IPMAT Daily Concept Test – Time, Speed & Distance

Level: IPMAT Indore | Quantitative Aptitude

Instructions: Choose the correct option. Each question has one best answer.

[Q1] A car travels 240 km at 60 km/h. How much time does it take?

(a) 3 h

(b) 4 h

(c) 5 h

(d) 6 h

[ANS] b

[SOL] Explanation: Time = distance/speed = 240/60 = 4 hours.

[Q2] A train travels 360 km in 5 hours. What is its average speed?

(a) 60 km/h

(b) 72 km/h

(c) 75 km/h

(d) 80 km/h

[ANS] b

[SOL] Explanation: Average speed = 360/5 = 72 km/h.

[Q3] A person increases his speed from 40 km/h to 50 km/h. For the same distance, the
time taken decreases by what percentage?

(a) 15%

(b) 20%

(c) 25%

(d) 10%

[ANS] b

[SOL] Explanation: Time is inversely proportional to speed. New time/original time =


40/50 = 0.8, so time decreases by 20%.
[Q4] A man walks to a place at 5 km/h and returns at 3 km/h. What is his average speed
for the entire journey?

(a) 3.5 km/h

(b) 3.75 km/h

(c) 4 km/h

(d) 4.25 km/h

[ANS] b

[SOL] Explanation: For equal distances, average speed = 2ab/(a+b) = 30/8 = 3.75 km/h.

[Q5] A train 180 m long crosses a pole in 12 seconds. What is its speed?

(a) 45 km/h

(b) 54 km/h

(c) 60 km/h

(d) 72 km/h

[ANS] b

[SOL] Explanation: Speed = 180/12 = 15 m/s = 54 km/h.

[Q6] Two cars start from the same point in opposite directions at 50 km/h and 70 km/h.
How far apart are they after 2 hours?

(a) 180 km

(b) 200 km

(c) 240 km

(d) 260 km

[ANS] c

[SOL] Explanation: Relative speed = 120 km/h. In 2 hours, separation = 240 km.

[Q7] A person covers half a distance at 30 km/h and the other half at 60 km/h. What is
the average speed?

(a) 40 km/h

(b) 45 km/h

(c) 48 km/h
(d) 50 km/h

[ANS] a

[SOL] Explanation: For equal distances, average speed = 2×30×60/(30+60) = 40 km/h.

[Q8] A train moving at 54 km/h crosses a 270 m bridge in 30 seconds. What is the length
of the train?

(a) 150 m

(b) 180 m

(c) 200 m

(d) 220 m

[ANS] b

[SOL] Explanation: 54 km/h = 15 m/s. In 30 s, total distance = 450 m. Train length = 450
− 270 = 180 m.

[Q9] A cyclist covers a certain distance in 4 hours. If his speed is increased by 5 km/h,
he takes 3 hours. What is the distance?

(a) 45 km

(b) 50 km

(c) 60 km

(d) 75 km

[ANS] c

[SOL] Explanation: Let speed = v. 4v = 3(v+5), so v=15. Distance = 60 km.

[Q10] Two trains of lengths 150 m and 250 m move in opposite directions at 54 km/h
and 36 km/h. How long will they take to cross each other?

(a) 12 s

(b) 14 s

(c) 16 s

(d) 18 s

[ANS] c
[SOL] Explanation: Relative speed = 90 km/h = 25 m/s. Total length = 400 m. Time =
400/25 = 16 s.
