Which of the following statement(s) is/are wrong?
A. A man runs at a speed of 20 km/hr and covers a distance of 400 m. The time taken by the man to cover 400 m is 8 minutes.
B. A person covers a certain distance at x km/hr and an equal distance at y km/hr. The average speed during the whole journey is 2xy/(x+y) km/hr.
C. A cyclist covers a distance of 750 m in 2½ minutes. The speed of the cyclist is 18 km/hr.
D. A speed of x km/hr is equal to 5x/18 m/sec.
Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:निम्न में से कौन-सा/से कथन गलत है/हैं?
A. एक व्यक्ति 20 किमी/घंटा की चाल से दौड़ता है और 400 मीटर की दूरी तय करता है। 400 मीटर तय करने में उसे 8 मिनट लगते हैं।
B. एक व्यक्ति कुछ दूरी x किमी/घंटा की चाल से तथा उतनी ही दूरी y किमी/घंटा की चाल से तय करता है। पूरी यात्रा के दौरान औसत चाल 2xy/(x+y) किमी/घंटा होती है।
C. एक साइकिल चालक 750 मीटर की दूरी 2½ मिनट में तय करता है। साइकिल चालक की चाल 18 किमी/घंटा है।
D. x किमी/घंटा की चाल 5x/18 मीटर/सेकंड के बराबर होती है।

Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A. A onlyकेवल A
Explanation
A: time = 0.4 km ÷ 20 km/hr = 0.02 hr = 1.2 minutes, not 8 minutes — so A is wrong. B is the standard harmonic-mean formula for equal distances and is correct. C: 0.75 km ÷ (2.5/60 hr) = 18 km/hr, correct. D: 1 km/hr = 5/18 m/s, so x km/hr = 5x/18 m/s, correct. Hence only A is wrong.A: समय = 0.4 किमी ÷ 20 किमी/घंटा = 0.02 घंटा = 1.2 मिनट, 8 मिनट नहीं — अतः A गलत है। B समान दूरियों के लिए हरात्मक माध्य का मानक सूत्र है और सही है। C: 0.75 किमी ÷ (2.5/60 घंटा) = 18 किमी/घंटा, सही। D: 1 किमी/घंटा = 5/18 मी/से, अतः x किमी/घंटा = 5x/18 मी/से, सही। अतः केवल A गलत है।More Mathematical Reasoning and Aptitude questions
