Question: 6

A train of length 150 m takes 40.5 seconds to cross a tunnel of length of 300 m. The speed of the train (in km/hr) is

(A) 13.33

(B) 26.67

(C) 38.32

(D) 40

Ans: D

Total distance covered = (150 + 300) m = 450 m.

Time taken = $$({81} / {2})$$ seconds

∴ Speed of the train = $$(450 × {2} / {81})$$ m/sec

                             = $$(450 × {2} / {81} × {18} / {5})$$ km/hr

                             = 40 km/hr.

Question: 7

Two trains are moving in the same directions at 65 km/hr and 45 km/hr. The faster train crosses a man in slower train in 18 seconds. The length of the faster train is

(A) 100 m

(B) 120 m

(C) 145 m

(D) 180 m

Ans: A

Relative speed = (65 – 45) km/hr = 20 km/hr.

= $$(20 × {5} / {18})$$ m/sec

= $$({50} / {9})$$ m/sec

Distance covered in 18 sec = $$({50} / {9} × 18)$$ m = 100m.

∴ Length of the train = 100 m.

Question: 8

A man sees a train passing over a bridge 1 km long. The length of the train is half that of the bridge. If the train clears the bridge in 2 minutes, the speed of the train is

(A) 30 km/hr

(B) 40 km/hr

(C) 45 km/hr

(D) 55 km/hr

Ans: C

Length of bridge = 1000 m

Length of train = 500 m

Total distance covered in clearing the bridge = 1500 m

Time taken = 120 seconds

∴ Speed = $$({1500} / {120})$$ m/sec

             = $$({25} / {2} × {18} / {5})$$ km/hr

             = 45 km/hr.

Question: 9

A train 132 m long passes a telegraph pole in 6 seconds. Find the speed of the train

(A) 70 km/hr

(B) 71 km/hr

(C) 72 km/hr

(D) 79.2 km/hr

Ans: D

Speed = $$({132} / {6})$$ m/sec

           = $$(22 × {18} / {5})$$ km/hr

           = 79.2 km/hr.

Question: 10

Two trains are coming from opposite directions with speeds of 75 km/hr and 100 km/hr on two parallel tracks. At some moment the distance between them is 100 km. After T hours, distance between them is again 100 km. T is equal to

(A) 1 hr

(B) $$1{1} / {7}$$

(C) $$1{1} / {2}$$

(D) 2 hrs

Ans: B

Relative speed =(75 + 100) km/hr = 175 km/hr.

Time taken to cover 175 km at relative speed = 1 hr.

∴ T = Time taken to cover 200 km

= $$({1} / {175} × 200)$$hr = $${8} / {7}$$hr = $$1{1} / {7}$$hr.
