4 pm. The two trains pass each other at station Z, where the a)324 b)322 c)323 d)320
distance between X and Z is three-fifths of that between X
and Y. How many hours does train T take for its journey from
X to Y?
a)10hr b)12hr c)15hr d)18hr

Q64. Car A start from X towards Y at 11:00 while Car B starts

from Y at 1:08 pm they cross each other at 2.20 pm and Q67. Train A travelling at 63 kmph can cross a platform 199.5
m long in 21 seconds. How much time would train A take to
completely cross (from the moment they meet), train B, 222
m long and travelling at 54 kmph in opposite direction in
which train A is travelling?
a)16 seconds b)18 seconds c)12 seconds d)14 seconds

Q68. The ratio of speeds of a goods and passenger train is

9:14 in same direction. If the passenger train crosses the
goods train in 1 minute 25 sec while a passenger in
passenger train observes that he crosses the goods train in
35 sec. If the sum of lengths goods and passenger train is
1326 metres then find difference between their length?
a)260 metres b)208 metres c)314 metres d) 234 metres

Q69. A passenger train and a goods train are running in the

same direction on parallel railway tracks. If the passenger
train now takes four times as long to pass the goods train, as
when they are running in opposite directions, then what is
the ratio of the speed of the passenger train to that of the
goods train? (Assume that the trains run at uniform speeds)
(a) 2 : 1 (b) 3 : 2 (c) 5 : 3 (d) 4 : 1
