1. A train running at the speed of 60 km/hr crosses a pole in 9 seconds. What is the length of the train? A.

120 metres B.180 metres C.324 metres D.150 metres Answer & Explanation Answer: Option D Explanation: 5 5 60 0 Speed= = x 1 m/sec 3 m/sec. 8 5 x Length of the train = (Speed x Time) = 0 9 m = 150 m. 3 View Answer Workspace Report Discuss in Forum 2. A train 125 m long passes a man, running at 5 km/hr in the same direction in which the train is going, in 10 seconds. The speed of the train is: A.45 km/hr B.50 km/hr C.54 km/hr D.55 km/hr Answer & Explanation Answer: Option B Explanation: Speed of the train relative to man = 2 = 5 2 m/sec. 2 1 = 5x8 2 5 km/hr = 45 km/hr. Let the speed of the train be x km/hr. Then, relative speed = (x - 5) km/hr. x - 5 = 45 x = 50 km/hr. 12 5 10 m/sec

cross in 30 seconds, is: A.200 m C.245 m Answer & Explanation Answer: Option C Explanation: 2 5 45 5 Speed = = x 1 m/sec 2 m/sec. 8 Time = 30 sec. Let the length of bridge be x metres. Then, 130 + 2 x =5 30 2

B.225 m D.250 m

2(130 + x) = 750 x = 245 m. View Answer Workspace Report Discuss in Forum 4. Two trains running in opposite directions cross a man standing on the platform in 27 seconds and 17 seconds respectively and they cross each other in 23 seconds. The ratio of their speeds is: A.1 : 3 B.3 : 2 C.3 : 4 D.None of these Answer & Explanation Answer: Option B Explanation: Let the speeds of the two trains be x m/sec and y m/sec respectively. Then, length of the first train = 27x metres, and length of the second train = 17y metres. 27x + = 23 17y

x+ y 27x + 17y = 23x + 23y 4x = 6y x 3 = . y 2 View Answer Workspace Report Discuss in Forum 5. A train passes a station platform in 36 seconds and a man standing on the platform in 20 seconds. If the speed of the train is 54 km/hr, what is the length of the platform? A.120 m B.240 m C.300 m D.None of these Answer & Explanation Answer: Option B Explanation: Speed = 5 54 1 x 8 m/sec = 15 m/sec.

Length of the train = (15 x 20)m = 300 m. Let the length of the platform be x metres. x+ Then, 300 = 15 36 x + 300 = 540 x = 240 m.
