Description : A train 125 m long passes a man, running at 5 kmph in the same direction in which the train is going, in 10 seconds. The speed of the train is: A.35 km/hr B.50 km/hr C.48 km/hr D.55 km/hr E.None of these

Last Answer : Answer – B (50 km/hr) Explanation – Let speed be S Relative speed = total lengths/time [ in this case man length is neglible compare to train so neglected] (S – 5) x 5/18 = 125 /10 S- 5 = (125/10)x(18/5) S-5 = 45 S=50 km/hr

Description : Two stations X and Y are 170 km apart on a straight line. One train starts from X at 6 a.m. and travels towards Y at 25 kmph. Another train starts from Y at 8 a.m. and travels towards X at a speed of 35 kmph. At what time will they meet? a) 11. 30 a.m b) 10.30 a.m c) 11 a.m d) 9 a.m e) 10 am

Last Answer : e Suppose they meet z hours after 6 a.m. Distance covered by X in z hours = 25× z km. Distance covered by Y in (z - 2) hours = 35(z - 2) km. Therefore 25z + 35(z- 2) = 170 60z = 240 x = 4. So, they meet at 10 a.m.

Last Answer : ?=331/30 + 661/60 + 704/11 – 35.013 + 36.026 =11 + 11 + 64 -1.013 =86-1 ≈ 85 Answer: e)

Description : The distance between two cities A and B is 330km. A train starts from A at 8 (a)m. and travels towards B at 60 km/hr. Another train starts from B at 9 (a)m. and travels towards A at 75 km/hr. At what time do they meet? a) 10 am. b) 10 : 30 am. c) 11 am. d) 11 : 30 am. e) None of these

Last Answer : Distance travelled by first train in one hour = 60 x 1 = 60 km Therefore, distance between two train at 9 a.m. = 330 – 60 = 270 km Now, Relative speed of two trains = 60 + 75 = 135 km/hr Time of meeting of two trains =270/135=2 hrs. Therefore, both the trains will meet at 9 + 2 = 11 A.M. Answer: c)

Description : A train overtakes two persons walking along a railway track. The first one walks at 4.5 km/hr. The other one walks at 5.4 km/hr. The train needs 8.4 and 8.5 seconds respectively to overtake them. What is the speed ... as the train? A.59 km/hr B.65 km/hr C.70 km/hr D.81 km/hr E. None of these

Last Answer : Answer-D (81 km/hr) Explanation4.5 km/hr =(4.5 x 5/18)m/sec =5m/4sec = 1.25 m/sec, and 5.4 km/hr =(5.4 x 5/18)m/sec =3m/2sec = 1.5 m/sec. Let the speed of the train be x m/sec. Then, (x - 1.25) ... - 12.75 => 0.1x = 2.25 => x = 22.5 Therefore Speed of the train =(22.5 x18 /5)km/hr = 81 km/hr.
