Options- A. 120 km.
- B. 130 km.
- C. 140 km.
- D. 150 km.
- Correct Answer
- 120 km.
ExplanationLet the required distance be x km.

- C. 12 s
- D. 24 s Discuss

Options- A. 200 km.
- B. 30 km
- C. 120 km.
- D. 40 km. Discuss
- 7. 150 meter long train takes 10 second two pass a man who is going in same direction at the speed of 2 km/hr . What is the speed of the train?
Options- A. 52 km/hr.
- B. 56 km/hr.
- C. 84 km/hr.
- D. data inadequate Discuss
- 8. A train running at the speed of 45 kmph took 12 seconds in passing a certain point. Then the length of the train must be?
Options- A. 90 meters
- B. 120 meters
- C. 150 meters

Correct Answer: 43.2 km/hr
Explanation:
Length of train = 120 m.
Total taken in crossing the pole = 10 seconds.
Speed of the train = length / time
= 120 / 10
= 12 m/s
= 12 x (18/5)
= 43.2 km/hr
Correct Answer: 121/2seconds
Explanation:
Speed of train = (120/5) = 24 m/sec.
Time takes to cross the platform
= (120 + 180)/24
= 121/2
Correct Answer: 24 s
Explanation:
Speed of the train = 18 km/h = 18 x 5/18 m/s = 5 m/s
Distance covered = Length of the train = 120 m
? Time taken by the train to cross the man = Distance/Speed
= 120/5 = 24 s
Correct Answer: 100 km/h
Explanation:
Relative speed of train
= Speed of train + Speed of car
? 90 = Speed of train + 15
? Speed of train = 90 - 15 = 75 km/h
Correct Answer: 6 km/h
Explanation:
We know that, if two trains are running in the same direction, then relative speed is equal to the difference of the speeds of both the trains.
? Required relative speed = 21 - 15 = 6 km/h
Correct Answer: 200 km.
Explanation:
Suppose they meet x km. from X
Then, x/20 = (500 - x)/30
? 30x = 10000 - 20x
? x = 200 km.
Correct Answer: 56 km/hr.
Explanation:
Let the speed of the train be Y km/hr
? length of the train = 150 m
= 150/1000 = 3/20 km.
Time taken to cross the man = 10 seconds
= 10/ (60 x 60) = 1/360 hrs .
? time = Length of the train /( speed of the train - speed of the man )
? 1/360 = ( 3 / 20) / ( Y - 2)
? (Y - 2 ) = 3/20 x 360
? (Y - 2 )= 54
? Y = 54 + 2
= 56 km/hr.
Correct Answer: 150 meters
Explanation:
? Speed = (45 x 5/18) = (25/2) m/sec
Distance = (Time x Speed) = (12 x 25 / 2 ) meters
= 150 meters
? Length of the train = 150 meters
Correct Answer: 13.5 seconds
Explanation:
? Speed of the train = 20 x (5/18) = (50/9) m/sec
? Time taken by the train to pass the man = 75 x (9/50) = 13.5 sec
Correct Answer: 10 a.m
Explanation:
Suppose they meet T hrs after 7 a.m
? Distance covered by A in T hrs = (20 x T) km
Distance covered by B in (T - 1) hrs = 25(T - 1) km
? 20T + 25 (T -1) = 110
? 45 x T = 135
? T = 3 hours
So, they meet at 10 a.m.
