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 60 = x 1 m/sec 8 5 0 3 m/sec. 5 x 0 9 m = 150 m.

Speed=

Length of the train = (Speed x Time) =

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: 12 Speed of the train relative to man = 5 10 m/sec 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 3. 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 x = 50 km/hr.

C.245 m Answer & Explanation Answer: Option C Explanation: 5 45 = x 1 m/sec 8 2 5 2 m/sec.

D.250 m

Speed =

Time = 30 sec. Let the length of bridge be x metres. Then, 130 + 2 x =5 30 2

2(130 + x) = 750 x = 245 m. 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 C.3 : 4 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 27x + 17y = 23x + 23y 4x = 6y B.3 : 2 D.None of these

x 3 = . y 2 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 C.300 m Answer & Explanation Answer: Option B Explanation: Speed = 5 54 1 x 8 m/sec = 15 m/sec. B.240 m D.None of these

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. 7. Two trains of equal length are running on parallel lines in the same direction at 46 km/hr and 36 km/hr. The faster train passes the slower train in 36 seconds. The length of each train is: A.50 m C.80 m Answer & Explanation Answer: Option A Explanation: Let the length of each train be x metres. Then, distance covered = 2x metres. Relative speed = (46 - 36) km/hr B.72 m D.82 m

5 10 = 1 x 8 m/sec 2 = 5 9 m/sec 2 2 x 5 = 3 9 6 2x = 100

x = 50.

Time and Work

1. A can do a work in 15 days and B in 20 days. If they work on it together for 4 days, then the fraction of the work that is left is : 1 A.4 7 C. 1 5 Answer & Explanation Answer: Option D Explanation: 1 A's 1 day's work = 1 ; 5 1 B's 1 day's work = 2 ; 0 1 1 7 (A + B)'s 1 day's work = 1 + 2 = 6 . 5 0 0 1 B. 1 0 8 D. 1 5

7 x (A + B)'s 4 day's work = 6 4 0 Therefore, Remaining work = 2.

7 =1. 5 7 8 1 1 =1. 5 5

A can lay railway track between two given stations in 16 days and B can do the same job in 12 days. With help of C, they did the job in 4 days only. Then, C alone can do the job in: 1 A.9 days 5 3 C.9 days 5 Answer & Explanation Answer: Option C Explanation: 1 (A + B + C)'s 1 day's work = , 4 1 A's 1 day's work = 1 , 6 1 B's 1 day's work = 1 . 2 1 1 1 1 7 5 C's 1 day's work = - 1 + 1 = - 4 = 4 . 4 4 6 2 8 8 4 3 So, C alone can do the work in 8 = 9 days. 3. A, B and C can do a piece of work in 20, 30 and 60 days respectively. In how many days can A do the work if he is assisted by B and C on every third day? A.12 days C.16 days Answer & Explanation Answer: Option B Explanation: A's 2 day's work = 1 x 2 2 =1. 1 B.15 days D.18 days 2 B.9 days 5 D.10

1 1 1 6 1 (A + B + C)'s 1 day's work = 2 + 3 + 6 = 6 = 1 . 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 Work done in 3 days = 1 + 1 = . 5 0 0 1 Now, work is done in 3 days. 5 Whole work will be done in (3 x 5) = 15 days. 4. A is thrice as good as workman as B and therefore is able to finish a job in 60 days less than B. Working together, they can do it in: A.20 days C.25 days Answer & Explanation Answer: Option B Explanation: Ratio of times taken by A and B = 1 : 3. The time difference is (3 - 1) 2 days while B take 3 days and A takes 1 day. If difference of time is 2 days, B takes 3 days. If difference of time is 60 days, B takes So, A takes 30 days to do the work. 1 A's 1 day's work = 3 0 1 B's 1 day's work = 9 0 1 1 4 2 (A + B)'s 1 day's work = 3 + 9 = 9 = 4 0 0 0 5 4 1 A and B together can do the work in 5 = 22 days. 2 2 5. 3 x 2 60 = 90 days. 21 days 22 D.30 days B.

A alone can do a piece of work in 6 days and B alone in 8 days. A and B undertook to do it for Rs. 3200. With the help of C, they completed the work in 3 days. How much is to be paid to C? A.Rs. 375 C.Rs. 600 Answer & Explanation Answer: Option B Explanation: 1 1 1 1 7 1 C's 1 day's work = - + = - 2 = 2 . 3 6 8 3 4 4 11 1 A's wages : B's wages : C's wages = : : 2 = 4 : 3 : 1. 68 4 31 x C's share (for 3 days) = Rs. = Rs. 400. x 3200 B.Rs. 400 D.Rs. 800
