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 : 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 : Two trains A and B are moving in opposite directions at 180 km/hr and 270 km/hr. their lengths are 3.30 km and 2.7 km respectively. The time taken by the slower train to cross the faster train in second is. A) 48sec B) 13 sec C) 38sec D) 24sec
Last Answer : ANSWER: A Explanation: Speed of 1st train = 180 km/hr Speed of 2nd train = 270 km/hr Relative speed = (180 + 270)km/hr = 450 km/hr = (450 * 5 / 180)m/s = (2250 / 18)m/s =125 m/s Distance covered = (3.30 + 2.70)km = 6km = 6000m Required time = 6000 / 125 = 48sec
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 : Two trains are moving in opposite directions at 60 km/hr and 90 km/hr. Their lengths are 1.10 km and 0.9 km respectively. The time taken by the slower train to cross the faster train in seconds is: A.58 sec B.50 sec C.48 sec D.56 sec E.None of these
Last Answer : Answer – C (48 sec) Explanation – Relative speed = all lengths/time [60+90] = [1.10 +0.9 ]/time [ PLUS when opposite direction] time=2/150 = 1/75 h 1 hour______3600 sec 1/75 hr______? ?= 3600/75=48 sec

Last Answer : Answer - C (3 : 2) Explanation - Let the speeds of the two trains be x m/sec and y m/sec respectively. Then, length of the first train = 27x metres, and length of the second train = 17y metres. relative speed = total ... 23x + 23y = 27x + 17 y 27x-23x= 23 y-17y 4x=6y x/y=6/4=3/2= 3:2
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 : 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 : Two trains of equal lengths take 10 seconds and 15 seconds respectively to cross a telegraph post. If the length of each train be 120 metres, in what time (in seconds) will they cross each other travelling in opposite direction? A.12 sec B.18 sec C.14 sec D.25 sec E.None of these
Last Answer : Answer – A (12 sec) Explanation – Speed of the first train = [120 / 10] m/sec = 12 m/sec. Speed of the second train = [120 / 15] m/sec = 8 m/sec. Relative speed = (12 + 8) = m/sec = 20 m/sec. ∴ Required time = (120 + 120) / 20 secc = 12 sec
Description : A train M speeding with 60km/hr crooses another train N, running in the same direction in 1 min. If the lengths of the trains M and N be 50m and 100m respectively. What is the speed of train N? A) 15 km/hr B) 61km/hr C) 51km/hr D) 50k/hr
Last Answer : ANSWER: C Explanation: Let the speed of be train N be ‘x’km/hr Speed of M relative to N = (60 – x)km/hr = (60-x) * 5/18]m/s = (300 – 5x / 18)m/s 150 / (300 – 5x / 18) =60 2700/300-5x=60 2700=18000-300x 300x=15300 x= 153/3 x=51km/hr Therefore the speed of the train is 51 km/hr

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 : 2 bus start from A & B respectively and travel towards each other at a speed of 150 km/hr and 120 km/hr respectively. By the time they meet, the first bus has travelled by 300km more than the second. The distance between A & B is a) 2700 b) 2800 c) 2750 d) 2457
Last Answer : A At the time of meeting, Let the distance travelled by the second bus be xkm Then distance covered by the 1st bus is (x+300)km x/120= (x+300) /150 150x = 120(x+300) 150x = 120x +36000 30x = ... X=36000/30 X=1200 So the distance covered between A & B =(x+x+300) =(1200+1200+300) =2700km.

Description : A person runs on the platform of 90 m at a speed of 5km/hr in the same direction of the passenger train. Find the time taken by the train to cross the running person if speed of the train is 35.5 km/hr? (Length of train = Length of platform) A) 5.32sec B) 7.5sec C) 12.6sec D) 10.62sec
Last Answer : ANSWER:D Explanation: speed of the train = 35.5 km/hr speed of the person = 5 km/hr As the train and the running person move in same direction, their speed values are subtracted to find the relative ... =10.62 sec Hence, the time taken by the train to cross the running person is 10.62 sec
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
