How many seconds will a 500 metre 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? A.25 B.30 C.40 D.45 Answer & Explanation Answer: Option B Explanation: Speed of the train relative to man= (63 - 3) km/hr = 60 km/hr 5 = 60 x m/sec 18 50 = m/sec. 3 3 Time taken to pass the man = 500 x sec 50 = 30 sec.

View Answer Workspace Report Discuss in Forum 22. Two goods train each 500 m long, are running in opposite directions on parallel tracks. Their speeds are 45 km/hr and 30 km/hr respectively. Find the time taken by the slower train to pass the driver of the faster one. A.12 sec B.24 sec C.48 sec D.60 sec Answer & Explanation Answer: Option B Explanation: Relative speed == (45 + 30) km/hr 5 = 75 x m/sec 18 125 m/sec. = 6 We have to find the time taken by the slower train to pass the DRIVER of the faster train and not the complete train. So, distance covered = Length of the slower train. Therefore, Distance covered = 500 m. Required time = 500 x 6 = 24 sec. 125

View Answer Workspace Report Discuss in Forum 23. Two trains are running in opposite directions with the same speed. If the length of each train is 120 metres and they cross each other in 12 seconds, then the speed of each train (in km/hr) is: A.10 B.18 C.36 D.72 Answer & Explanation Answer: Option C Explanation: Let the speed of each train be x m/sec. Then, relative speed of the two trains = 2x m/sec. So, 2x = (120 + 120) 12

2x = 20 x = 10. 18 Speed of each train = 10 m/sec = 10 x km/hr = 36 km/hr. 5 View Answer Workspace Report Discuss in Forum 24. Two trains of equal lengths take 10 seconds and 15 seconds respectively to cross a telegraph post. If the length of each train be 120 metres, in what time (in seconds) will they cross each other travelling in opposite direction? A.10 B.12 C.15 D.20 Answer & Explanation Answer: Option B Explanation: Speed of the first train = 120 m/sec = 12 m/sec. 10

Speed of the second train =

120 m/sec = 8 m/sec. 15

Relative speed = (12 + 8) = 20 m/sec. Required time = (120 + 120) sec = 12 sec. 20

View Answer Workspace Report Discuss in Forum 25. A train 108 m long moving at a speed of 50 km/hr crosses a train 112 m long coming from opposite direction in 6 seconds. The speed of the second train is: A.48 km/hr B.54 km/hr C.66 km/hr D.82 km/hr Answer & Explanation Answer: Option D Explanation: Let the speed of the second train be x km/hr. Relative speed= (x + 50) km/hr 5 = (x + 50) x m/sec 18 250 + 5x = m/sec. 18 Distance covered = (108 + 112) = 220 m. 220 250 + 5x = 6 18 250 + 5x = 660 x = 82 km/hr.
