  1. Speed

    1. A car travels 240 km in 5 hours. Its speed is:

    • A. 42 km/h
    • B. 45 km/h
    • C. 48 km/h (Correct)
    • D. 50 km/h

    Explanation: Speed = distance/time = 240/5 = 48 km/h.

  2. Distance

    2. A bike moves at 60 km/h for 2.5 hours. Distance covered is:

    • A. 120 km
    • B. 130 km
    • C. 140 km
    • D. 150 km (Correct)

    Explanation: Distance = 60 x 2.5 = 150 km.

  3. Time

    3. Time taken to cover 144 km at 36 km/h is:

    • A. 3 hours
    • B. 4 hours (Correct)
    • C. 5 hours
    • D. 6 hours

    Explanation: Time = 144/36 = 4 hours.

  4. Train

    4. A 150 m train passes a pole in 10 seconds. Speed is:

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

    Explanation: Speed = 150/10 = 15 m/s.

  5. Relative Speed

    5. Two trains move in opposite directions at 55 km/h and 65 km/h. Relative speed is:

    • A. 100
    • B. 110
    • C. 120 (Correct)
    • D. 130

    Explanation: Opposite direction speeds add up.

  6. Boats

    6. Boat speed in still water is 20 km/h and stream speed is 4 km/h. Downstream speed is:

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

    Explanation: Downstream speed = 20 + 4.

  7. Boats

    7. Boat speed in still water is 20 km/h and stream speed is 4 km/h. Upstream speed is:

    • A. 14
    • B. 16 (Correct)
    • C. 18
    • D. 24

    Explanation: Upstream speed = 20 - 4.

  8. Average 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.

  9. Meeting Problem

    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.

  10. Trains

    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.

  11. Speed Change

    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%.

  12. Train Crossing

    12. A 180 m train moving at 54 km/h crosses a standing man in:

    • A. 10 sec
    • B. 12 sec (Correct)
    • C. 15 sec
    • D. 18 sec

    Explanation: 54 km/h = 15 m/s, so time = 180/15 = 12 sec.

  13. Speed

    13. A car travels 180 km in 4 hours. Its speed is:

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

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

  14. Distance

    14. If a bike moves at 60 km/h for 3 hours, distance covered is:

    • A. 160 km
    • B. 170 km
    • C. 180 km (Correct)
    • D. 190 km

    Explanation: Distance = speed x time = 60 x 3.
