A 300-meter long train crosses a platform in 39 seconds while it crosses a signal pole in 18 seconds. What is the length of the platform
345 meters
350 meters
310 meters
335 meters
Answer with explanation
Answer: Option BExplanation
Speed = Distance/time = 300/18 = 50/3 m/sec
Let the length of the platform be x meters

A train crosses a platform of 150 m in 15 sec, the same train crosses another platform of length 250 m in 20 sec. then find the length of the train?
150 m
148 m
136 m
124 m
Answer with explanation
Answer: Option AExplanation
Length of the train be ‘X’
X + 150/15 = X + 250/20
4X + 600 = 3X + 750
X = 150m

Two trains are running in opposite directions in the same speed. The length of each train is 120 metre. If they cross each other in 12 seconds, the speed of each train (in km/hr) is
36
42
20
28
Answer with explanation
Answer: Option AExplanation
Distance covered =(120+120)=240 metre
Time =12 seconds
Relative speed in this case is the sum of the speeds of the trains and each train has same speed, speed of each train

A train is 360 meter long is running at a speed of 45 km/hour. In what time will it pass a bridge of 140 meter length?
30 sec
40 sec
20 sec
50 sec
Answer with explanation
Answer: Option BExplanation
Speed = 45 Km/hr = 45*(5/18) m/sec = 25/2 m/sec
Total distance = 360+140 = 500 meter
Time = Distance/speed
= 500 * (2/25) = 40 seconds

A train, 800 meters long is running with a speed of 78 km/hr. It crosses a tunnel in 1 minute. What is the length of the tunnel?
555 meter
458 meter
650 meter
500 meter
Answer with explanation
Answer: Option DExplanation
Let length of tunnel is x meter
Distance = 800+x meter
Time = 1 minute = 60 seconds
Speed = 78 km/hr = 78*5/18 m/s = 65/3 m/s
Distance = Speed*Time
So the length of the tunnel is 500 meters.

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:
10.8
10
9.6
9
Answer with explanation
Answer: Option AExplanation
Relative speed = (60 + 40) km/hr =[ 100 x ( 5 / 18 ) ]m/sec = ( 250 /9 ) m/sec.
Distance covered in crossing each other = (140 + 160) m = 300 m.
Required time = [ 300 x ( 9/250 ) ] sec = ( 54/ 5 )sec = 10.8 sec.
