directions means speeds add.

  6. Relative Speed

    6. Two trains move in same direction at 66 km/h and 54 km/h. Relative speed is:

    • A. 10
    • B. 12 (Correct)
    • C. 14
    • D. 16

    Explanation: Same direction means difference of speeds.

  7. Boats

    7. Boat speed in still water is 18 km/h and stream speed is 5 km/h. Upstream speed is:

    • A. 11
    • B. 12
    • C. 13 (Correct)
    • D. 14

    Explanation: Upstream speed = 18 - 5.

  8. Boats

    8. Boat speed in still water is 18 km/h and stream speed is 5 km/h. Downstream speed is:

    • A. 21
    • B. 22
    • C. 23 (Correct)
    • D. 24

    Explanation: Downstream speed = 18 + 5.

  9. Average Speed

    9. A man goes at 24 km/h and returns at 16 km/h. Average speed is:

    • A. 18
    • B. 19.2 (Correct)
    • C. 20
    • D. 21

    Explanation: Average speed = 2ab/(a+b) = 2 x 24 x 16 / 40 = 19.2.

  10. Unit Conversion

    10. 90 km/h is equal to:

    • A. 20 m/s
    • B. 22 m/s
    • C. 25 m/s (Correct)
    • D. 27 m/s

    Explanation: Multiply by 5/18: 90 x 5/18 = 25.

  11. Unit Conversion

    11. 25 m/s is equal to:

    • A. 72 km/h
    • B. 81 km/h
    • C. 90 km/h (Correct)
    • D. 100 km/h

    Explanation: Multiply by 18/5: 25 x 18/5 = 90.

  12. Meeting Problems

    12. Two persons 240 km apart move towards each other at 70 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 = 120 km/h, time = 240/120 = 2 hours.

  13. Trains

    13. A 180 m train crosses a 270 m platform in 18 seconds. Speed is:

    • A. 20 m/s
    • B. 22 m/s
    • C. 25 m/s (Correct)
    • D. 28 m/s

    Explanation: Total distance = 450 m, speed = 450/18 = 25 m/s.

  14. Speed Change

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

    • A. 20%
    • B. 22%
    • C. 25% (Correct)
    • D. 30%

    Explanation: New time factor = 1/0.8 = 1.25, so time increases by 25%.

  15. Train Crossing

    15. A 240 m train moving at 72 km/h crosses a man walking at 6 km/h in opposite direction. Time taken is:

    • A. 10 sec
    • B. 11 sec (Correct)
    • C. 12 sec
    • D. 13 sec

    Explanation: Relative speed = 78 km/h = 65/3 m/s. Time = 240 divided by 65/3 ≈ 11.1 sec, nearest 11 sec.
