Options- A. 9 s
- B. 6 s
- C. 12 s
- D. 4 s
- Correct Answer
- 6 s
ExplanationSpeed of the train relative to man
= (240 + 24) km/h = 264 km/h
= 264 x (5/18) m/s = 220/3 m/s
Distance covered in passing the man = 440 m
? Time taken = (440/220) x 3 = 6 s - 1. A train crosses a platform in 30 seconds at a speed of 45km/hr. How much time will it take to cross an electric pole if take to cross an electric pole if the length of the platform is 100 metres?

Correct Answer: 30 seconds
Explanation:
Distance covered by the train in crossing the platform
= (45 x 30) / 3600
= 3/8 km
= 375 metres
? Length of train = (375 - 100) = 275 meters
? Time taken to cross the pole
= 275 ÷ (375/30)
= (275 x 30) /375
= 30 sec
Correct Answer: 100 metres
Explanation:
Relative speed of both trains
= (50 - 30) = 20 km/hr
= 20 x (5/18) m/sec.
= (50/9) m/sec.
Let the length of the faster train be L
Then, (L x 9)/50 = 18
? L = (18 x 50)/9
= 100 meters
Correct Answer: 162/3 seconds
Explanation:
? Speed of the train = 54 x (5/18) m/sec = 15 m/sec
? Time taken by the train to cross the tunnel
= Time taken by it to cover (120 + 130) m
= (250/15) sec
= 162/3
Correct Answer: 6 seconds
Explanation:
Relative speed of the train
= (70 - 10)
= 60 km/hr
= (60 x 5/18)
= 50/3) m/sec.
? Time taken by the train to pass the man
= (100 x 3/50) = 6 sec.
Correct Answer: 260 metres
Explanation:
Let the length of another train be L meters.
Their relative speed = (62 + 40) km/hr = 102 x (5/18) = (85/3) m/sec
? 250 + L/(85/3) = 18
? 3(250 + L)/85 = 18
? 250 + L = 510
? L = 260
? Length of another train = 260 meters
Correct Answer: 2.8 m/s
Explanation:
Length of the train = 280 m
Length of the platform = 280 x 3 = 840 m
Taken time = 6 min 40 s
= (360 + 40) = 400 s
? Required speed = Distance / Time
= (840 + 280)/400
= 1120/400
= 28 m/s
Correct Answer: 26 s
Explanation:
Relative speed = (84 + 60) km/h
= 144 km/h = 144 x (5/18) m/s
= 8 x 5 = 40 m/s
Distance covered in passing each other
= 512 + 528 = 1040 m
? Required time = 1040/40 = 26 s
Correct Answer: 54 kmph
Explanation:
Speed of first train = (100/10) = 10 m/sec.
Let the speed of second train be x m/sec
? 200/ 10 + x = 8
? 200 = 80 + 8x
? x = 15
? Speed of second train = 15 m/sec
= (15 x 18/5)
= 54 km/hr.
Correct Answer: 54 km/hr
Explanation:
A's speed / B's speed = ?(Time taken by B to reach X) / (Time taken by A to reach Y)
? 45/B's speed = ?(10/3) x (5/24) = 5/6
? B's speed = 45 x (6/5) km/hr = 54 km/hr.
Correct Answer: 210 km
Explanation:
Basically they will exchange their speeds just after half of the time required for the whole journey. It means after covering 210 km distance they will exchange their speeds. check it out graphically for more clarification.
