- Question
- Two trains 70 m and 80 m long respectively, run at the rates of 68 km and 40 km an hour respectively, on parallel rails in opposite directions. How long do they take to pass each other?
Options- A. 5 seconds
- B. 10 seconds
- C. 12 seconds
- D. 6 seconds
- Correct Answer
- 5 seconds
ExplanationTotal distance = 70 + 80 = 150 m
Relative speed = 68 + 40 = 108 kmph = 108 x (5/18) = 30 m/s
So time taken = 150 / 30 = 5 seconds. - 1. A train 110 metres in length travels at 60 km/hr.In what time will it pass a man which is walking against the train at 6 km an hour?

Correct Answer: 6 seconds
Explanation:
? Relative speed of the train = 60 + 6 = 66 km/hr
= 66 x 5/18 m/sec = 55/3 m/sec
? Required time = 110 x (3/55) = 6 sec
Correct Answer: 21 sec
Explanation:
Distance covered = 110 + 240 = 350 m
Speed = 60 km/ph = 60 x (5/18) m/s = 50/3 m/sec.
Time = distance / speed = 350 x 3 / 50 = 21 sec.
Correct Answer: 15
Explanation:
Speed of train = distance covered / time.
= (50 + 100) / 10
= 15 m/sec.
Correct Answer: 54 km/hr.
Explanation:
Required speed = (240 + 120) / 24 = 15 m/sec
= 15 x (18/5) km/hr = 54 km/hr
Correct Answer: 6.6 sec
Explanation:
Time = distance / speed
=110 / {60 x 18/5} = 6.6 sec.
Correct Answer: 45 km/hr
Explanation:
Distance covered in 2/60 hours = (1 + 1/2) = 3/2 km
Distance covered in 1 hour = (3/2) x (60/2) = 45 km
So, speed of the train = 45 km/hr
Correct Answer: 54 km/hr
Explanation:
Distance covered by train in 10 sec = (50 + 100) = 150 m
? Speed = 150/10 m/sec = 15 x (18/5) = 54 km/hr
Correct Answer: 90 m
Explanation:
We know that, the distance covered by a train in passing a pole or a standing man or a signal post or any other object (of negligible length) is equal to the length of the train.
In this case, train covers 90 m to cross a standing man.
? Length of the train = 90 m
Correct Answer: 66 km/h
Explanation:
We know that,
Speed = Distance/ Time
Speed of the train = 220/12 x (18/5) km/h
Correct Answer: 64
Explanation:
By the formula, speed= Distance/ Time
= (240 + 240)/27 x (18/5)
= 480/27 x 18/5 = 64 km/h
