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.50 m C.54 m D.72 m Answer & Explanation Answer: Option B Explanation: 5 5 2 kmph = 2 x m/sec = m/sec. 18 9 5 10 4 kmph = 4 x m/sec = m/sec. 18 9 Let the length of the train be x metres and its speed by y m/sec. Then, x 5 = 9 and 10 = 10. yy9 9 x

9y - 5 = x and 10(9y - 10) = 9x 9y - x = 5 and 90y - 9x = 100. On solving, we get: x = 50. Length of the train is 50 m. View Answer Workspace Report Discuss in Forum 28. 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.66 km/hr B.72 km/hr C.78 km/hr D.81 km/hr Answer & Explanation Answer: Option D Explanation: 4.5 km/hr = 4.5 x 5.4 km/hr = 5.4 x 5 5 m/sec = m/sec = 1.25 m/sec, and 18 4 5 3 m/sec = m/sec = 1.5 m/sec. 18 2

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 Speed of the train = 22.5 x 18 km/hr = 81 km/hr. 5

Answer: Option A Explanation: Let the length of the first train be x metres. Then, the length of the second train is x metres. 2

5 Relative speed = (48 + 42) kmph = 90 x m/sec = 25 m/sec. 18 [x + (x/2)] 3x = 12 or = 300 25 2 or x = 200.

Length of first train = 200 m. Let the length of platform be y metres. Speed of the first train = 48 x 3 (200 + y) x = 45 40 600 + 3y = 1800 y = 400 m. View Answer Workspace Report Discuss in Forum 30. 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.9 a.m. B.10 a.m. C.10.30 a.m. D.11 a.m. Answer & Explanation Answer: Option B Explanation: 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. 20x + 25(x - 1) = 110 45x = 135 x = 3. So, they meet at 10 a.m. View Answer Workspace Report Discuss in Forum < Prev 1234567Next > 5 40 m/sec = m/sec. 18 3
