Complete the number or series: 6, 3, 12, 6, 24, _______.

(A) 12
(B) 18

A cyclist covers a distance of 750 meters in 2 minutes and 30 seconds. What is his speed in km/hr?

(A) 16 km/hr
(B) 17 km/hr
(C) 18 km/hr
(D) 19 km/hr

Check Answer

(C) 18 km/hr

Explanation

Solution: Distance: 750 meters, which is 0.75 kilometers.

Time: 2 minutes 30 seconds, i.e., 2.5 minutes.

Convert the time to hours:

2.5 ÷ 60 = 0.0417 hours.

Now, speed is calculated by dividing the distance by the time:

0.75 ÷ 0.0417 ≈ 18.

Therefore, the speed is 18 km/hr.

This was an ambitious policy that included several areas, some of which are mentioned below:

Ownership: The government took over 32 large industrial units in ten sectors, including steel, cement, and heavy engineering.

Management: Instead of private managers, bureaucrats and professional boards, like the Board of Industrial Management (BIM), were appointed.

Finance: In 1974, the government took over all the local commercial banks and life insurance companies, thus gaining power over financial institutions.

Quick Info: Rashid Minhas was conferred the Nishan-e-Haider in 1971, but he died before the start of the 1971 Indo-Pak war, and hence his martyrdom is usually counted among the causalities of the 1971 Indo-Pak war.
