A car travels from city A to city B at an average speed of 50 km/h and returns at an average speed of 60 km/h. What is the average speed for the entire trip?
A. 54 km/h
B. 55 km/h
C. 56 km/h
D. 58 km/h
Correct Answer: A To find the average speed for the entire trip, we need to find the total distance traveled and the total time taken. Since the distance from A to B is the same as the distance from B to A, we can let the distance be x. The time taken to travel from A to B is x/50 and the time taken to travel from B to A is x/60. The total time is x/50 + x/60 = (6x + 5x)/300 = 11x/300. The average speed is total distance/total time = 2x/(11x/300) = 600/11 = 54.55 km/h, which is approximately 54 km/h.

A box contains 5 red balls, 3 blue balls, and 2 green balls. If 2 balls are drawn at random, what is the probability that the first ball is blue and the second ball is green?
A. 0.05
B. 0.06
C. 0.07
D. 0.08
Correct Answer: B The total number of balls is 5 + 3 + 2 = 10. The probability of drawing a blue ball first is 3/10 = 0.3. The probability of drawing a green ball second, given that a blue ball was drawn first, is 2/9 = 0.22. The probability of both events occurring is 0.3 x 0.22 = 0.066, which is approximately 0.06.
Q15. [+2, -0.66]CSAT
If a car travels from city A to city B at an average speed of 60 km/h and returns at an average speed of 40 km/h, what is the average speed for the entire trip?
A. 48 km/h
B. 50 km/h
C. 55 km/h
D. 60 km/h
Correct Answer: A To find the average speed for the entire trip, we need to find the total distance traveled and the total time taken. Since the distance from A to B is the same as the distance from B to A, we can let the distance be x. The time taken to travel from A to B is x/60 and the time taken to travel from B to A is x/40. The total time is x/60 + x/40 = (2x + 3x)/120 = 5x/120 = x/24. The average speed is total distance/total time = 2x/(x/24) = 48 km/h.
