Question: 16 -

Two stations A and B are 110 km apart on a straight line. One train starts from A at 7 a.m. and travels towards B at 20 kmph. Another train starts from B at 8 a.m. and travels towards A at a speed of 25 kmph. At what time will they meet? 

Options:
  1. 10.30 a.m.

  2. 10 a.m.

  3. 9 a.m.

  4. 11 a.m.

  5. Answer:

    10 a.m.

    Solution:

    Suppose they meet x hours after 7 a.m. 

    Distance covered by A in x hours = 20x km. 

    Distance covered by B in (x - 1) hours = 25(x - 1) km. 

    Therefore 20x + 25(x - 1) = 110 

    45x = 135  

    x = 3. 

    So, they meet at 10 a.m.


Question: 17 -

A train running at the speed of 60 km/hr crosses a pole in 9 seconds. Find the length of the train. 

Options:
  1. 135 m

  2. 140 m

  3. 145 m

  4. 150 m

  5. Answer:

    150 m

    Solution:

    Speed = 60*(5/18) m/sec = 50/3 m/sec 

    Length of Train (Distance) = Speed * Time 

    (50/3) * 9 = 150 meter


Question: 18 -

A train is 360 meter long is running at a speed of 45 km/hour. In what time will it pass a bridge of 140 meter length? 

Options:
  1. 40 sec

  2. 50 sec

  3. 20 sec

  4. 30 sec

  5. Answer:

    40 sec

    Solution:

    Speed = 45 Km/hr = 45*(5/18) m/sec = 25/2 m/sec

    Total distance = 360+140 = 500 meter 

    Time = Distance/speed 

    = 500 * (2/25) = 40 seconds


Question: 19 -

A 1200 m long train crosses a tree in 120 sec, how much time will I take to pass a platform 700 m long? 

Options:
  1. 180 sec

  2. 175 sec

  3. 190 sec

  4. 170 sec

  5. Answer:

    190 sec

    Solution:

    L = S*T 

    S= 1200/120

    S= 10 m/Sec.

    Total length (D)= 1900 m

    T = D/S

    T = 1900/10

    T = 190 Sec 


Question: 20 -

ow many seconds will a 500 meter long train take to cross a man walking with a speed of 3 km/hr in the direction of the moving train if the speed of the train is 63 km/hr? 

Options:
  1. 25 sec

  2. 35 sec

  3. 30 sec

  4. 28 sec

  5. Answer:

    30 sec
