Question: 11 -

The two trains of lengths 400 m, 600 m respectively, running at same directions. The faster train can cross the slower train in 180 sec, the speed of the slower train is 48 km. then find the speed of the faster train? 

Options:
  1. 55 Kmph

  2. 78 Kmph

  3. 68 Kmph

  4. 58 Kmph

  5. Answer:

    68 Kmph

    Solution:

    Length of the two trains = 600m + 400m 

    Speed of the first train = X

    Speed of the second train= 48 Kmph 

    1000/X - 48 = 180

    1000/x - 48 * 5/18 = 180

    50 = 9X - 120

    X = 68 Kmph 


Question: 12 -

A train speeds past a pole in 15 seconds and a platform 100 m long in 25 seconds. Its length is: 

Options:
  1. 130 m

  2. 100 m

  3. 125 m

  4. 150 m

  5. Answer:

    150 m

    Solution:

    Let the length of the train be x meters and its speed be y m/sec.

    They, x / y = 15 => y = x/15 

    x + 100 / 25 = x / 15 

     x = 150 m. 


Question: 13 -

A train 400 m long can cross an electric pole in 20 sec and then find the speed of the train?

Options:
  1. 75 Kmph

  2. 70 Kmph

  3. 65 Kmph

  4. 72 Kmph

  5. Answer:

    72 Kmph

    Solution:

    Length = Speed * time

    Speed = L/T 

    S = 400/20

    S = 20 M/Sec 

    Speed= 20*18/5 (To convert M/Sec in to Kmph multiply by 18/5)

    Speed = 72 Kmph


Question: 14 -

A train crosses a platform of 150 m in 15 sec, same train crosses another platform of length 250 m in 20 sec. then find the length of the train? 

Options:
  1. 160 m

  2. 150 m

  3. 155 m

  4. 165 m

  5. Answer:

    150 m

    Solution:

    Length of the train be 'X'

    X + 150/15 = X + 250/20

    4X + 600 = 3X + 750

    X = 150m 


Question: 15 -

A train crosses a platform of 120 m in 15 sec, same train crosses another platform of length 180 m in 18 sec. then find the length of the train? 

Options:
  1. 180 m

  2. 175 m

  3. 185 m

  4. 170 m

  5. Answer:

    180 m

    Solution:

    Length of the train be 'X'

    X + 120/15 = X + 180/18

    6X + 720 = 5X + 900

    X = 180m
