Question Detail

Two trains are running in opposite directions in the same speed. The length of each train is 120 meter. If they cross each other in 12 seconds, the speed of each train (in km/hr) is

30 Km/hr
36 Km/hr
80 Km/hr
90 Km/hr

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Distance covered = 120+120 = 240 m
Time = 12 s

Let the speed of each train = x.
Then relative velocity = x+x = 2x

2x = distance/time = 240/12 = 20 m/s

Speed of each train = x = 20/2 = 10 m/s

= 10*18/5 km/hr = 36 km/hr

1. How many seconds will a 500 meter long train take to cross a man walking with a speed of 3 km/hr in the direction of the moving train if the speed of the train is 63 km/hr

25 Seconds
28 Seconds
30 Seconds
35 Seconds

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Relative Speed = 63-3 = 60 Km/hr
= 60 *(5/18) = 50/3 m/sec

Time taken to pass the man will ne
\begin{aligned}
500*\frac{3}{50} = 30 \text{ seconds}
\end{aligned}

2. A train speeds past a pole in 15 seconds and a platform 100 meter long in 25 seconds. What is length of the train ?

140 meter
145 meter
150 meter
155 meter

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Let the length of the train is x meter and Speed of the train is y meter/second
Then x/y = 15 [because distance/speed = time]
=> y = 15/x

\begin{aligned}
=> \frac{x+100}{25} = \frac{x}{15} \\
x = 150 \text{ meters}
\end{aligned}

So length of the train is 150 meters

3. A train is 360 meter long is running at a speed of 45 km/hour. In what time will it pass a bridge of 140 meter length.

20 seconds
30 seconds
40 seconds
50 seconds

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Speed = 45 Km/hr = 45*(5/18) m/sec
= 25/2 m/sec
Total distance = 360+140 = 500 meter

Time = Distance/speed
\begin{aligned}
= 500*\frac{2}{25} = 40 seconds
\end{aligned}

4. A train is running with a speed of 60 kmph and its length is 110 metres. Calculate the time by which it will pass a man running opposite with speed of 6 kmph.

2 second
4 second
6 second
8 second

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

From the given question,
we will first calculate the speed of train relative to man,
=> ( 60 + 6 ) = 66 km/hr ( we added 6 because man is running opposite )
Convert it in metre/second
\begin{aligned}
= 66 \times\frac{5}{18} \\
= \frac{55}{3} m/sec\\
\text{Time it will take to pass man }\\
= 110 \times \frac{3}{55} \\
= 6 \text{ seconds}
\end{aligned}

5. In what time will a train 100 meters long cross an electric pole, if its speed is 144 km/hr

5 seconds
4.5 seconds
3 seconds
2.5 seconds

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

First convert speed into m/sec

Speed = 144*(5/18) = 40 m/sec

Time = Distance/speed
= 100/40 = 2.5 seconds
