- Question
A train travelling at 48 kmph completely crosses another train having half its length and travelling in opposite direction at 42 kmph, in 12 seconds. It also passes a railway platform in 45 seconds. The length of the platform is
Options- A. 400 m
- B. 450 m
- C. 560 m
- D. 600 m
- Correct Answer
- 400 m
Explanation
Let the length of the first train be x meters.Then, the length of the second train is ❨ x ❩ meters. 2 Relative speed = (48 + 42) kmph = ❨ 90 x 5 ❩ m/sec = 25 m/sec. 18 ∴ [x + (x/2)] = 12 or 3x = 300 or x = 200. 25 2 ∴ Length of first train = 200 m.
Let the length of platform be y meters.
Speed of the first train = ❨ 48 x 5 ❩ m/sec = 40 m/sec. 18 3 ∴ (200 + y) x 3 = 45 40 ⟹ 600 + 3y = 1800
⟹ y = 400 m.

Correct Answer: 4
Explanation:
(?)2 = ?132 + 28 / 4 - (3)3 + 107
= ?169 + 7 - 27 + 107
= ?256
= ?16
= 4
Correct Answer: 111/4
Explanation:
Let A takes x and B takes 3N days to finish the job.
According to the question,
3N - N = 30
? N = 30/2 = 15 days
? B's time to complete the work = 3N
= 3 x 15 = 45 days
? (A + B)'s 1 day's work
= (1/15) + (1/45) = (3 + 1)/45 = 4/45
? (A + B) will finish the work in 4/45 days
? Required time = 4/45 = 111/4
Correct Answer: 2
Explanation:
Let k / .0025=800
Then, k = 800 x .0025
= ( 800 x 25 ) / 10000
= 2
Correct Answer: None of these
Explanation:
Let 75% of 480 = A x 15.
? (75 x 480)/100 = 15A
? A = (75 x 480)/ (100 x 15) = 24
Correct Answer: 7 km/h and 2 km/h
Explanation:
Given, downstream speed = 9 km/h
and upstream speed = 5 km/h
According to the formula
Ravi's speed in still water = (Speed downstream + Speed upstream )/2
= 1/2(9 + 5) = 14/2 = 7 km/h
and speed of current = (Speed downstream - Speed upstream)/2
= (9 - 5)/2 = 4/2 = 2 km/h.
Correct Answer: 150
Explanation:
So, 150 is wrong.
Correct Answer: 15
Explanation:
Correct Answer: 63/7 min
Explanation:
Part filled by X in 1st min and Y in the 2nd min = ( 1/6 + 1/7) = 13/42
Part filled by ( X + Y ) working alternately in 6 min = 1/2 x 13/42 x 6 =13/14
? Remaining Part = ( 1- 13/14 ) = 1/14
Now, it is the turn of X, one-sixth part is filled in 1 min.
One-fourteenth part is filled in (6 x 1/14) min = 3/7
? Required time = ( 6 + 3/7 ) = 63/7 min
Correct Answer: 12 min
Explanation:
Time taken by A to fill the tank, m = 15 min
? Time taken by B to fill the tank, n = 15 x 4 = 60
? Required time taken m x n/(m + n)
= (15 x 60)/(15 + 60) = (15 x 60)/75 = 12 min
