Q:

Two goods trains each 520 m long, are running in opposite directions on parallel tracks. Their speeds are 42 km/hr and 36 km/hr respectively. Find the time taken by the slower train to cross the driver of the faster one ?

A) 60 sec	B) 48 sec
C) 45 sec	D) 34 sec

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 48 sec

Explanation:

Relative speed = 42 + 36 = 78 km/hr = $\frac{65}{3}$ m/s

Distance = (520 + 520) =1040 mts.

Time = $1040 \times \frac{3}{65}$ = 48 sec

Q:

Two trains are running at 60 km/hr and 20 km/hr respectively in the same direction. Fast train completely passes a man sitting in the slower train in 6 seconds. What is the length of the fast train ?

$A . 66 \frac{2}{3} m t s$

$B . 66 \frac{3}{2} m t s$

$C . 63 \frac{4}{5} m t s$

$D . 63 \frac{5}{4} m t s$

A) Option A	B) Option B
C) Option C	D) Option D

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Option A

Explanation:

As Trains are moving in same direction,

Relative Speed = 60-20 = 40 kmph

--> $40 \times \frac{5}{18} = \frac{100}{9}$ m/sec

Length of Train= Speed * Time

Length = $\frac{100}{9} \times 6$

$\Rightarrow \frac{200}{3} = 66 \frac{2}{3} m t s$

Q:

Length of train is 170 meters and speed of train is 63 km/hour. This train can pass a bridge in 30 seconds, then find the length of the bridge.

A) 355 mts	B) 325 mts
C) 365 mts	D) 312 mts

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 355 mts

Explanation:

Given speed = 63 km/hr = $63 \times \frac{5}{18} = \frac{35}{2}$ m/s

Let the length of the bridge = x mts

Given time taken to cover the distance of (170 + x)mts is 30 sec.

We know speed = $\frac{d i s \tan c e}{t i m e}$ m/s

$\Rightarrow \frac{35}{2} = \frac{170 + x}{30}$

--> x = 355 mts.

Q:

A train running at the speed of 40 km/hr crosses a signal pole in 9 seconds. Find the length of the train ?

A) 90 mts	B) 150 mts
C) 120 mts	D) 100 mts

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 100 mts

Explanation:

We know that $S p e e d = \frac{d i s \tan c e}{t i m e}$

distance= speed * time

$\Rightarrow$ $d = (40 \times \frac{5}{18}) \times 9$

d= 100 mts.

Q:

Adam and Smith are working on a project. Adam takes 6 hrs to type 36 pages on a computer, while Smith takes 5 hrs to type 40 pages. How much time will they take, working together on two different computers to type a project of 120 pages?

A) 8 hrs 45 min	B) 8 hrs 42 min
C) 8 hrs	D) 8 hrs 34 min

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 8 hrs 34 min

Explanation:

Number of pages typed by Adam in 1 hour = 36/6 = 6
Number of pages typed by Smith in 1 hour = 40/5 = 8
Number of pages typed by both in 1 hour = (6 + 8) = 14
Time taken by both to type 110 pages = (120 * 1/14) = $8 \frac{4}{7}$ = 8 hrs 34 min.
