Question : 1

If after the first signal, 2nd signal: 2 red and 2 green lights, and 3rd signal: 1 red and 3 green lights, then what is the distance covered up to the last signal?

a) 67 km

b) 68 km

c) 69 km

d) 60 km

e) 65 km

Answer: (c)

Starting in West direction: 1 green light means 20 km/hr

So 15 minutes at 20km/hr, means covers $15/60$ x 20 = 5 km

Next, 2 red & 2 green lights, means turn left and 24 minutes at 40 km/hr

So now distance covered = $24/60$ x 40 = 16 km

Now for next 45 minutes, 2 red & 2 green lights, means turned left and drove at 40 km/hr,

so covered $45/60$ x 40 = 30 Km

Next – 1 red & 3 green lights, turned right and 18 minutes at 60 km/hr

So covered = $18/60$ x 60 = 18 km. Next 3 red lights so stopped

So total distance = 5+16+30+18 = 69 km

If the person stops at 3rd signal, then what is his final position with respect to his starting position?

a) 50.5 km to the south-west

b) 52.5 km to the north-east

c) 50 km to the north-west

d) 52.5 km to the south-west

e) 50.5 km to the south-east

Answer: (d)

Starting in West direction: 1 green light means 20 km/hr

So 15 minutes at 20km/hr, means covers $15/60$ x 20 = 5 km

Next, 2 red & 2 green lights, means turn left and 24 minutes at 40 km/hr

So now distance covered = $24/60$ x 40 = 16 km

Now for next 45 minutes, 1 red & 3 green lights, means turned right and drove at 60 km/hr,

so covered $45/60$ x 60 = 45 Km

Next, 2 red & 2 green lights, means turn left and 24 minutes at 40 km/hr

So now distance covered = $24/60$ x 40 = 16 km

Now for next 45 minutes, 1 red & 3 green lights, means turned right and drove at 60 km/hr,

so covered$ 45/60$ x 60 = 45 Km

Next – 1 red & 2 green lights, turned right and 18 minutes at 40 km/hr
