Answers :

1) Answer: D

Length of train = x m

Speed of train = y km/hr

x + 360 = y * 5/18 * 24

3x + 1080 = 20y

x = y * 5/18 * 9.6

18x = 48y

3x = 8y

8y + 1080 = 20y

y = 90 km/hr


2) Answer: B

Length of train = x m

Speed of train = y km/hr

x + 280 = y * 5/18 * 23.2

9x + 2520 = 58y

x = y * 5/18 * 12

3x = 10y

9x + 2520 = 58 * (3x/10)

90x + 25200 = 174x

x = 300 m


3) Answer: D

19x – 16x = 60

x = 20

Length of train A = 20 * 16 = 320 m

Length of train B = 19 * 20 = 380 m

Speed of train A = y km/hr

320 + 380 = (45 + y) * 5/18 * 21

y = 75 km/hr


4) Answer: A

Let L be the length of train and S be the speed in m/s

L = S x 10

Also

L + 440 = S x 32

10S + 440 = 32S

22S = 440

S = 20 m/s

Length of train = 10 x 20 = 200 m

Speed of car = 27 x 5/18 = 7.5 m/s

Time taken by train to cross a car running in same direction as that of train = 200 / (20 – 7.5)

= 16 seconds

Hence answer is option A


5) Answer: D

Let the speed of two trains be X m/s and Y m/s

When two trains crosses each other is opposite direction

Sum of lengths = (X + Y) x 14

When two trains crosses each other in same direction

Sum of lengths = (X – Y) x 182

So, (X + Y) x 14 = (X – Y) x 182

X + Y = 13X – 13Y

X/Y = 7/6

Required % = 1*100/6= 16.66%


6) Answer: C

Speed of train A = 4x

Speed of train B = 5x

Length of train B = 5x * 5/18 * 28.8

= 40x

400 + 40x = (5x – 4x) * 5/18 * (4.4 * 60)

400 + 40x = 220x /3

x = 12

Length of train B = 40 * 12 = 480 m


7) Answer: C

Length of train = x m

Speed of train = y km/hr

x = y * 5/18 * 24

x = 20y/3

x + 520 = y * 5/18 * 50

x + 520 = 125y/9

20y/3 + 520 = 125y/9

y = 72 kmph


8) Answer: B

Speed = Distance/time

24 * 5/18 = (x + 100)/36

=> x = 240 – 100 = 140m = Length of train

Required ratio = 140: 100 = 7: 5


9) Answer: E

Speed of train A = y km/hr

Length of train A = x m

Length of train B = 3x

x = y * 5/18 * 12

3x = 10y

3x + x = (y + 40) * 5/18 * 36

4x = 10y + 400

x = 400

y = 400 * 3/10 = 120


10) Answer: D

Length of train B + 450 = (108 – 54) * 5/18 * 75

Length of train B= 1125 – 450

= 675 m

A.300 m

B.360 m

C.200 m

D.240 m

E.450 m


Answers :

11) Answer: D

Length of train A = x m

Speed of train A = y Kmph

Speed of train B = z Kmph

x + 200 = (y + z) * 5/18 * 18

x + 200 = 5y + 5z

200 + 100 = z * (5/18) * 27

600 = 15z

z = 40 kmph

Speed of man is not given.


