Description : A shatabadi express takes 240 seconds to cover a distance of length 700 meters at a speed of 270 km/hr. What will be the time taken by the train to cross a standing pole? A) 160sec B) 465sec C) 310sec D) 231sec
Last Answer : ANSWER:D Explanation: Speed of the train = 270 km/hr. Converting the speed into m/sec Speed = 270 km/hr = 270 x 5/18 m/sec = 75 m/sec First, we have to find the length of the train Let ... a standing Pole at 75 m/s =( 17300/75)seconds = 231 seconds. Hence the answer is 231 sec(approx.)
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 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 : 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 : A passenger train 300m long is running with a speed of 136 km/hr. In what time will it pass a boy who is running at 6 km/hr in opposite direction in which the train is moving? A) 8.6sec B) 7.6sec C) 3.6sec D) 2.6sec
Last Answer : ANSWER: B Explanation: Speed of the train = 136 km/hr Speed of boy = 6 km/hr Speed of the train relative to boy = (13 + 6)km/hr = 142 km/hr Convert km/hr into m/s 142 km /hr = (142 * 5 / 18 ... taken bt it to cover 300 m at 39.44 m/s =300 / 39.44 [speed time= distance / speed] = 7.6 sec
Description : A train 170 m long is running at a speed of 22.5 km/hr. what time will it take to cross a 80m long bridge? A) 20 sec B) 40 sec C) 15 sec D) 30sec
Last Answer : ANSWER:B Explanation: Length of the train = 170 m Length of the bridge = 80 m Therefore, length of the train + length of the bridge = (170 + 80) m = 250m Speed of the train = 22.5 km/hr Speed ... .25m/sec Therefore, time taken by the train to cross the bridge = 250 m/6.25 m/sec. = 40 seconds.
Description : The distance between two cities A and B is 330km. A train starts from A at 8 (a)m. and travels towards B at 60 km/hr. Another train starts from B at 9 (a)m. and travels towards A at 75 km/hr. At what time do they meet? a) 10 am. b) 10 : 30 am. c) 11 am. d) 11 : 30 am. e) None of these
Last Answer : Distance travelled by first train in one hour = 60 x 1 = 60 km Therefore, distance between two train at 9 a.m. = 330 – 60 = 270 km Now, Relative speed of two trains = 60 + 75 = 135 km/hr Time of meeting of two trains =270/135=2 hrs. Therefore, both the trains will meet at 9 + 2 = 11 A.M. Answer: c)
Description : The distance between two cities A and B is 330 km. A train starts from A at 8 a.m. and travels towards B at 60 km/hr. Another train starts from B at 9 a.m. and travels towards A at 75 km/hr. At what time do they meet? A.10:30 am B.10:45 am C.11 am D.11:25 am E.None of these
Last Answer : Answer – C (11 am) Explanation – Suppose they meet x hrs after 8 a.m. Then, (Distance moved by first in x hrs) + [Distance moved by second in (x-1) hrs] = 330 60x + 75(x – 1) = 330 x = 3 So, they meet at (8 + 3), i.e. 11 a.m
