Correct Answer: 60 kmph
Explanation:
Relative speed of both trains = (150 + 100)/10 = 25 m/sec = 25 x (18/5) = 90 km/hr
? Speed of second train = (90 - 30) = 60 km/hr .
Correct Answer: 200 meters
Explanation:
? Relative speed of the train = (40 - 25) km/hr = 15 x (5/18) = 25/6 m/sec
? Length of the train = (48 x 25) / 6 = 200 meters .
Correct Answer: 84
Explanation:
Let the speed of the train be v km/hr
Relative speed of the train = (v + 6) km/hr = [(v + 6) x 5/18] m/sec
? 150/6 = (v + 6) x (5/18)
? 5v + 30 = 450
? v = 84 km/hr
Correct Answer: 175 metres
Explanation:
Relative speed of the train = (40 - 22) km/hr = 18 km/hr
Relative speed of the train in m/sec = 18 x (5/18) = 5 m/sec.
Let the length of 2nd train be L meters.
Then, (125 + L) / 5 = 60 sec.
? 125 + L = 300
? L = 175
? Length of second train = 175 meters
Correct Answer: 150
Explanation:
Let the length of the train be 'L' meters and its speed be 'v' meters/sec
Then, L/v = 15
? v = L/15 ....(1)
Now, (L + 100)/25 = L/15
? L = 150 m
Correct Answer: 52 seconds
Explanation:
Let the length of train = L metres
Speed of train = 45 x (5/18) = 25/2 m/sec.
Distance covered in crossing the platform = (L + 100) m
? (L + 100) x (2/25) = 60
? 2L + 200 = 1500
? L = 650.
Now, time taken to cross the pole = 650 x (2/25) = 52 sec.
Correct Answer: 50 metres
Explanation:
Let the length of each train = L metres
Relative speed = (46 - 36) = 10 km/hr. = 10 x (5/18) = 25/9 m/sec
Distance covered in crossing = (L + L) = 2L metres
? 2L x (9/25) = 36
? L = (25 x 36)/(2 x 9) = 50 metres.
Correct Answer: 12 seconds
Explanation:
Relative speed of both trains = (32 + 40) = 72 km/hr = 72 x (5/18) = 20 m/sec
Distance covered in crossing each other = 132 + 108 = 240 m
? Required time = 240/20 = 12 sec.
Correct Answer: 60
Explanation:
Distance covered in 72 sec. = 300 + 900 m
? Speed = 1200/72 = 50/3 m/sec. = 60 km/hr .
Correct Answer: 11.7 sec
Explanation:
Total distance = 130 m = 0.13 km
Speed of the train = 40 km /hr
Time taken = 0.13/40 hr = (0.13 x 60 x 60) / 40 = 11.7 sec.
