- Question
- From station M and N, two trains start moving towards each other at speed 125 km/h and 75 km/h, respectively. When the two trains meet each other, it is founds that one train covers 50 km more than another. Find the distance between M and N.?
Options- A. 190 km
- B. 200 km
- C. 145 km
- D. 225 km
- Correct Answer
- 200 km
ExplanationLet the trains meet after time t at a distance x from station N.
Then another train coming from station M covers a distance of (x + 50)
For station M,
(x + 50) = 125t
? x = 125t - 50 ..(i)
For station N,
x = 75t .....(ii)
From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
75t = 125t - 50
? t = 1h
Distance between station M and N = 125 + 75t = 200 x 1 = 200 km - 1. The ratio between the speeds of two train is 8 : 9 Second train covers 360 km in 4 h. Distance covered by first train in 3 h (in km ) is?

- C. 125 m
- D. 150 m Discuss
- 4. Two train of equal length are running on parallel lines in the same direction at 46 km/h and 36 km/h. The faster train passes the slower train in 36 s. The length of each trains is?

Options- A. 5
- B. 9
- C. 10
- D. 6 Discuss
- 7. Without stoppages, the speed of a train is 150 km/h and with stoppages, it is 100 km/h. How many minutes does the train stop?
Options- A. 20
- B. 15
- C. 25
- D. 45 Discuss
- 8. Two trains running in opposite directions cross a man standing on the platform 54s and 34s respectively and they cross each other in 46 s . Find the ratio of their speeds.?
Options- A. 3 : 2
- B. 2 : 3

Correct Answer: 240
Explanation:
Let speed of 1st train be 8S and speed of 2nd train be 9S
According to the question.
Speed of second train = 360/4 = 90 km/h
9S = 90
? S = 10
So, speed of 1st train = 8 x 10 = 80 km/h
? Required distance = 80 x 3 = 240 km
Correct Answer: 2 : 3
Explanation:
Given that, T1 = 9 h and T 2 = 4 h
According to the formula.
(1st train's speed) : (2nd train's speed) = ?4 : ?9
= 2 : 3
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
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: 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: 10
Explanation:
Because of stoppages, train covers 18 km less per hour .
? Time taken to cover 18 km = 18/108 = 1/6 h = (1/6) x 60 = 10 min
Correct Answer: 20
Explanation:
Because of stoppages, train covers 50 km less per hour.
? Time taken taken to cover 50 km = 50/150 h = (50/150) x 60 = 20 min
Correct Answer: 3 : 2
Explanation:
Let the speeds of two trains be x and y, respectively .
? Length of 1st train = 54x
Length of the 2nd train = 34y
According to the question.
(54x + 34y) / (x + y) = 46
? 54x + 34y = 46x + 46y
? 27x + 17y = 23x + 23y
? 4x = 6y
? x/y = 3/2
? x : y = 3 : 2
Correct Answer: 277/9 m
Explanation:
The length of the fast train = Relative speed x Time
= (40 - 20) x (5/18) x 5 = 277/9 m
Correct Answer: 36 s
Explanation:
Given that, t1 = 6 s and t2 = 9 s
Then, time taken by the trains to cross each other = 2t1 t2 / (t2 - t1)
= (2 x 6 x 9)/(9 - 6) = 36 s
