- B. 9 sec
- C. 6 sec
- D. 4 sec Also asked in: Bank Exams
Correct Answer: 8 sec
- 3. Excluding stoppages, the speed of a train is 120 kmph and including stoppages, it is 50 kmph. For how many minutes does the train stop per hour?
Options- A. 25
- B. 40
- C. 35
- D. 20 Also asked in: Bank Exams
Correct Answer: 35
- 4. A train moving at 2/3 rd of its normal speed reaches its destination 20 minutes late. Find the normal time taken ?
Options- A. 4/3 hrs
- B. 2/3 hrs
- C. 3/2 hrs
- D. 1/4 hrs Also asked in: AIEEE, Bank Exams, CAT, GATE, Bank Clerk, Bank PO
Correct Answer: 2/3 hrs
Explanation:
Let the original speed and time is S and T
then distance = S x T
Now the speed changes to 2/3S and T is T+20
As the distance is same
S x T = 2/3Sx(T+20)
solving this we get t = 40 minutes
=40/60 = 2/3 hour
- 5. A jogger running at 9 km/hr along side a railway track is 260 m ahead of the engine of a 140 m long train running at 45 km/hr in the same direction. In how much time will the train pass the jogger ?
Options- A. 25 sec
- B. 40 sec
- C. 38 sec
- D. 32 sec Also asked in: AIEEE, Bank Exams, CAT, GATE, Bank Clerk, Bank PO
Correct Answer: 40 sec
Explanation:
Speed of train relative to jogger = 45 - 9 = 36 km/hr.
= 36 x 5/18 = 10 m/sec.
Distance to be covered = 260 + 140 = 400 m.
Time taken = 400/10 = 40 sec.
- 6. Two trains are moving in opposite directions at 60 km/hr and 90 km/hr. Their lengths are 1.10 km and 0.9 km respectively. The time taken by the slower train to cross the faster train in seconds is ?
Options- A. 42 sec
- B. 44 sec
- C. 46 sec
- D. 48 sec Also asked in: AIEEE, Bank Exams, CAT, GATE, Bank Clerk, Bank PO
Correct Answer: 48 sec
Explanation:
Relative speed = 60 + 90 = 150 km/hr.
= 150 x 5/18 = 125/3 m/sec.
Distance covered = 1.10 + 0.9 = 2 km = 2000 m.
Required time = 2000 x 3/125 = 48 sec.
- 7. A 260 m long train running at the speed of 120 km/hr crosses another train running in opposite direction at the speed of 80 km/hr in 9 sec. What is the length of the other train ?
Options- A. 240 mts
- B. 270 mts
- C. 260 mts
- D. 250 mts Also asked in: AIEEE, Bank Exams, CAT, Bank Clerk, Bank PO
Correct Answer: 240 mts
Explanation:
Relative speed = 120 + 80 = 200 km/hr.
= 200 x 5/18 = 500/9 m/sec.
Let the length of the other train be L mts.
Then, (L + 260)/9 = 500/9 => L = 240 mts.
- 8. Two trains move from stations M and N. Both trains move towards each other at speeds of 54 km/hr and 63 km/hr respectively. When they meeteach other, the second train has travel 100 km more than the first. What is the distance (in km) between M and N
Options- A. 600
- B. 700
- C. 1300
- D. 1500 Discuss
Correct Answer: 1300

Options- A. 130
- B. 120
- C. 140
- D. 150 Also asked in: Bank Exams
Correct Answer: 150
