- B. 49.77 km/hr.
- C. 52 km/hr.
- D. 47.46 km/hr. Discuss

- C. 1600 m
- D. 1800 m Discuss
- 5. A 200 m long rain is running at a speed of 54 km/hr. On the parallel and a different track, another train 300 m long is running at a speed of 72 km/hr. Both the trains are running in the same direction. Find out how much will it take the train to cross each other?
Options- A. 90 sec
- B. 100 sec
- C. 120 sec
- D. 150 sec Discuss
- 6. A train 280 meters long is moving at a speed of 60 km/hr. The time taken by the train to cross a platform 220 meters long is?
Options- A. 20 seconds
- B. 25 seconds
- C. 30 seconds
- D. 35 seconds Discuss
- 7. A train 250 meter long, running with a speed of 50 km/hr will pass an electric pole in?
Options- A. 30 seconds
- B. 18 seconds
- C. 72 seconds
- D. 60 seconds Discuss
- 8. A speed of 16 meters per second is the same as?
Options- A. 40.3 km/hr
- B. 57.6 km/hr
- C. 51.16 km/hr
- D. None of these Discuss

Options- A. 5
- B. 30
- C. 40
- D. 50 Discuss
- 10. A train running at a certain speed crosses a stationary engine in 20 seconds. To find out the speed of the train, which of the following information is necessary?

Correct Answer: 72 km/hr
Explanation:
? Speed = Distance / Time = (300/15)
= 20 m/sec
= (20 x 18) / 5 = 72 km/hr
Correct Answer: 32 seconds
Explanation:
Relative speed = (25 + 2) = 27 km/hr = 27 x (5/18) m/sec. = 15/2 m/sec.
Time taken by the train to pass the men. = 270 / (15/2) = 36 sec.
Correct Answer: 49.77 km/hr.
Explanation:
Let the required speed be y km/hr.
Then, ( 2 x 64 ) x [ y / (64 + y)] = 56
? 128y = 64 x 56 + 56y
? y= (64 x 56 ) / 72
= 49.77 km/hr.
Correct Answer: 1400 m
Explanation:
Speed of train in m/sec = (speed of train in km/hr) x 5/18
? speed of train in m/sec = 54 x 5/18 = 15 m/sec
Time taken to cross the tunnel = 2 minutes = 120 sec
Therefore, Total length covered by train in crossing the tunnel = Speed of train x Time taken to cross the tunnel
= 15 m/sec x 120 sec = 1800 m
Now, we know that
Total length covered by train in crossing the tunnel = Length of train + Length of tunnel
Given, Length of train =400m and
Calculated above, Length covered by train in crossing the tunnel = 1800 m
Therefore, Length of tunnel = 1800m- 400m = 1400m
Correct Answer: 100 sec
Explanation:
We know that, when the trains are moving in the same direction,
Relative speed= Difference between the speed of train
and total distance for crossing each other = Sum of the length of train
Therefore, Relative speed = 72 km/hr - 54 km /hr = 18 km/hr
Relative speed in m/sec = 18 km/hr x 5/18 = 5 m/sec
and Total distance = 200m + 300m = 500m
and Total time taken to cross each other = Total distance in meter/ Relative speed in m/sec
= 500 m / (5 m/sec) = 100 sec
Correct Answer: 30 seconds
Explanation:
? Speed of the train = 60 x (5/18) m/sec = 50/3 m/sec
? Time taken by the train to cross the platform
= Time taken by it to cover (280 + 220) m
= (500 x 3/50) sec = 30 sec
Correct Answer: 18 seconds
Explanation:
? Speed of the train = 50 x (5/18) = 125/9 m/sec
? Time taken by the train to pass the pole = 250 x (9/125) = 18 sec
Correct Answer: 57.6 km/hr
Explanation:
16 m/sec = 16 x (18/5) = 57.6 km/hr
Correct Answer: 50
Explanation:
180 km/hr = 180 x (5/18) = 50 m/sec
Correct Answer: Both the length of the train and the length of the engine
Explanation:
Since the sum of the length of the train and the length of the engine is needed, so both the lengths must be known.
