A train overtakes two persons who are walking in the same direction in which the train is going, at the rate of 2 kmph and 4 kmph and passes them completely in 9 and 10 seconds respectively. The length of the train is: 

   A.) 45 m
   B.) 55 m
   C.) 50 m
   D.) 65 m

Answer: Option 'C'

2 kmph = (2 x 5/18) m/sec = 5/9 m/sec.
4 kmph = (4 x 5/18 m/sec = 10/9 m/sec.
Let the length of the train be x metres and its speed by y m/sec.
Then, ( x/(y - 5) = 9 and ( x/(y - 10) = 10.
Therefore 9y - 5 = x and 10(9y - 10) = 9x
=> 9y - x = 5 and 90y - 9x = 100.
On solving, we get: x = 50.

Two stations A and B are 110 km apart on a straight line. One train starts from A at 7 a.m. and travels towards B at 20 kmph. Another train starts from B at 8 a.m. and travels towards A at a speed of 25 kmph. At what time will they meet? 

   A.) 10 a.m.
   B.) 11 a.m.
   C.) 8 a.m.
   D.) 9 a.m.

Answer: Option 'A'

Suppose they meet x hours after 7 a.m.
Distance covered by A in x hours = 20x km.
Distance covered by B in (x - 1) hours = 25(x - 1) km.
Therefore 20x + 25(x - 1) = 110
=> 45x = 135
=> x = 3.
So, they meet at 10 a.m.

A train overtakes two persons walking along a railway track. The first one walks at 4.5 km/hr. The other one walks at 5.4 km/hr. The train needs 8.4 and 8.5 seconds respectively to overtake them. What is the speed of the train if both the persons are walking in the same direction as the train?

   A.) 96 km/hr
   B.) 81 km/hr
   C.) 51 km/hr
   D.) 76 km/hr

Answer: Option 'B'

4.5 km/hr = ( 4.5 x 5/18 ) m/sec = 5/4 m/sec = 1.25 m/sec, and
5.4 km/hr = ( 5.4 x 5/18 ) m/sec = 3/2 m/sec = 1.5 m/sec.
Let the speed of the train be x m/sec.
Then, (x - 1.25) x 8.4 = (x - 1.5) x 8.5
=> 8.4x - 10.5 = 8.5x - 12.75
=> 0.1x = 2.25
=> x = 22.5
Therefore Speed of the train = ( 22.5 x 18/5 ) km/hr = 81 km/hr.

A train travelling at 48 kmph completely crosses another train having half its length and travelling in opposite direction at 42 kmph, in 12 seconds. It also passes a railway platform in 45 seconds. The length of the platform is 

   A.) 560 m
   B.) 400 m
   C.) 450 m
   D.) 600 m

Answer: Option 'B'

Let the length of the first train be x metres.
Then, the length of the second train is (x/2) metres
Relative speed = (48 + 42) kmph
= ( 90 x 5/18 ) m/sec
= 25 m/sec.
Therefore, Time = Length of two trains / Relative speed
=> 12 = [ x + x/2)] / 25
=> 12 = [3x / 2] / 25
=> 3x/2 = 300
=> x = 200
Therefore Length of first train = x = 200 m.
Let the length of platform be y metres.
Speed of the first train = ( 48 x 5/18 ) m/sec
= 40/3 m/sec
Given, the first trainpasses a railway platform in 45 seconds.
Therefore, Time = (Length of the first train + Length of the platform) / speed of the first train
=> (200 + y) x 3/40 = 45
=> 600 + 3y = 1800
=> y = 400 m
So,length of platform = y = 400 m

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.) 72
   D.) 36

Answer: Option 'D'

Given, Length of each train = 120 metres.
Let the speed of each train be x m/sec.
Then, relative speed of the two trains = x + x = 2x m/sec.
So, Speed = Distance / Time
=> Relative Speed of two trains = (Sum of length of two trains) / Time taken to cross each other.
=> 2x = (120 + 120 ) / 12
=> 2x = 20
=> x = 10.
Therefore,Speed of each train = 10 m/sec = ( 10 x 18/5 ) km/hr = 36 km/hr.

