Then,

x + 270 500 = 9 9

x + 270 = 500 x = 230. View Answer Workspace Report Discuss in Forum 12. A goods train runs at the speed of 72 kmph and crosses a 250 m long platform in 26 seconds. What is the length of the goods train? A.230 m B.240 m C.260 m D.270 m Answer & Explanation Answer: Option D Explanation: Speed = 72 x 5 = 20 m/sec. 18 m/sec

Time = 26 sec. Let the length of the train be x metres. Then, x + 250 = 20 26

x + 250 = 520 x = 270. View Answer Workspace Report Discuss in Forum 13. Two trains, each 100 m long, moving in opposite directions, cross each other in 8 seconds. If one is moving twice as fast the other, then the speed of the faster train is: A.30 km/hr B.45 km/hr C.60 km/hr D.75 km/hr Answer & Explanation Answer: Option C Explanation: Let the speed of the slower train be x m/sec. Then, speed of the faster train = 2x m/sec. Relative speed = (x + 2x) m/sec = 3x m/sec. (100 + 100) = 3x 8 24x = 200 x= 25 . 3 50 m/sec 3

So, speed of the faster train = 50 18 x 3 5 km/hr

= 60 km/hr. View Answer Workspace Report Discuss in Forum 14. Two trains 140 m and 160 m long run at the speed of 60 km/hr and 40 km/hr respectively in opposite directions on parallel tracks. The time (in seconds) which

they take to cross each other, is: A.9 C.10 Answer & Explanation Answer: Option D Explanation:

B.9.6 D.10.8

5 250 Relative speed = (60 + 40) km/hr = 100 x = 18 m/sec 9 m/sec. Distance covered in crossing each other = (140 + 160) m = 300 m. Required time = 300 x 9 54 = sec = 10.8 sec. 250 sec 5

In what time will it pass a man who is running at 6 kmph in the direction opposite to that in which the train is going? A.5 sec B.6 sec C.7 sec D.10 sec Answer & Explanation Answer: Option B Explanation: Speed of train relative to man = (60 + 6) km/hr = 66 km/hr. = 66 x 5 18 m/sec

55 3 m/sec.

3 Time taken to pass the man = 110 x 55 sec = 6 sec. View Answer Workspace Report Discuss in Forum < Prev 1234567Next >
