Options- A. 10 s
- B. 8 s
- C. 12 s
- D. 16 s

Correct Answer: 72 km/h
Explanation:
Let length of the train = L
According to the question,
(L + 300)/21 = (L + 240)/18
? (L + 300)/7 = (L + 240)/6
? 6L + 1800 = 7L + 1680
? L = 120 m
Taking the length of the 2nd bridge into consideration,
Speed of train = (L+ 240)/18 = (120 + 240)/18 m/s
= (360/18) x (18/5) km/h
= 72 km/h
Correct Answer: 750 m
Explanation:
Let length of both train and platform be L.
Distance covered by the train to cross the platform = L + L = 2L
Time =1 min = 60 s
and speed = 90 km/h = 90 x 5/18 = 25 m/s
? Distance = Speed x Time
? 2L = 25 x 60
? L = 750 m
Correct Answer: 100 m
Explanation:
Let length of the train be L m.
According to the question,
L/2 = (L + 250)/7
? 7L = 2L + 500
? 7L - 2L = 500
? 5L = 500
? L = 500/5 = 100 m
Correct Answer: 225 m
Explanation:
Let the length of the train be L m.
According to the question,
L/9 = Speed ...(i)
and (L + 150)/15 = Speed ..(ii)
from Eqs. (i) and (ii) we get
L/9 = (L + 150)/15
? L/3 = (L + 150)/5
? 5L = 3L + 450
? L = 225 m
Correct Answer: 300 m
Explanation:
Speed of train = 60 km/h = 60 x (5/18) m/s = 50/3 m/s
Let length of the platform be L m.
According to the question,
200 + L = (50/3) x 30
? 200 + L = 500
? L = 300 m
Correct Answer: 20 km/h
Explanation:
Relative speed of train = 400/36 m/s = 400/36 x (18/5) = 40 km/h
Relative speed of train = Speed of train + Speed of man
? 40 = Speed of train + 20
? Speed of train = 40 - 20 = 20 km/h
Correct Answer: 6 s
Explanation:
Total length of the train = 105 + 90 = 195 m
Relative speed = 72 + 45 km/h = 117 km/h = 117 x (5/18) = 585/18 m/s
? Required time = (195 x (18/585) s = 6 s
Correct Answer: 16.8 s
Explanation:
Speed = 60 km/h = 60 x (5/18) m/s = 50/3 m/s
Required time = (110 + 170) / (50/3) = (280 x 3)/50 = 16.8 s
Correct Answer: 50 m
Explanation:
Let the length of each train be L m.
Relative speed = 46 - 36 = 10 km/h = 10 x 5/18 m/s = 25/9 m/s
Sum of length of train / Relative speed of train = Time taken
? 2L/(25/9) = 36
? 2L = (36 x 25)/9 = 100
? L = 50 m.
Correct Answer: 125 m
Explanation:
Let length of each train be L m.
Then. (65 + 85 ) x 5/18 = (L + L)/6
? (150 x 5 x 6)/18 = 2L
? 2L = 250
? L = 125 m
