Description : A passenger train 165 m long which is running at a speed of 30km/hr. In what time will it pass a man who is running at a speed of 3 km/hr in the opposite direction. In which the train is moving. A)14 sec B) 17sec C)16sec D)18sec
Last Answer : ANSWER: D Explanation: Speed of the train = 30 km/hr Speed of man = 3 km/hr Length of the train = 165m If direction is given in opposite direction then we add both speed. That is (30 + 3 )= 33 km/hr ... can easily get the distance of m/s So it cover 165 m i.e., 165 * 6 /55 = 18 sec.
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 boy sitting in a train which is travelling at 25 km/hr observes that a goods train travelling in opposite direction, takes 4.5 seconds to pass him. If the train is 140 m long, find its speed. A) 77km/hr B) 79km/hr C) 87km/hr D) 89km/hr
Last Answer : ANSWER : C Explanation: Relative speed = distance / time = (140 / 4.5) m/s = 31.11 m/s Convert m/s into km/hr 31.11 m/s = (31.11 * 18 / 50 km/hr = (560 / 5) km/hr = ... train (by sitting) = (112 - 25) km/hr = 87 km/hr Therefore the speed of goods train is 87 km/hr.
