Correct Answer: 500 m
Explanation:
Speed of the train = 72 x (5/18) = 20 m/sec
Let the length of tunnel = L meters
Then, (700 + L )/ 60 = 20
? 700 + L = 1200
? L = 500 meters
Correct Answer: 12 sec
Explanation:
Relative speed of the train = (32 + 40) = 72 km/hr = 72 x 5/18 = 20 m/sec.
Sum of length of the train = 132 + 108 = 240 m
time taken by the trains in passing each other = 240/20 = 12 sec .
Correct Answer: 64 sec
Explanation:
Speed of the first train = 90 km/hr = 90 x (5/18) m/sec. = 25 m/sec
Let the length of the train and bridge be L metre.
? L = 25 x 36 = 900 m.....(1)
Again Speed of the second train = 45 km/hr = 45 x (5/18) = 25/2 m/sec.
Now, putting the value from eqn. (1) we have
Time taken = (900 - 100) x 2/25 = 800 x 2/25 = 64 sec
Correct Answer: 500 m
Explanation:
length of tunnel + length of train = distances covered by train in 1 min
? length of tunnel + 700 = 72/60 km = 1.2 km = 1200 m
? length of tunnel = 1200 - 700 = 500 m
Correct Answer: 30 sec
Explanation:
Distance covered = 220 + 280 = 500 = 0.5 km
Speed = 60 kmph.
Time taken = 0.5 / 60 hr = (0.5 x 60 x 60)/60 sec
= 30 sec
Correct Answer: 400 m
Explanation:
Let the length of the first train be x m.
Then, the length of second train is (x/2) m
? Relative speed = (48 + 42) km/h = (90 x 5/18) m/s = 25 m/s
According to the question. (x + x/2) / 25 = 12
? 3x/2 = 300
? x = 200 m
? Length of first train = 200 m
Let the length of platform be y m .
Speed of the first train = (48 x 5/18) m/s = 40/3 m/s
Time = Distance / Speed
? (200 + y) x 3/40 = 45
? 600 + 3y = 1800
? y = 400 m
Correct Answer: 120
Explanation:
Given t1 = 16 h , t2 = 9 h and a = 90 km/h
According to the question
? Speed of B = a?t1/ t2
= 90 x ?16/9
= 90 x 4/3
= 30 x 4 = 120 km/h
Correct Answer: 120 m
Explanation:
Let the length of the train be L m.
New , speed = 48 km/h = 48 x (5/18) m/s
Train takes 9 s to cross a pole.
? : Length of train, L = Speed x Time
= 48 x (5/18) x 9 = 120 m
Correct Answer: 300 m
Explanation:
Speed of train = Length of train / Time taken to cross the stationary object
? Length of train = Speed of train x Time taken to cross the stationary object
= 72 x 5 x (15/18) = 300 m
Correct Answer: 500 m
Explanation:
Let length of bridge be L m.
We know, Speed = Distance/Time
According to the question,
90 x 5/18 = 150 + L/26
? 25 x 26 = 150 + L
? 650 = 150 + L
? L = 500 m
