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 : 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 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 : 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 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 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 : 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
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.
