Q. If two cars are moving in the same direction at speeds of 60 km/h and 80 km/h, how long will it take for the faster car to overtake the slower car if they start 100 km apart?

A. 1 hour
B. 1.5 hours
C. 2 hours
D. 2.5 hours

Solution

Relative speed = 80 km/h - 60 km/h = 20 km/h. Time = Distance / Speed = 100 km / 20 km/h = 5 hours.

Correct Answer: B — 1.5 hours

Q. If two cars start from the same point and travel in the same direction at speeds of 60 km/h and 80 km/h, how far apart will they be after 3 hours?

A. 60 km
B. 50 km
C. 30 km
D. 90 km

Solution

Relative speed = 80 km/h - 60 km/h = 20 km/h. Distance apart = Relative speed × Time = 20 km/h × 3 h = 60 km.

Correct Answer: A — 60 km

Q. If two chords AB and CD intersect at point E inside a circle, and AE = 3 cm, EB = 5 cm, what is the length of CE if ED = 4 cm?

A. 6
B. 8
C. 12
D. 10

Solution

Using the intersecting chords theorem: AE * EB = CE * ED, we have 3 * 5 = CE * 4, thus 15 = CE * 4, so CE = 15/4 = 3.75, which rounds to 4.

Correct Answer: A — 6
