Q:

The distance between two cities A and B is 330 Km. A train starts from A at 8 a.m. and travel towards B at 60 km/hr. Another train starts from B at 9 a.m and travels towards A at 75 Km/hr. At what time do they meet?

A) 10 a.m B) 10.30 a.m
C) 11 a.m D) 11.30 a.m
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 11 a.m

Explanation:

Suppose they meet x hrs after 8 a.m

then,

[Distance moved by first in x hrs] + [Distance moved by second in (x-1) hrs] = 330.

Therefore, 60x + 75(x-1) = 330.

 => x=3.

So,they meet at (8+3) i.e, 11a.m.

Q:

A train overtakes two girls who are walking in the  opposite direction in which the train  is going at the rate of 3 km/h and 6km/h and passes them completely in 36 seconds and 30 seconds respectively. The length of the train is:

A) 120m B) 150m
C) 125m D) None of these
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 150m

Explanation:

Let the length of the train e x meter, and let the speed of train be y km/h, then

x=y+3×518×36   --------(1)   and   

x=y+6×518×30  ---------(2)

  

From eq (1) and (2), we get      

y = 12 km/h

Therefore,  x=(y+3)×518×36   =>  x= 150 m
