B.78

C.54

D.84

E.None of these


Answers :

1) Answer: C

They meet x hours after 10 a.m.

Distance covered by A in x hours = 40x km

Distance covered by B in (x – 1) hours = 50 * (x – 1) km

40x + 50 * (x – 1) = 310

40x + 50x – 50 = 310

9x = 360

x = 4

They meet at 2 p.m.


2) Answer: D

Length of the train = x

Speed of train = y

450 + x = y * 5/18 * 28

4050 + 9x = 70y

x = y * 5/18 * 10

9x = 25y

4050 + 25y = 70y

y = 90 kmph

x = 250 m

Required time = [(250 + 200)/90] * 18/5 = 18 seconds


3) Answer: B

Required time = (300 + 360)/((60 + 72) * 5/18)

= 18 seconds


4) Answer: B

Length of train A = x

Length of Tunnel = 2x

Speed of train A = y

x + 2x = y * 5/18 * 18

3x = 5y

x+ 200 = (y + 60) * 5/18 * 9

2x + 400 = 5y + 300

2x + 400 = 3x + 300

x = 100

Length of tunnel = 2 * 100 = 200 m


5) Answer: C

Time taken by the trains to cross each other = (t1 * x + t2 * y)/(x + y)

= (6 * 8 + 6 * 5)/(8 + 5)

= (48 + 30)/13

= 6 seconds


6) Answer: D

Distance = time * speed

Let the time taken by them to meet each other be x then,

95x – 80x = 210

x = 14 h

Required distance = (80 + 95) * 14 = 2450 km


7) Answer: D

Total length (length of train + length of platform) = 140 + 160 = 300 m

Speed of train A = 300/10 = 30 m/s

Speed of train B = 130/100 x 30 = 39 m/s

Time taken by train B to cover the distance = (152 + 160)/39 = 8 seconds


8) Answer: A

Let the length of train A be x,

Length of train B = 2x

Speed = Distance/Time

Required ratio = (x/15): (2x/25) = 5: 6


9) Answer: C

Length of train = x

Speed of train = y

x + 450 = y * 5/18 * 36

x + 450 = 10y

x = y * 5/18 * 18

x = 5y

5y + 450 = 10y

5y = 450

y = 90 kmph


10) Answer: E

Speed of train A = ((180 + 360) * 18/5)/32.4 = 60 kmph

x = ((180 + 220) * 18/5)/(80 – 60)

= 72 seconds

Answers :

11) Answer: C

Speed of train = 36 km/hr = 36 × 5/18 = 10 m/sec

Length = speed × time = 45 × 10 = 450 meter

Let the speed of another train be x m/sec.

Relative speed = 10 + x

Length = 450 + 450 = 900 m

⇒ (10 + x) = 900/30

⇒ x = 20 m/sec

Speed of the other train = 20 × 18/5 = 72 km/hr


12) Answer: D

Let the length of A and B be 5x and 8x respectively and the time taken by the two trains A and B to cross the man be 2t and t respectively.

So the speed of first train = 5x/2t

Now 5x/2t = 40

Or, x/t = 16

Now the speed of train Y is 8x/t= 8*16 = 128km/h


13) Answer: D

Length of train A = x

Length of bridge = x

2x = 60 * 5/18 * 42

x = 350 m

350 + Length of train B = 72 * 5/18 * 40

Length of train B = 450 m


14) Answer: C

Speed of the train A=72*5/18=20 m/sec

Length of the train A=20*18=360 m

Length of the train B=360 m

(20+x)=(360+360)/20

(20+x)=36

x=16 m/sec


15) Answer: E

Length of train B = 4x

Length of train A = 4x * 175/100 = 7x

Speed of train A = y

Speed of train B = z

7x + 150 = y * 5/18 * 20

4x = (z + 30) * 5/18 * 8

We cannot find the answer.


16) Answer: C

3 kmph = 3 * 5/18 = 5/6 m/s

6 kmph = 6 * 5/18 = 5/3 m/s

Length of Kanyakumari express = x m and Speed of Kanyakumari express = y m/s

(x/(y – 5/6)) = 8

=> x = 8y – 20/3 — (I)

(x/(y – 5/3)) = 12

=> x = 12y – 20 — (II)

From (I) and (II), we get y = 10/3 and x = 20 m


17) Answer: C

Length of train = x

Speed of train = y

x = y * 5/18 * 21.6

x = 6y

x = (y + 6) * 5/18 * 20.25

x = 5.625y + 33.75

6y – 5.625y = 33.75

y = 90

x = 90 * 6 = 540

Required time = (540 + 160)/(90 * 5/18) = 700/25

= 28 seconds


18) Answer: E

Length of the train = 5x

Length of the platform = 5x * 140/100 = 7x

Speed of the train = y

7x + 5x = y * 5/18 * 36

12x = 10y

5x = y * 5/18 * 12

15x = 10y

We cannot find the answer.


19) Answer: C

Speed of first train =90*5/18 = 25m/s

Let the speed of second train be a m/s

(360+420)/(25+a) = 12

780/(25+a) = 12

a=40 m/s


20) Answer: C

Speed of train P = x m/s

Length of train P = l m

l = 12x –– (I)

l + 300 = 18x — (II)

From (I) and (II), we get x = 50

l = 600 meters

Speed of Q = 72 * 5/18 = 20 m/s

Length of Q = m meters

m + 600 = (50 + 20) * 10

=> m = 100 meters

Required time = (m + 300)/20

= 400/20 seconds

= 20 seconds
