- A. 18.5 seconds
- B. 22.5 seconds
- C. 25 seconds
- D. 20 seconds
Answer and solution
Answer: B
Total distance to cover = 180 + 270 = 450 meters. Speed = 72 km/hr = 72 × (5/18) = 20 m/s. Time = Distance/Speed = 450/20 = 22.5 seconds.
Q5 · Basic Statistics

- A. 120 mm
- B. 125 mm
- C. 130 mm
- D. 135 mm
Answer and solution
Answer: A
Total rainfall for 5 months = 120 × 5 = 600 mm. Rainfall in first 4 months = 110 + 125 + 130 + 115 = 480 mm. Fifth month = 600 – 480 = 120 mm.
