Q:

A train 110 metres long is running with a speed of 60 kmph. In what time will it pass a man who is running at 6 kmph in the direction opposite to that in which the train is going?

A) 5 B) 6
C) 7 D) 10
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 6

Explanation:

Speed of train relative to man = (60 + 6) km/hr = 66 km/hr.

[66*(5/18)] m/sec = (55/3) m/sec

Time taken to pass the man = [110*(3/55)]m/sec = 6 sec.

Q:

A goods train runs at the speed of 72 kmph and crosses a 250 m long platform in 26 seconds. What is the length of the goods train?

A) 230 m B) 240 m
C) 260 m D) 270 m
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 270 m

Explanation:

Speed =[ 72 x (5/18) ]m/sec= 20 m/sec.

Time = 26 sec.

Let the length of the train be x metres.

Then,[ (x+250)/26 ]= 20

=> x + 250 = 520

=> x = 270.

Q:

Two trains 140 m and 160 m long run at the speed of 60 km/hr and 40 km/hr respectively in opposite directions on parallel tracks. The time (in seconds) which they take to cross each other, is:

A) 9 B) 9.6
C) 10 D) 10.8
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 10.8

Explanation:

Relative speed = (60 + 40) km/hr =[ 100 x ( 5 / 18 ) ]m/sec = ( 250 /9 ) m/sec.
Distance covered in crossing each other = (140 + 160) m = 300 m.
Required time = [ 300 x ( 9/250 ) ] sec = ( 54/ 5 )sec = 10.8 sec.

Q:

A train speeds past a pole in 15 seconds and a platform 100 m long in 25 seconds. Its length is:

A) 50 m B) 150 m
C) 200 m D) data inadequate
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 150 m

Explanation:

Let the length of the train be x metres and its speed be y m/sec.
Then, (x/y)= 15   y =(x/15)

 

(x+100)/25 = x/15

 

=> 15(x + 100) = 25x

 

=> 15x + 1500 = 25x

 

=> 1500 = 10x

 

=> x = 150 m.

Q:

A train moves past a telegraph post and a bridge 264 m long in 8 seconds and 20 seconds respectively. What is the speed of the train ?

A) 69.5 km/hr B) 70 km/hr
C) 79 km/hr D) 79.2 km/hr
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 79.2 km/hr

Explanation:

Let the length of the train be x metres and its speed by y m/sec.


Then, x/y = 8 => x = 8y


Now, (x+264)/20 = y
8y + 264 = 20y
y = 22.
Speed = 22 m/sec = (22*18/5) km/hr = 79.2 km/hr.

Q:

A 270 metres long train running at the speed of 120 kmph crosses another train running in opposite direction at the speed of 80 kmph in 9 seconds. What is the length of the other train ?

A) 230 m B) 240 m
C) 260 m D) 320 m
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 230 m

Explanation:

Relative speed = (120 + 80) km/hr


=(200*5/18)m/s = (500/9)m/s

 

Let the length of the other train be x metres.

 

Then, x+270/9 = 500/9 

 

=>  x + 270 = 500

 

=>  x = 230.
