Speed, Time and Distance
If two planes leave the same airport at 1:00 PM, how many miles apart will they be at 3:00 PM if one travels directly north at 150 mph and the other travels directly west at 200 mph?
Correct answer: C
After 2 hours, the first plane travels 150 mph × 2 = 300 miles north, and the second plane travels 200 mph × 2 = 400 miles west. Using the Pythagorean theorem, the distance apart is √(300² + 400²) = √(90000 + 160000) = √250000 = 500 miles.

Ancient India
The Aryans came from Central Asia to India around:
Correct answer: D
Scholarly consensus based on linguistic, archaeological, and genetic evidence places the migration of the Aryans into India during the Bronze Age, approximately between 1900 BCE and 1200 BCE, with around 1500 BCE being the most commonly cited date. This migration originated from Central Asia. The dates given in the options 8000 BC, 6500 BC, and 3500 BC are far too early compared to the accepted timeframe. Therefore, the correct answer is 2500 BC (option D) as it is the closest to the actual period of Aryan migration, although even this is slightly earlier than the most accepted dates. The original question's answer (3500 BC) is incorrect and misleading.
