Two goods trains having equal lengths, take 30 seconds and 45 seconds respectively to cross a telegraph post. If the length of each train is 360 meters, in what time (in seconds) will they cross each other when traveling in opposite direction? A) 36 B) 12 C) 24 D) 48

1 Answer

Answer :

ANSWER:A

 Explanation:

 Speed of train = distance /time

 = 360/30 m/s

 = 12 m/s

 Speed of train 2 = distance /time

 = 360 /45 m/s

 = 8 m/s

 If 2 trains are moving in opposite direction then their speed values are added to find the relative speed.

 Relative speed = 12+8 =20 m/sec

distance covered = 360+360 = 720 m

 Time = distance/speed

 = (720/20)

= 36 Seconds

Hence the required answer is 36 seconds

Last Answer : ANSWER:C Explanation:  Speed of goods train = 165km/hr  length of mail train (P) = 750m  length of goods train (Q) = 700m  Alternately, we can directly use the formula:  Time = ( p+q) / (v1+v2) sec  ( ...  45.833+v2 = 48.333  V2 = 2.5 m/s  Therefore the speed of the mail train is 2.5 m/s

Description : Two metro train 360 meters and 360 meters in length respectively and running in same directions, one at the rate of 116 km and other at the rate of 100 km an hours. What time will they be cross of each other? A) 100 sec B) 162sec C) 132sec D) 126sec

Last Answer : ANSWER: B Explanation:  Length of the 1st metro train = 360m  Length of the 2nd  metro train = 360m  Total length of the both metro train = 360 + 360 = 720 m  speed of the 1st metro train = 116 km/hr ...  Required time = distance / speed  = (720/(40/9))sec  = 720 * 9 /40  = 162sec.

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 : ANSWER: A  Explanation: I) Speed of the train = 120 km/hr  Speed of the boy = 12 km/hr  Relative speed = (120 + 12) km/hr  Convert km/hr into m/s  132 km/hr = (132 * 5/ 18)m/s  = 36.66 m/s  Time = ... km/hr = (108 * 5 / 18)m/s  = 30 sec  Time = distance / speed  = 200 / 30  = 6.66 sec

Description : A train crosses a platform and a scooter standing on the platform in 20 seconds, 12seconds respectively.What is the length of the platform if the speed of the train is 25 km/hr? A) 55.8 m B) 75m C) 124m D) 68.5m 

Last Answer : Answer: A Explanation: Given that, The speed of the train = 25km/hr = 25x 5/18 m/sec = 125/18 m/sec The train crosses a scooter in 12 seconds. Then, Length of the train = 125/18*12= 83.33 Now, ... 18(X +83.3)= 2500 18X=1000.6 X=55.58 m Hence the platform is 55.58 m long.

Description : A train travelling at 36 kmph completely crosses another train having half its length and travelling in the opposite direction at 54 kmph, in 12 seconds. If it also passes a railway platform in 112 minutes, the length ... is : a) 560 metres b) 620 metres c) 700 meres d) 750 metres e) 720 meters

Last Answer : Answer: c)

Description : A train leaves Mumbai for chennai at 6 : 45 a.m. and goes at the rate of 100 km/h. Another train leaves Chennai for Mumbai at 4.30a.m. and goes at the rate of 120 km/h. If the distance between both is 1240 km, at what distance from Mumbai will the two trains meet? A) 210km B) 324km C) 115km D) 440km

Last Answer : ANSWER: D  Explanation:  Given speed of the first train = 100kmph  speed of the second train = 120kmph  The second train leaving Chennai starts its journey earlier and it travels = 120 *(6.45a.m. ... train covers 4.40 *100 = 440 km  Therefore the first train meet to the second train at 440km

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 rajdhani express of 400m runs at a speed of 124 km/hr and a person runs on the platform at a speed of 40km/hr in the direction opposite to that of the train. Find the time taken by the train to cross the running person? A) 7 sec B) 8.78sec C) 7.78sec D) 8 sec

Last Answer : ANSWER : B Explanation:  Length of the train = 400m  Speed of train = 124 km/hr  Speed of person = 40 km/hr  Relative speed (speed of trai relative to man) = (124 + 40) km/hr  = 164 km/hr [As the ... train to cover 400m at a relative of 45.55 m/s  = 400 / 45.55  = 8.78 sec.

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.

Description : Two trains of equal length are running on parallel lines in the same direction at 46 km/hr and 36 km/hr. The faster train passes the slower train in 36 seconds. The length of each train is: A.40 m B.55 m C.65 m D.50 m E.None of these

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 : Find the time taken by mailtrain 200m long running at a speed of 120 km/hr to cross another train of length 160m running at a speed of 96km/hr in the same direction. A) 34sec B) 52sec C) 45sec D) 54sec

Last Answer : ANSWER: D  Explanation:  Total distance covered to cross each other = 200 + 160  = 360m  If the direction is given in the same direction then we subtract  Relative speed of two trains (same direction) = ... * 3 / 20  = 54sec  Time taken by the faster train to cross the slower train is 54sec.

Description : Two schoolgirls were traveling from the city to a dacha (summer cottage) on an electric train.'I notice,' one of the girls said 'that the dacha trains coming in the opposite direction pass us every 5 ... because 60 divided by 5 equals 12.'The first girl did not agree. What do you think? -Riddles

Last Answer : If the girls had been on a standing train, the first girl's calculations would have been correct, but their train was moving. It took 5 minutes to meet a second train, but then it took the second train ... the time between trains is 10 minutes, not 5, and only 6 trains per hour arrive in the city.

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 Superfast train overtakes two persons walking along a railway track. The first one walks at 9 km/hr. The other one walks at 10.8 km/hr. The train needs 16.8and 17seconds respectively to overtake them. ... are walking in the same direction as the train? A) 250 kmph B) 487kmph C) 162kmph D) 312kmph

Last Answer : ANSWER:C Explanation:  Given that the first one walks at 9 km/hr convert the speed in the unit of m/sec  9 km/hr = (9*5/18) m/s  = 5/2 m/s  = 2.5 m/s  Another one walks at 10.8 km/hr ... the speed in the unit of km/hr  Speed of the train = (45*18/5)kmph  Speed of the train = 162 km/ hr

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.
