Q:

Find the length of a train if it takes 10 seconds to cross a pole and double of this time to cross a platform of length 200 mts ?

A) 180 mts B) 190 mts
C) 200 mts D) 210 mts
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 200 mts

Explanation:

Let the length of the train be 'L' mts

let the speed of the train be 'S' m/s

Given it crosses a pole in 10 sec=> L/S = 10 ......(1)
Given it takes 20 sec (double of pole) to cross a platform of length 200 mts

=> (L + 200)/S = 20

=> L/S + 200/S = 20

But from (1) L/S = 10

=> 200/S = 20 - 10

=> S = 20 m/s

Then, from (1)

=> L = 10 x 20 = 200 mts.

Hence, the length of the train = 200 mts.

Q:

Sum of present ages of P and Q is 41. Age of P 2 year hence is equal to age of R, 1 year ago. Age of P, 4 year hence is equal to age of Q 1 year ago and ratio of present age of P and S is 3 : 4. Find the difference of age of R and S. 

A) 2 B) 3
C) 4 D) 5
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 3

Explanation:

According to the given data,

P + Q = 41 ......(1)

R - 1 = P + 2

R = P + 3

and

P + 4 = Q - 1

=> Q = P + 5 ....(2)

From (1)&(2)

P = 18

Q = 18 + 5 = 23

R = 18 + 3 = 21

=> P/S = 3/4

=> S = 4/3 x 18 = 24

Required Difference = S - R = 24 - 21 = 3.
