Question : A truck travels 40 km in the first hour and 50 km in the second hour. What is the average speed of the truck?
Option 1: 45 km/hr
Option 2: 40 km/hr
Option 3: 48 km/hr
Option 4: 50 km/hr

Question : If the number formed by the last two digits of a three-digit integer is an integral multiple of 6, the original integer itself will always be divisible by:
Option 1: 6
Option 2: 3
Option 3: 2
Option 4: 4
Correct Answer: 2
Solution : Given: The last two digits of a three-digit integer is an integral multiple of 6. Let the 3-digit integer be $100x+10y+z$. $10y+z =6m$ ($m$ is any integer) The 3-digit integer is $100x+10y+z = 100x+6m = 2(50x+3m)$. So, the original integer itself will always be divisible

Option 1: 664
Option 2: 732
Option 3: 516
Option 4: 956
Correct Answer: 732
Solution : Given: 2041 : 346 :: 5310 : ?
Like, 2041 : 346→(2 + 0 + 4 + 1)3 + 3 = (7)3 + 3 = 343 + 3 = 346 Similarly, for 5310 : ?→(5 + 3 + 1 + 0)3 +

Question : During a journey, a person travels half of the distance at a speed of 18 km/h and the remaining half of the journey at a speed of 22 km/h. What is his average speed for the entire journey?
Option 1: 21.4 km/h
Option 2: 20.2 km/h
Option 3: 19.2 km/h
Option 4: 19.8 km/h
Correct Answer: 19.8 km/h
Solution : Let $d$ be the total distance of the journey. Half of the distance at 18 km/h and the remaining half at 22 km/h ⇒ Total Time for the journey = $\frac{d}{2×18}$ +$\frac{d}{2×22}$ ⇒ average Speed = $\frac{\text{d}}{\text{$\frac{d}{2×18}$ +$\frac{d}{2×22}$ }}$ = $\frac{\text{d}}{\text{$\frac{22d}{2×18×22}$ +$\frac{18d}{2×18×22}$ }}$ =