12) Answer: B

When train crosses the man,

Speed of the train = 150/20 = 7.5 m/sec

Length of the train + length of the platform = 7.5 x 30 = 225

Length of the platform = 225 – 150 = 75 m


13) Answer: D

Ratio of length = 2:3

Total length of both the train = 5

Length train A = 160

2’s = 160

5’s = 400 meter

Ratio of speed = 3:5

Speed of train A = 3x

Speed of train B = 5x

Relative speed = 8x

Time = distance/speed

20 = 400/8x

x = 5/2 m/sec = 5/2 x 18/5 = 9 km/hr

Speed of train A = 3 x 9 = 27 km/hr

Speed of train B = 5 x 9 = 45 km/hr


14) Answer: E

Length of train A = 4x

Length of train B = 4x *125/100 = 5x

Speed of train B = y

Speed of train A = 2y

4x = (2y + 10) * 5/18 * 14.4

x – 2y = 10

9x = 3y * 5/18 * 25.2

9x = 21y

3x = 7y

(7y/3) – 2y = 10

y = 30

x = 70

Length of train B = 5 * 70 = 350 m


15) Answer: C

x + x – 80 = 90 * 5/18 * 19.2

2x – 80 = 480

x = 280 m

Length of platform = y

280 + y = 60 * 5/18 * 24

y = 120 m

Required time = (200 + 120)/(30 * 5/18) = 38.4 seconds


16) Answer: C

Length of train B = x m

Speed of train A = a Kmph

Speed of train B = b Kmph

200 = a * 5/18 * 8

a = 90 kmph

200 + x = (b + 90) * 5/18 * 12

600 + 3x = (b + 90) * 10

x = b * 5/18 * 18

x = 5b

600 + 3 * (5b) = 10b + 900

5b = 300

b = 60 kmph


17) Answer: C

Length of train = x m

Speed of train = y Kmph

x = y * 5/18 * 10.8

x = 3y

x + 320 = y * 5/18 * 25.2

3y + 320 = 7y

y = 80 kmph

x = 3 * 80 = 240 m

Required time = 240 /((80 – 20) * 5/18) = 14.4 seconds


18) Answer: D

Length of train A = 3x m

Length of train B = 2x m

Speed of train A = a Kmph

Speed of train B = b Kmph

3x + 2x = (b – a) * 5/18 * 60

3x = 10b – 10a

2x = b * 5/18 * 8

9x = 10b

We cannot find the answer.


19) Answer: A

Let the length of the train = x m

Length of the train = Length of the platform

90 X 5/18 = 25m/sec

According to the question,

2x/25 = 60

2x = 25 x 60

X = 750m


20) Answer: A

Length of train = x m

Speed of train = y kmph

x = y * 5/18 * 18

x = 5y

x + 450 = y * 5/18 * 45

5y + 450 = 12.5y

y = 60

x = 60 * 5 = 300 m

Answers :

21) 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


22) Answer: B

Length of train A + 280 = 72 * 5/18 * 38

Length of train A = 480 m

Length of train B = 480 – 80 = 400 m

400 + 100 = Speed of train B * 5/18 * 30

Speed of train B = 60 kmph

Required difference = 72 – 60 = 12 kmph


23) Answer: D

Length of train = x

Speed of train = y

x + 360 = y * 5/18 * 32

9x + 3240 = 80y

x = y * 5/18 * 17.6

9x = 44y

44y + 3240 = 80y

y = 90 kmph


24) Answer: B

Speed of train A = 4x

Speed of train B = 4x * 125/100 = 5x

Length of train A = y

y = 4x * 5/18 * 18

y = 20x

20x + 240 = (5x – 4x) * 5/18 * 120

60x + 240 * 3 = 100x

x = 18

Length of train A = 18 * 20 = 360 m


25) Answer: C

Length of train = x

Speed of train = y

x = y * 5/18 * 20.25

x = 5.625y

x + 150 = y * 5/18 * 27

2x + 300 = 15y

5.625y * 2 + 300 = 15y

y = 80 kmph


26) Answer: A

Length of the train=x

(x+420)=90*5/18*36

x=480 m

Speed of the train is decreased by 16.67%=90*5/6=75 m/s

Required time=(480+240)/75=720/75=9.6 seconds


27) Answer: A

Length of train = (24 + 24 * 2) * 5/18 * 18

= 360 m

Required time = (360 + 140)/(24 * 2) * 5/18

= 37.5 seconds


28) Answer: D

Speed of train A = 3x

Speed of train B = 400/300 * 3x = 4x

Length of train A = y

Length of train B = z

y = 3x * 5/18 * 21.6

y = 18x

y + z = (4x – 3x) * 5/18 * 108

y + z = 30x

z = 30x – 18x = 12x

Required time = 12x/4x * 5/18 = 10.8 seconds


29) Answer: A

Speed of train A=50*4/5=40 kmph

Relative speed=40+50=90 kmph

Time taken by both trains A and B to cross each other=x

160+240=90*5/18*x

400*18/5*1/90=x

x=16 seconds


30) Answer: D

Length of train A=4x

Length of train B=5x

Let speed of train A =y

4x=y*5/18*24

3x=5y

4x+5x=(y+54)*5/18*21.6

3x=(2y+54*2)

3x=2y+108

y=36 kmph
