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.

Description : There are two points on a highway a,b. They are 70 km apart. An auto starts from A and another auto starts from B simultaneously. If they travel in the same direction, they meet in 7 hours, but if they travel towards each other they meet in 1 hour. Find how fast the two autos are -Maths 10th

Last Answer : When they travel in same direction, suppose they meet when B travels for x m, then A will have travelled 70+x m in the same time Since, Speed =TimeDistance Speed of auto at A =7x+70 And Speed of auto at B =7x ... So, Speed of auto at A =7x+70 =7280 =40km/hr Speed of auto at B =7x =7210 =30km/hr

Last Answer : Answer- D (50) Explanation – Relative speed= total lengths/time (46-36) x 5/18 = [L + L ] / 36 10 x (5/18) x36 x (1/2)= L L=50 m

Description : Two trains are running at 120 km/hr and 60km/hr respectively in the same direction. Fast train completely passes a boy sitting in the slower train in 15 seconds. What is the length of the fast train? A) 150m B) 550 m C) 250m D) 215m 

Last Answer :  ANSWER: C  Explanation:  Speed of the 1st train = 120km/hr  Speed of the 2nd train = 60km/hr If the direction is given in the same direction then we subtract the relative speed.  Relative speed = (120 - 60) ... / 3 * 15)m  =(750/3)m  = 250m  Therefore the length of the faster train is 250m

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 :  Let p and q be two trains 65m and 70m long are running on parallel tracks in the same direction with a speed of 34km/hr and 25 km/hr. how long will it take to clear off each other from the moment they met? A) 54sec B) 56sec C) 45sec D) None of these

Last Answer : ANSWER : A  Explanation :  Speed of the train p = 34km/hr  Speed of the train q = 25 km/hr  If the direction is given in the same direction then we subtract  So relative speed of trains = (34 - 25)km/hr  = 9 km ... 65 + 70)m  = 135m  Therefore time = (135 / (5/2))sec  = 270/5 sec  =54 sec.
