- C. 15:05 hrs
- D. 15:00 hrs
- Correct Answer
- 15:07 hrs
ExplanationNext train comes at 17:00 hrs.
So, last train will be = 17:00hrs - 2:30hrs
= 14:30hrs
Announcement made after 37 min of the last train.
S0, 14:30hrs + 00:37 min

Correct Answer: 37.33 sec
Explanation:
Speed = 108 km/hr
enter a tunnel,, means that the train covers a distance equal to its own length
so (108 x 5/18) = x/4 where x= length of train
hence x = 120 mtrs
to pass completely train has to travel a distance = (x + tunnel length) that is 1120 mtrs.
so (1120/t) = (108x5/18)
t = 37.33 sec
Correct Answer: 75 kmph
Explanation:
Total distance = 150 + 210 = 360 mts
Time taken to cross each other when moving in opposite direction = 10.8 sec
Relative speed of trains = (350/10.8) x 18/5 = 3600/30 = 120 kmph
Speed of shorter train = (150/12) x 18/5 = 45 kmph
Hence, speed of longer train = 120 - 45 = 75 kmph.
Correct Answer: 7.65 sec
Explanation:
Here total distance = 154 + 101 = 255 mts
Given speed = 120 kmph = 120x5/18 m/sec
Hence, Time = d/s = 255x18/120x5 = 7.65 sec
Correct Answer: 49 kmph
Explanation:
Speed of the train relative to man
= (125/10) m/sec = (25/2) m/sec.
[(25/2) x (18/5)] km/hr = 45 km/hr.
Let the speed of the train be 'x' km/hr.
Then, relative speed = (x - 4) km/hr.
x - 4 = 45 => x = 49 km/hr.
Correct Answer: 2 : 1
Explanation:
Given that train K crosses a pole in 30 seconds and train L crosses the same pole in one minute and 15 seconds.
Let the length of train K be Lk and that of train L be Ll
given that Lk = 3/4 Ll
As the train K and L crosses the pole in 30 seconds and 80 seconds respectively,
=> Speed of train K = sk = Lk/30
Speed of train L = sl = Ll/80
Lk = 3/4 Ll
=> sk = 3/4 Ll/(30) = Ll/40
Ratio of their speeds = sk : sl
= Ll/40 : Ll/80
=> 1/40 : 1/80 = 2 : 1
Correct Answer: 50 sec
Explanation:
The distance to be covered = Sum of their lengths = 200 + 300 = 500 m.
Relative speed = 72 -36 = 36 kmph = 36 x 5/18 = 10 mps.
Time required = d/s = 500/10 = 50 sec.
Correct Answer: 400 m
Explanation:
Speed = 78 x 5/18 = 65/3 m/sec.
Time = 1 min = 60 sec.
Let the length of the train be x meters.
Then, (900 + x)/60 = 65/3
x = 400 m.
Correct Answer: 24 kmph
Explanation:
Total time taken = k/40 + 2k/20 hours
= 5k/40 = k/8 hours
Average speed = 3k/(k/8) = 24 kmph.
Correct Answer: 4 : 3
Explanation:
Let us name the trains as A and B.
Then, (A's speed) : (B's speed)
= ?b : ?a = ?16 : ?9 = 4:3
Correct Answer: 245 mts
Explanation:
Let the length of the brigade is x mts
Then Distance = 130 + x mts
given speed = 45 kmph = 45 x5/18 m/s
Time = 30 sec
T = D/S
=> 30 = 130+x/(45x5/18)
=> x = 245 mts.
