A passenger train travelling at 96 kmph completely crosses another train having half its length and travelling in opposite direction at 84 kmph, in 24 seconds. It also passes a railway platform in 90 seconds. The length of the platform is A) 1250 m B) 2258m C) 1600 m D) 3725m

1 Answer

Answer :

 ANSWER:C

 Explanation:

 Let the length of the first train be x metres

 Then, is x /2metres

 Relative speed = (96+84)kmph

 = 180 kmph

 Convert km/hr into m/s,

 = 180*5/18

 = 50 m/s

 Therefore (x+x/2)/50 = 24

 x+x/2 =1200

 3x/2= 1200

 3x = 2400

 x = 800

 Length of first train = 800 m.

Let the length of platform be y metres.

Speed of the first train = 96*5/18 =480/18 m/s

 Therefore (800+y)/(450+18) = 90

 (800+y) = 90*480/18

 y = 2400- 800

 = 1600

 Hence, the length of the platform is 1600 m

Last Answer : ANSWER:B Explanation:  Let the speed of the 1st train be x' m/sec and  the speed of the 2nd train be y' m/sec  then the length of the 1st train = 54 x metres  length of the 2nd train = 34 y metres  54x + 34y / x+ y ...  54x - 46x = 46y - 34y  8x = 12y  x/y = 12 / 8 = 6/4 = 3/2  x:y = 3:2

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 : A and B are two trains 150m and 100m long are running on parallel rails at the rate of 30 kmph and 40 kmph respectively.In how much time will they cross each other if they are running in the same direction. A) 80 sec B) 90sec C) 105sec D) 45sec

Last Answer : ANSWER: B Explanation:  Length of first train=150m  Length of second train=100m  Speed of first train =30kmph  Speed of second train =40kmph  If the direction is given in the same direction then we subtract ... +100)m  =250m  Time = distance/speed  Time taken =(250*9/25)sec  =90 sec.

Description : A goods train 110m long is running with the speed of 30 km/hr. in what time will it pass a boy who is running at 3.5 km/hr in the direction opposite to that in which the train is going. A) 9 sec B) 10sec C) 12sec D) 13sec

Last Answer : ANSWER : C Explanation:  Length of the train = 110 m  Speed of the train = 30 km/hr  Speed of the boy = 3.5 km/hr  Speed of the train relative to man = (30 + 3.5) km/hr  = 33.5 km/hr  Convert km/ ... cover 110 m at 9.30 m/s  = 110 / 9.30  = 11.8 seconds  = 12 sec(approx.).

Description : A train 135m long is moving at a speed of 12.5 km/h. It will cross a girl coming from the opposite direction at a speed of 1km/hr in. A) 36sec B) 46sec C) 56sec D) 66sec

Last Answer : ANSWER : A Explanation:  Speed of the train = 12.5 km/hr  Speed of girl = 1 km/hr Relative speed = speed of train + speed of girl = (12.5 + 1) km/hr = 13.5 km/hr Convert km/hr into m/s 13.5 ... .75 m/s Time = distance / speed Time taken by the train to pass the man = 135 / 3.75  = 36 sec.

Description : Two trains are running at 40 km/hr and 20 km/hr respectively in the same direction. Fast train completely passes a man sitting in the slower train in 5 seconds. What is the length of the fast train? A.27 7/9 m B.28 m C.29 m D.30 2/7 m E.None of these 

Last Answer : Answer – A (27 7/9 m) Explanation – When SAME direction- MINUS Relative speed = (40-20) km/hr = [20 x 5/18] m/sec = [50/9] m/sec. Length of faster train = sxt=[50/9 x 5] m = 250/9 m = 27 7/9 m.

Description : A 300 metre long train crosses a platform in 39 seconds while it crosses a signal pole in 18 seconds. What is the length of the platform? A.310 m B.350 m C.600 m D.490 m E.None of these

Last Answer : Answer - B (350 m) Explanation - when it cross a pole actually it is crossing itself so, S = 300/18 let length of platform be p relative speed = total lengths/time speed of ... pole,man and other is of considerable length like platform ,bridge. when train crosses pole,man it crosses itself

Description : A 250 m goods train takes 50 s to cross a person who is going in the same direction with the speed of 8 km/h. After crossing that person, the train can reach next station in 2 hr. How long that person takes to reach that station after being crossed by them? A) 2 ½ hr B) 5hr C) 3 1/2hr D) 1hr

Last Answer : ANSWER:A Explanation:  Speed of the person = 8 kmph  = (8*5/18)m/s  = 20/9 m/s  Then relative speed of train = (x-20/9)m/s  As train takes 50 sec to cross the person  Therefore 50 =250/(x-20/ ... 20,000 m  = 20 km Thus time taken by the person to cover the distance of 20km= 20/8 hr=2 ½ hr

Description : The distance between two stations ooty and chennai is 615km. A train with speed of 75 km/h leaves ooty at 8:00 am towards chennai. Another train with speed of 105 km/h leaves Chennai at 9 : 00 am towards ooty . Then, at what time both trains meet? A) 6 B) 12 C) 18 D) 24

Last Answer : ANSWER:B  Explanation:  First train leaves at 8.00am and second leaves at 9.00am  So,first train that is , from ooty to Chennai has covered  75 km distance in 1 hr.  So , distance left by between the station = ... the trains will meet , 3 hr after second train left  i.e., 9.00 am +3 = 12.00 pm

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

Description : A train, 1800 meters long running at the rate of 204 km/hr will cross a platform in: A) 16 B) 32 C) 45 D) 64 

Last Answer : ANSWER: B  Explanation: Speed of the train = 204 km/hr. We have to find the time in seconds, so convert the speed in the unit of m/sec. Therefore 204 km/hr = 204 x 5/18 m/s  = 1020/18 m/s  Length ... m/sec  Time = distance/speed  = 1800/(1020/18)sec  = (1800*18/1020)sec  = 32 sec (approx.)

Description : X and y are two trains of length 500m and 400m run on parallel lines. When they run in the same direction it will take 60 sec to cross each other. When they run in opposite direction, it will take 20 sec to cross each ... ) A) 116 and 42 km/hr B) 54 and 78km/hr C) 104 and 60km/hr D) 108 and 54km/hr

Last Answer :  ANSWER : D Explanation:  Let the speed of 2 trains be a1 and a2  Total distance covered to cross each other = (500 + 400)m  = 900m  When they run in the same direction,  Relative speed = a1 - a2  = 900 /60 ... hr  a 2= (15 * 18 / 5)m/s  = 54km/hr  Speed of two trains are 108 and 54 km/hr

Description : If a Rajdhani train running at the speed of 25 m/s and covers 0.8 km long chunk in 6 minutes, then the length of the train is: A) 8.2 B) 6.7 C) 7.5 D) 9.3

Last Answer : ANSWER:A Explanation:  Speed of the train = 25 m/s.  Length of the chunk = 0.8 km  = 800 meters Time taken to cross the chunk = 6 minutes  = (6*60) seconds  = 360 seconds  Let the length of the train be y ... +y = 9000  y = 8200 m  i.e., y = 8.2 km  Hence the length of the train is 8.2 km
