Boats
1. A boat's speed in still water is 8 km/h, stream speed 2 km/h. Time to go 30 km upstream:
- A. 4 h
- B. 5 h (Correct)
- C. 6 h
- D. 7 h
Explanation: Upstream speed=6 km/h. Time=30/6=5 h.
Trains
2. A train moving at 90 km/h crosses a signal pole in 4 seconds. Train length:
- A. 80 m
- B. 90 m
- C. 100 m (Correct)
- D. 120 m
Explanation: Speed=25 m/s. Length=25×4=100 m.
Circular Track
3. A and B run on a circular track. A takes 40 s per round, B takes 60 s. Starting together, they first meet after:
- A. 80 s
- B. 100 s
- C. 120 s (Correct)
- D. 140 s
Explanation: LCM(40,60)=120 s.
Meeting
4. Two persons start together from A and B, 240 km apart, at 40 and 60 km/h respectively. Each immediately turns back on reaching the opposite endpoint. How far from A is their second meeting?
- A. 120 km
- B. 144 km
- C. 160 km
- D. 192 km (Correct)
Explanation: The first meeting is after 240/100 = 2.4 hours. The second meeting is after 720/100 = 7.2 hours. By then the person starting at A has travelled 288 km, including 48 km back from B, so the meeting is 240 - 48 = 192 km from A.
Basic
5. A train 400 m long passes a man running at 10 km/h in same direction in 20 seconds. Train's speed:
- A. 68 km/h
- B. 72 km/h
- C. 76 km/h
- D. 82 km/h (Correct)
Explanation: Relative speed=400/20=20 m/s=72 km/h. Train speed=72+10=82 km/h.
Boats
6. A man rows 18 km downstream and 12 km upstream in 3 hours each. Speed of stream:
- A. 1 km/h (Correct)
- B. 1.5 km/h
- C. 2 km/h
- D. 2.5 km/h
Explanation: Downstream speed=18/3=6 km/h. Upstream speed=12/3=4 km/h. Stream=(6−4)/2=1 km/h.
Race
7. In a 100 m race, A beats B by 10 m. In 100 m race, B beats C by 10 m. A beats C by approximately:
- A. 19 m (Correct)
- B. 20 m
- C. 21 m
- D. 22 m
Explanation: When A runs 100, B runs 90. When B runs 100, C runs 90. When B runs 90, C runs 81. A beats C by 100−81=19 m.
Average Speed
8. A car goes to destination at 50 km/h and returns at 30 km/h. Average speed:
- A. 36 km/h
- B. 37.5 km/h (Correct)
- C. 40 km/h
- D. 42.5 km/h
Explanation: Avg = 2×50×30/(50+30)=3000/80=37.5 km/h.
Time Speed Distance
9. A vehicle travels at 34 km/h for 3 hours. Distance covered is:
- A. 37 km
- B. 92 km
- C. 112 km
- D. 102 km (Correct)
Explanation: Distance = speed × time.
Time Speed Distance
10. A vehicle travels at 36 km/h for 4 hours. Distance covered is:
- A. 40 km
- B. 134 km
- C. 144 km (Correct)
- D. 154 km
Explanation: Distance = speed × time.

- A. 180 km
- B. 200 km
- C. 190 km (Correct)
- D. 43 km
Explanation: Distance = speed × time.

- A. 230 km (Correct)
- B. 51 km
- C. 220 km
- D. 240 km
Explanation: Distance = speed × time.
