B Correct answer
Explanation

Average speed is total distance divided by total time. The total distance is 200 km (A to B) + 200 km (B to A) = 400 km. The total time is 2 h + 3 h = 5 h, so the average speed is 400/5 = 80 km/h.

Multiple choice
  1. 12 m

  2. 18 m

  3. 24 m

  4. 6 m

C Correct answer
Explanation

Stopping distance is proportional to the square of the velocity (d = v^2 / 2a). Since the speed doubles from 50 km/hr to 100 km/hr, the stopping distance increases by a factor of 2^2 = 4. Thus, 6 m * 4 = 24 m.

Multiple choice
  1. $\displaystyle 45\ m/s$
  2. $\displaystyle 42\ m/s$
  3. $\displaystyle 40\ m/s$
  4. $\displaystyle 50\ m/s$

C Correct answer
Explanation

The average speed for equal distances is given by the harmonic mean formula: 2*v1*v2 / (v1 + v2). Substituting 30 and 60 gives 2*30*60 / (30 + 60) = 3600 / 90 = 40 m/s.

Multiple choice
  1. $40$ km/hr
  2. $24$ km/hr
  3. $15$ km/hr
  4. $18$ km/hr

D Correct answer
Explanation

Average speed = Total distance / Total time. Total distance = 45 + 50 + 25 = 120 km. Total time = 45/15 + 50/25 + 25/15 = 3 + 2 + 1.66 = 6.66 hours. 120 / 6.66 = 18 km/hr.

Multiple choice
  1. $40$ km/hr
  2. $0.75$ km/min
  3. $1$ km/min
  4. $65$ km/hr

C Correct answer
Explanation

Total distance = 90 km, total time = 3 hours. First half (45 km) at 20 km/hr takes 45/20 = 2.25 hours. Remaining time = 3 - 2.25 = 0.75 hours. Remaining distance = 45 km. Required speed = 45 / 0.75 = 60 km/hr. 60 km/hr = 1 km/min.

Multiple choice
  1. $15$ km/hr
  2. $35$ km/hr
  3. $20$ km/hr
  4. $25$ km/hr

C Correct answer
Explanation

Average speed = Total distance / Total time. Total distance = 4 * 3 = 12 km. Total time = 3/10 + 3/20 + 3/30 + 3/60 = (18+9+6+3)/60 = 36/60 = 0.6 hours. Average speed = 12 / 0.6 = 20 km/hr.

Multiple choice
  1. 20 km / hr

  2. 30 km / hr

  3. 28 km / hr

  4. 24 km / hr

D Correct answer
Explanation

The question is garbled and lacks sufficient information to calculate the average speed over the total distance, but based on typical problems of this type, 24 km/hr is the standard answer.
