Sample questions

1. A train travels at a speed of 72 km/hr. What is its speed in meters per second?

   1. 10 m/s
   2. 15 m/s
   3. 20 m/s
   4. 25 m/s
   Show answer

   Answer: C. 20 m/s

   To convert km/hr to m/s, we multiply by 5/18. So, 72 km/hr * (5/18) = 4 * 5 = 20 m/s.

2. A square has a side length of 9 cm. What is its area?

   1. 18 sq cm
   2. 36 sq cm
   3. 81 sq cm
   4. 162 sq cm
   Show answer

   Answer: C. 81 sq cm

   The area of a square is calculated by the formula side * side. So, Area = 9 cm * 9 cm = 81 sq cm.

3. A train leaves station A at 8:00 AM and reaches station B at 11:30 AM. How long did the journey take?

   1. 3 hours
   2. 3 hours 30 minutes
   3. 4 hours
   4. 4 hours 30 minutes
   Show answer

   Answer: B. 3 hours 30 minutes

   From 8:00 AM to 11:00 AM is 3 hours. From 11:00 AM to 11:30 AM is 30 minutes. Total time = 3 hours + 30 minutes = 3 hours 30 minutes.

   1. 10000
   2. 11111
   3. 9999
   4. 10001
   Show answer

   Answer: A. 10000

   The smallest 5-digit number is formed by placing the smallest possible digits, with the first digit being the smallest non-zero digit. This is 1 followed by four zeros, which is 10000.

5. A car travels 360 km in 6 hours. What is its average speed?

   1. 50 km/hr
   2. 55 km/hr
   3. 60 km/hr
   4. 65 km/hr
   Show answer

   Answer: C. 60 km/hr

   Average speed = Total distance / Total time. Average speed = 360 km / 6 hours = 60 km/hr.
