Q 1 - A train 210 m long is travelling with a speed of 63 kmph. How long will it take to pass a signal post?
Answer : A
Explanation
speed =(63*5/18)m/sec =35/2 m/sec Required time =(210*2/35) sec. =12 sec.
Q 2 - A train 100 m long crosses a bridge of length 100 m in 6 sec. The train will cross another bridge of length 200 m in:
Answer : B
Explanation
Time taken to cover (100+100)m= 6 sec Speed of the train = 200/6 m/sec. Time taken to cover (100+200)m = (300*6/200) sec =9 sec.
Q 3 - A train crosses a pole in 15 sec. while it crosses a 100m long platform in 25 sec. The length of the train is
Answer : C
Explanation
Let the length of the train be x metres. Then, x/15 =(100+x)/25 ⇒ 25x=1500+15x ⇒ 10x = 1500 ⇒ x = 150 Hence, the length of the train is 150 m.
Q 4 - A train passes two persons two persons walking in the same direction in which the train is going. These persons are walking at the rate of 3km/hr and 5km/hr and the train passes them completely in 10sec. and 11 sec. respectively. The speed of the train is
Answer : B
Explanation
Let the length of the train be x km and its speed be y km/hr. Speed of the train relative to first man =(y-3)km/hr Speed of the train relative to second man = (y-5)km/hr x/ (y-3) = 10/(60*60) and x/ (y-5) = 11/(60*60) ⇒ y-3 =360x and 11y-55 =3600x ⇒ 10y-30= 3600x and 11y-55 = 3600x ⇒ 10y -30 = 3600x and 11y -55 = 3600x ⇒ 10y-30 =11y-55 ⇒ y= 25 ∴ speed of the train = 25km/hr.
Q 5 - Two trains running in the same direction at 40 km/hr and 22 km/hr completely pass one another in 1 minute. If the length of the first train is 125 m, the length of the second train is
Answer : C
Explanation
Relative speed = (40-22)k/hr = 18km/hr =(18*5/18)m/sec.=5m/sec. Let the length of the second train be x meters. then, (125+x)/5= 60 ⇒ 125+x=300 ⇒ x =175m
Q 6 - Two train travel in opposite direction at 36 kmph and 45kmph. A man sitting in a slower train passes the faster train in 8 sec. The length of the faster train is
Answer : D
Explanation
Relative speed =(36+45)km/hr =(81*5/18)m/sec. =45/2m/sec. Length of the train = distance covered in 8 sec. at 45/2m sec. = (45/2*8)= 180 m
Q 7 - Two trains , one from station A to station B and the other from B to A start simultaneously . After meeting , the trains reach their destinations after 9 hours and 16 hours respectively. The ratio of their speeds is
Answer : B
Explanation
(A's speed) : (b's speed ) = √b:√a= √16:√9 = 4:3
