1.A train running at the speed of 60 km/hr crosses a pole in 9 seconds. What is the length of the train? A.

120 metres B. 180 metres C. 324 metres D.150 metres


D

Answer & Explanation Answer: Option D Explanation: Speed= 60 x 5 50 = 18 m/sec 3 m/sec.

50 x9 3 m = 150 m. View Answer Workspace Report Discuss in Forum Length of the train = (Speed x Time) = 2.A train 125 m long passes a man, running at 5 km/hr in the same direction in which the train is going, in 10 seconds. The speed of the train is: A.45 km/hr B. 50 km/hr C. 54 km/hr D.55 km/hr
B

Answer & Explanation Answer: Option B Explanation: Speed of the train relative to man = 25 2 m/sec. 25 18 = x 2 5 km/hr = = 45 km/hr. Let the speed of the train be x km/hr. Then, relative speed = (x - 5) km/hr. x - 5 = 45 x = 50 km/hr. 125 10 m/sec

30 seconds, is: A.
200 m

B. 225 m D.250 m

C. 245 m
C

Answer & Explanation Answer: Option C Explanation: Speed = 45 x 5 25 = 18 m/sec 2 m/sec.

Time = 30 sec. Let the length of bridge be x metres. Then, 130 + x 25 = 30 2

2(130 + x) = 750 x = 245 m.

The ratio of their speeds is: A.1 : 3 B. 3 : 2 C. 3 : 4 D.None of these
B

Answer & Explanation Answer: Option B Explanation: Let the speeds of the two trains be x m/sec and y m/sec respectively. Then, length of the first train = 27x metres, and length of the second train = 17y metres.

27x + 17y = 23 x+ y 27x + 17y = 23x + 23y 4x = 6y x 3 = . y 2 View Answer Workspace Report Discuss in Forum 5.A train passes a station platform in 36 seconds and a man standing on the platform in 20 seconds. If the speed of the train is 54 km/hr, what is the length of the platform? A.120 m B. 240 m C. 300 m D.None of these
B

Answer & Explanation Answer: Option B Explanation: Speed = 54 x 5 18 m/sec = 15 m/sec.

Length of the train = (15 x 20)m = 300 m. Let the length of the platform be x metres. Then, x + 300 = 15 36

x + 300 = 540 x = 240 m. View Answer Workspace Report Discuss in Forum
