Correct Answer: 6 sec
Explanation:
Speed of train relative to man = (60 + 6) km/hr = 66 km/hr.
| = | ❨ | 66 x | 5 | ❩m/sec |
| 18 |
| = | ❨ | 55 | ❩m/sec. |
| 3 |
| ∴ Time taken to pass the man = | ❨ | 110 x | 3 | ❩sec = 6 sec. |
| 55 |
Correct Answer: 230 m
Explanation:
Relative speed = (120 + 80) km/hr
| = | ❨ | 200 x | 5 | ❩m/sec |
| 18 |
| = | ❨ | 500 | ❩m/sec. |
| 9 |
Let the length of the other train be x metres.
| Then, | x + 270 | = | 500 |
| 9 | 9 |
⟹ x + 270 = 500
⟹ x = 230.
Correct Answer: 79.2 km/hr
Explanation:
Let the length of the train be x metres and its speed by y m/sec.
| Then, | x | = 8 ⟹ x = 8y |
| y |
| Now, | x + 264 | = y |
| 20 |
⟹ 8y + 264 = 20y
⟹ y = 22.
| ∴ Speed = 22 m/sec = | ❨ | 22 x | 18 | ❩ | km/hr = 79.2 km/hr. |
| 5 |
Correct Answer: 36 sec
Explanation:
Speed of train relative to jogger = (45 - 9) km/hr = 36 km/hr.
| = | ❨ | 36 x | 5 | ❩m/sec |
| 18 |
= 10 m/sec.
Distance to be covered = (240 + 120) m = 360 m.
Correct Answer: 150 m
Explanation:
Let the length of the train be x metres and its speed by y m/sec.
| Then, | x | = 15 ⟹ y = | x | . |
| y | 15 |
| ∴ | x + 100 | = | x |
| 25 | 15 |
⟹ 15(x + 100) = 25x
⟹ 15x + 1500 = 25x
⟹ 1500 = 10x
⟹ x = 150 m.
Correct Answer: 270 m
Explanation:
| Speed = | ❨ | 72 x | 5 | ❩m/sec | = 20 m/sec. |
| 18 |
Time = 26 sec.
Let the length of the train be x metres.
| Then, | x + 250 | = 20 |
| 26 |
⟹ x + 250 = 520
⟹ x = 270.
Correct Answer: 12
Explanation:
| Speed of the first train = | ❨ | 120 | ❩ | m/sec = 12 m/sec. |
| 10 |
| Speed of the second train = | ❨ | 120 | ❩ | m/sec = 8 m/sec. |
| 15 |
Relative speed = (12 + 8) = 20 m/sec.
| ∴ Required time = | [ | (120 + 120) | ] | sec = 12 sec. |
| 20 |
Correct Answer: 10 a.m.
Explanation:
Suppose they meet x hours after 7 a.m.
Distance covered by A in x hours = 20x km.
Distance covered by B in (x - 1) hours = 25(x - 1) km.
∴ 20x + 25(x - 1) = 110
⟹ 45x = 135
⟹ x = 3.
So, they meet at 10 a.m.
Correct Answer: 400 m
Explanation:
Let the length of the first train be x metres.
| Then, the length of the second train is | ❨ | x | ❩ | metres. |
| 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 metres.
| 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: 150 metres
Explanation:
| Speed = | ❨ | 60 x | 5 | ❩m/sec | = | ❨ | 50 | ❩m/sec. |
| 18 | 3 |
Length of the train = (Speed x Time).
| ∴ Length of the train = | ❨ | 50 | x 9 | ❩m = 150 m. |
