A.45 km/hr C.54 km/hr Answer & Explanation Answer: Option B Explanation: Speed of the train relative to man = 25 2 m/sec. 25 18 x 2 5 km/hr

B.50 km/hr D.55 km/hr

125 10 m/sec

= 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.

The length of the bridge, which a train 130 metres long and travelling at 45 km/hr can cross in 30 seconds, is: A.200 m B.225 m C.245 m D.250 m Answer & Explanation Answer: Option C Explanation: 5 25 = Speed = 45 x 18 m/sec 2 m/sec. Time = 30 sec. Let the length of bridge be x metres. Then, 130 + x 25 = 30 2

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 + 17y = 23 x+ y
