Mr. Grumper grumbles about bad time-keeping trains like everybody else. On one particular morning he was justified, though. The train left on time for the one hour journey and it arrived 5 minutes late. However, Mr. Grumper's watch showed it to be 3 minutes early, so he adjusted his watch by putting it forward 3 minutes. His watch kept time during the day, and on the return journey in the evening the train started on time, according to his watch, and arrived on time, according to the station clock. If the train traveled 25 percent faster on the return journey than it did on the morning journey, was the station clock fast or slow, and by how much? -Riddles

Description : Two trains, both 50m long, moving in opposite directions cross each other in 4 seconds. If one is moving thrice as fast the other, then the speed of the faster train is. A) 45km/hr B) 19 km/hr C) 95 km/hr D) 67.5 km/hr

Last Answer : ANSWER:D Explanation:  Let the speed of the slower train be x' m/sec  The speed of the sfaster train = 3x m/s  Relative speed = (x +3x)m/sec  = 4x m/sec  50 + 50 / 4 = 4x  100 / 4 = 4x  100 = 16x  x = 100 ... the faster train = 3 * 25 / 4  = 75 / 4 m/s = (75/4 *18 /5)km/hr  = 67.5 km/hr

Description : Two passenger trains are running in the same direction on parallel tracks at 210km/hr and 150km/hr respectively. The faster train passes a man 81 sec faster than the slower train. Find the length of the faster train. A) 1250m B) 1150m C) 1350m D) 1450m

Last Answer : ANSWER: C  Explanation:  Speed of 1st train = 210km/hr  Speed of 2nd train = 150km/hr  Here the two passenger trains are running in same direction, so  Relative speed = (210 - 150)km/hr  = 60km ... faster train = relative speed * time taken by train to pass  = 50/3 * 81  = 1350m

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

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

Distance between two stations P & Q is 1556km. A passenger train covers the journey from P to Q at 168km per hr and return back to P with a uniform speed of 112km/hr. Find the Average speed of the train during the whole journey? A) 124.4 km/hr B) 130.4km/hr C) 134.4 km/hr D) 130.0 km/hr

Description : Distance between two stations P & Q is 1556km. A passenger train covers the journey from P to Q at 168km per hr and return back to P with a uniform speed of 112km/hr. Find the Average speed of the train during the whole journey? A) 124.4 km/hr B) 130.4km/hr C) 134.4 km/hr D) 130.0 km/hr

Last Answer : C) Given x= 168 , y = 112 Required average speed = (2xy / x + y) km/hr = 2 * 168 *112 / 168 + 112 = 37632 / 280 =134.4 km/hr

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

A bus can travel 25% faster than a jeep. Both start from point P at the same time and reach point Q, 225 kms away from P, at the same time. On the way, however, the bus lost about 37.5 minutes while stopping at the certain place. What is the speed of the jeep? a) 64 km/hr b) 72 km/hr c) 68 km/hr d) 56 km/hr