How many seconds will a 500 m 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.) 30
   B.) 25
   C.) 40
   D.) 45

Answer: Option 'A'

Given, Length of the train = 500 m
Speed of the man = 3 km/hr
Speed of the train = 63 km/hr
Time taken by the train to cross a man = Length of the train / (speed of the train – speed of the man)
=> Time = 500 m / (63 – 3) km/hr
=> Time = 500 m / 60 km/hr
(to convert 60 km/hr to m/sec)
=> Time = 500 m / [60 * (5/18) m/sec]
=> Time = {500 / [60 * (5/18)]} sec
=> Time = {(500 * 18) / (60 * 5)} sec
=> Time = 30 sec

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.) 180 m
   B.) 200 m
   C.) 240 m
   D.) 300 m

Answer: Option 'C'

Given, time taken by train to pass the man = 20 sec
Speed of the train = 54 km/hr
---> Converting into meter/sec
=> Speed of train =54 * (5/18) m/sec = 15 m/sec
W.K.T: Speed of train = Length of train/ Time taken by train to pass the man
=> 15 =Length of train / 20
=>Length of train = 15 * 20
=>Length of train = 300 metre.
Given,A train passes a station platform in 36 seconds.
=>Speed of train = (Length of train + Length of platform) / Time taken by train to pass the platform
=> 15 = (300 +Length of platform) / 36
=> 15 * 36 = (300+Length of platform)
=> 540 =300+Length of platform
=> 540 - 300 =Length of platform
Thus,Length of platform = 240 meter.

A train 800 m long is running at a speed of 78 km/hr. If it crosses a tunnel in 1 minute, then the length of the tunnel is:

   A.) 540 m
   B.) 130 m
   C.) 500 m
   D.) 260 m

Answer: Option 'C'

Given, Length of the train = 800 m
Speed of the train = 78 km/hr (convert km/hr to m/sec)
= 78 × (5/18) m /sec
= 21.667 m /sec
=> Speed of the train = 21.667 m /sec
Time taken by the train to cross the tunnel = 1 min = 60 sec
To find the length of the tunnel:
Time taken by train to cross tunnel = (Length of tunnel + Length of train) / speed of the train
=> 60 = (Length of tunnel + 800) / 21.667
=> 60 × 21.667 = Length of tunnel + 800
=> 1300 = Length of tunnel + 800
=> 1300 – 800 = Length of tunnel
=> 500 = Length of tunnel
Thus, the Length of tunnel = 500 m

A train 360 m long is running at a speed of 45 km/hr. In what time will it pass a bridge 140 m long?

   A.) 48 seconds
   B.) 42 seconds
   C.) 40 seconds
   D.) 45 seconds

Answer: Option 'C'

Given, Length of train =360 m
Length of bridge =140 m
Speed of train = 45 km/hr ---> Converting into meter/ second
= 45 × (5/18) m / sec
= 12.5 m/sec
=>Speed of train =12.5 m/sec
Required Time =(Length of train + Length of bridge) /Speed of train
= (360 + 140) / 12.5
= 500 / 12.5
= 40 sec
=>Required Time =40 sec

How much time does a train 110 metres long running at the speed of 72 km/hr take to cross a bridge 132 metres in length?

   A.) 14.3 seconds
   B.) 12.1 seconds
   C.) 9.8 seconds
   D.) 12.42 seconds

Answer: Option 'B'

Given, Length of train = 110 meter
Speed of train =72 km/hr
Length of bridge =132 metre
---> Converting Speed from km/hr into m/sec
=>Speed of train = 72 × (5/18) m/sec
= 4 × 5
20 m/sec
Formula:-Time taken by train to cross the bridge = (Length of the train + Length of the bridge) /Speed of train
= (110 + 132) / 20
= 242/ 20
= 12.1 sec
Thus,Time taken by train to cross the bridge =12.1 seconds

A train 280 m long, running with a speed of 63 km/hr will pass a tree in:

   A.) 15 seconds
   B.) 20 seconds
   C.) 16 seconds
   D.) 18 seconds

Answer: Option 'C'

Given
Length of the train = 280 m
Speed of the train = 63 km / hr
---> To convertkm/hr to m/sec multiply speed with (5 / 18)
= 63 x (5 / 18) m/sec
= 17.5 m/sec
ThereforeSpeed of the train =17.5m/sec
Now,Time taken by the train tocross an electric pole =Length of the train/Speed of the train
= 280/17.5
16 sec
The time taken is16 sec.
