- Question
- A train P start from Mokama at 5:00 pm reached Hazipur at 6:00 pm. An another train Q starts from Hazipur at 5:00 pm and reaches Mokama at 6:30 pm. At what time, two trains will cross each other?
Options- A. 5 : 36 pm
- B. 4 : 36 pm
- C. 6 : pm
- D. 7 : 00 pm
- Correct Answer
- 5 : 36 pm
ExplanationLet the distance between Mokama and Hazipur be D km
Time taken by train P to cover D km = 1 h
Time taken by Q to cover D km = 3/2 h
? Speed of train P = D km/h
Speed of train Q = 2D/3 km/h .
Let they cross each other T h after 5 : 00 pm.
Then, DT + 2DT/ 3 = D
? T + 2T/3 = 1
? T(1 + 2/3) = 1
? T = 3/5h = (3/5) x 60 = 3 x 12 = 36 min.
Hence, the two trains meet 36 min after 5 : 00 pm.

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.
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: 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: 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: 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: 60 km/h
Explanation:
Let speed in the return journey = V
? Speed in onward journey = (125/100) x V = 5V/4 km/h
Average speed = (2x 5V/4 x V) / (5V/4 + V) = 10V/9 km/h
? 1600 x (9/10V) = 30 [? halts for 2 h ]
? V = 1600 x 9/30 x 10 = 48 km/h
? Speed in onward journey = 5V/4 = 5/4 x 48 = 60 km/h
Correct Answer: 81 km/h
Explanation:
Speed of the person = 4 km/h = 4.5 x (5/18) = m/s = 5/4 m/s = 1.25 m/s
Speed of 2nd person = 5.4 km/h = 5.4 x (5/18) m/s = 3/2 m/s = 1.5 m/s
Let speed of train be x m/s.
Then, (x - 1.25) x 8.4 = (x - 1.5) x 8.5
? 8.4x - 10.5 = 8.5x - 12.75
? 0.1x = 2.25
? x = 22.5
? Speed of the train = 225 x (18/5 ) = 81 km/h .
Correct Answer: 54 km/h
Explanation:
Given, a = 45 km/h, y = ?, t1 = 4 h 48 min and t2 = 3 h 20 min
Using y = a?t1 / t2= 45?4 h and 48 min /3 h and 20 min
= 45?(24/5h) / (10/3 h) = 45?24 x 3/5 x 10
= 45 x ?1.44 = 45 x 12 = 54 km/h
Correct Answer: 700 metres
Explanation:
Let the length of slower train be L meters and the
length of faster train be (L/2) meters
Their relative speed = (36 + 54) km/hr
= 90 x (5/18)
= 25 m/sec
? 3L / (2 x 25) = 12
? 3L = 600
? L = 200
? Length of slower train = 200 meters
Let the length of platform by M meters
Then, 200 + M/[36 x (5/18)] = 90 sec.
? 200 + M = 900
? M = 700 meters
Length of platform = 700 meters.
Correct Answer: 24.8 m
Explanation:
Consider the diagram is shown above where PR represents the ladder and RQ represent the wall.
Cos 60° = PQ / PR
? 1 / 2 = 12.4 / PR
? PR = 2 × 12.4 = 24.8 m
