Two train travel in opposite directions at 36 kmph and 45 kmph and a man sitting in slower train passes the faster train in 8 seconds. Then length of the faster train is: A.120 m B.140 m C.160 m D.180 m E.None of these

1 Answer

Answer :

Answer – D (180 m)

Explanation – When OPP. direction-PLUS

Relative speed = (36 + 45) km/hr

= [81 x 5/18] m/sec = [45/2] m/sec.

Length of train = [45/2 x 8] m = 180 m.

Description : Two trains are running in opposite directions with the same speed. If the length of each train is 120 metres and they cross each other in 12 seconds, then the speed of each train (in km/hr) is: A.12 kmph B.24 kmph C.36 kmph D.48 kmph E.None of these

Last Answer : Answer – C (36 kmph) Explanation – Let the speed of each train be x m/sec. Then, relative speed of the two trains = 2x m/sec. So, 2x = (120 + 120)/12 ⇔ 2x = 20 ⇔ x = 10. ∴ Speed of each train = 10 m/sec = [10 x 18/5] km/hr = 36 km/hr

Last Answer : C speed=2V1V2/(V1-V2) = 2*5*4/(5-4) =40 km/hr Distance= vt1 (1+v/v1) =40* 55/60(1+40/5) =40*11/12(1+8) =40*11/12*9 =330 km Therefore the distance is 330km

Description : Shreya travel the first part of her journey at 160 kmph and the second part at 240 kmph and cover the total distance of 3840 km to her destination in 20 hours. How long did the first part of her journey last? a) 8 hrs b) 12 hrs c) 16 hrs d) 10 hrs

Last Answer : B The total time of journey = 20 hours. Let 'x' hours be the time that shreya travelled at 160 kmph Therefore, 20-x hours would be time that she travelled at 240 kmph. Hence, she would have covered x*160+( ... 20-x)*240 =3840 160x +4800-240x =3840 240x-160x=4800-3840 80x= 960 X=960/80=12 hrs

Last Answer : Answer – C (552 kms) Explanation – Total distance travelled in 12 hours = (35 + 37 + 39 + …… upto 12 terms) This is an A.P. with first term, a = 35, number of terms, n = 12, common difference, d =2. Required distance =12/2 (2 x 35 + (12 – 1) x 2) = 6(70 + 22) = 552 kms

Description : Two trains, both 50m long, moving in opposite directions cross each other in 4 seconds. If one is moving thrice as fast the other, then the speed of the faster train is. A) 45km/hr B) 19 km/hr C) 95 km/hr D) 67.5 km/hr

Last Answer : ANSWER:D Explanation:  Let the speed of the slower train be x' m/sec  The speed of the sfaster train = 3x m/s  Relative speed = (x +3x)m/sec  = 4x m/sec  50 + 50 / 4 = 4x  100 / 4 = 4x  100 = 16x  x = 100 ... the faster train = 3 * 25 / 4  = 75 / 4 m/s = (75/4 *18 /5)km/hr  = 67.5 km/hr

Description : Senthil started bike at 5 a.m to reach a temple. After going temple, his bike went out of order. Consequently he rested for 45 mins and came back to his house walking all the way. Senthil reached home at 8 a.m. if bike ... /hr, then on bike he covered a distance of. a) 3.12 b) 2.76 c) 4.13 d) 2.14

Last Answer : D Time taken = 2 hr 15 mins = 2 ¼ hrs Time = 9/4 hrs Let the required distance be x km Then x/20 + x/1 = 9/4 (X+20x) / 20 = 9/4 21x / 20 = 9/4 84x = 180 X= 2.14 km Therefore the required diatance is 2.14 km

Description : Three trains are running from a place A to another place B. Their speeds are in the ratio of 4 : 3 : 5. The time ratio to reach B by trains will be A. 4 : 3 : 5 B. 5 : 3 : 4 C. 15 : 9 : 20 D. 15 : 20 : 12

Last Answer : Answer: D(15 : 20 : 12) Explanation: Ratio of speeds = 4 : 3 : 5 Therefore Ratio of times taken [t=d/s or t indirectly proportional to s when distance is same]= (1/4) : (1/3) : (1/5) = 15 : 20 : 12

Description : Nithish bought two purses which together cost him Rs.440. He sold one of the purse at a loss of 20% and the other one at a gain of 40%. The selling price of both purse are same. Then find out the cost price of both ... Rs.140 and Rs.300 c) Rs.170 and Rs.270 d) Rs.160 and Rs.280 e) None of the Above

Last Answer : 80/100 * x = 140/100 * y x = 7/4y x + y = 440 7/4 y + y = 440 y = 160 ; x = 280 Answer: d)

Description : Anitha travels 400 km by bus at 70 km/hr, 600 km by train at 80km/hr, 250 km by bike at 60 km/hr and 50 kn by car at 40 km/hr. what is the average speed for the total distance? a) 68.45 b) 69.45 c) 67.45 d) 69.77

Last Answer : D Total distance = (400+250+50+600)km =1300 km Total time taken = (400/70 + 600/80+250/60+50/40) hrs =(40/7 +60/8+25/6+5/4) =(24*40)+(21*60)+(28*25)+(42*5) / 168 =960+1260+700+210 / 168 =(3130 / 168) Average speed =(1300*168 / 3130) km/hr =218400/3130 =69.77 km/hr

Description : The subcritical steam generators operate between a pressure ranges of? (rra) 120-160 bar (rrb) 100-110 bar ( c) 130-180 bar (rrd) 140- 200 bar

Last Answer : ( c) 130-180 bar

Description : A bus can travel 25% faster than a van. Both start from a certain shop at the same time and reach poin P, 37.5 kms away from the shop at the same time time. On the way, however, the bus lost about 6.25 mins while shopping at the some such places. The speed of the van is. a) 72 b) 73 c) 74 d) 75 

Last Answer : A Let speed of the car be x kmph The speed of the train = 125x/100 =5x/4 km/hr Therefore 37.5 / x – 37.5 /(5x/4) = 6.25 /60 37.5 / x – (37.5*4)/5x = 6.25 / 60 37.5 / x – 150 / 5x = 6.25 / 60 37.5 / x – 30/x = 6.25 / 60 7.5 / x = 6.25 / 60 6.25x = 7.5*60 X=72 km/hr

Description : A bus can travel 25% faster than a jeep. Both start from point P at the same time and reach point Q, 225 kms away from P, at the same time. On the way, however, the bus lost about 37.5 minutes while stopping at the ... is the speed of the jeep? a) 64 km/hr b) 72 km/hr c) 68 km/hr d) 56 km/hr

Last Answer : B Let speed of the jeep =x kmph Then, speed of the bus =(100+25)x/100 =125x/100 =5x/4 kmph Time taken by the jeep to travel from P to Q =225/x hours Time taken by the bus to travel from p to Q =225/(5x/4) + ... 225/x=900/5x+37.5/60 225/x=180/x+37.5/60 45/x =37.5/60 37.5x=45*60 X=72 km/hr
