According to the question,
5 150+x
90 × =
18 26
=> 25 × 26 = 150 + x
=> 650 = 150 + x
Therefore, x = 500 m

A). 120 m
B). 150 m
C). 200 m
D). 300 m
 View Answer
Let length of the train be x m.
Relative length of the train = (x + 600) m
x+600

speed of 15 km/h.
A). 80 km/h
B). 105 km/h
C). 75 km/h
D). 100 km/h
 View Answer
Relative speed of train
= Speed of train + Speed of car
=> 90 = Speed of train + 15
Therefore, Speed of train = 90 - 15 = 75 km/h

36 36 5
Relative Speed of train = Speed of train + Speed of man
=> 40 = Speed of train + 20
Therefore, Speed of train = 40 - 20 = 20 km/h
15). A 280 m long train crosses a platform which is three times of its length, in 6 min 40 s. What is the speed of the train?
A). 3.2 m/s
B). 1.4 m/s
C). 2.8 m/s
D). Cannot be determined
 View Answer
Correct Answer: 2.8 m/s
Length of the train = 280 m
Length of the platform = 280 x 3 = 840 m
Taken time = 6 min 40 s

 View Answer
Let the speed of the train be x.
(x + 10) × 12 = (x + 20) × 10
=> 6x + 60 = 5x + 100
=> x = 100 − 60 = 40m/s
Therefore, Length of the train = (x + 10 × 12)
= (40 + 10) × 12 = 600 m
18). A train A is 180 m long, while another train B is 240 m long. A has a speed of 30 km/h and B's speed is 40 km/h. If the trains move in opposite directions, find when will

28). The distance between two stations P and Q is 145 km. A train with speed of 25 km/h leaves station at 8:00 am towards station Q. Another train with speed of 35 km/h
leaves station Q at 9:00 am towards station P. Then, at what time both trains meet?
A). 10:00 AM
B). 11:00 AM
C). 12:00 AM
D). 11:30 AM
 View Answer
Correct Answer: 11:00 AM
First train leaves at 8:00 am and second at 9:00 am.
So, first train i.e., from P to Q has covered 25 km distance in 1 h.
So, distance left between the station = 145 - 25 = 120 km.
Now, trains are travelling in opposite directions.
So, relative speed = 25 + 35 = 60 km/h
120
Time taken to cover 120 km = =2h

Thererfore, The time, at which both the trains will meet,
is 2 h after second train left, i.e., 9:00 am = 2 h = 11:00 am.

A). 150 km
B). 157 km
C). 165 km
D). 168 km
 View Answer
Let speed of train be x km/hr.
Therefore, Distance covered in 8 hrs = 8x km
Now, new speed of train = (x + 3) km/hr
Therefore, Distance covered in 8 - 1 = 7 hrs = 7 (x + 3) km
Therefore, 8x = 7 (x + 3) = 7x + 21
x = 21
Therefore, Distance covered by train = 8x = 8 × 21 = 168 km.

Correct Answer: 17 km/h, 23 km/h
Let the speed of both trains be x km/h and (x + 6) km/h, respectively.
Then, according to the question,
160 = x × 4 + (x + 6) × 4

Therefore, x = 17
Hence, speeds of both the trains are 17 km/h and (17 + 6) km/h

84). A train P starts from Mokama at 5:00 pm and reaches Hazipur at 6.00 pm. An another train Q starts from Hziipur at 5:00 pm and reaches Mokama at 6:30 pm. At what
time, two trains will cross each other?
A). 5:36 pm
B). 4:36 pm
C). 6:00 pm
D). 7:00 pm
 View Answer
Correct Answer: 5:36 pm
Let the distance between Mokama and Hazipur be x km.
Time taken by train P to cover x km = 1 h
3
Time taken by train Q to cover x km = h
2
Therefore, Speed of train P = x km/h

Correct Answer: 90
Let the length of the train = l metre

A). 375 m
B). 300 m.
C). 350 m.
D). 325 m.

∴ 550 metre = total distance
Hence,
550 metre = length of the trains + length of bridge
550 metre = 200m + length of bridge
Length of bridge = 350 metres.

196). How much time does a train 50 m long, moving at 68 km/hr takes to pass another train 75 m long moving at 50 km/ hr in the same direction ?
A). 5 seconds
B). 10 seconds
C). 20 seconds
D). 25 seconds
 View Answer
Total discovered by the length of both trains

∴ (Speed subtracted in same direction)
then, the time to cross other will be

of the faster train is :
A). 70
B). 100
C). 128
D). 140
 View Answer
Correct Answer: 140
In this question it is given that A man who sits in the slower train cross the faster train it means faster train cross the man in 18second
Relative speed of faster train and man in the same direction = 58 − 30 = 28kmph
So distance covered by faster train in 18 seconds = 28kmph × 18sec.

199). A walks at a uniform rate of 4 km an hour; and 4 hours after his start, B bicycles after him at the uniform rate of 10 km an hour. How far from the starting point will B
catch A ?
A). 16.7 km
B). 18.6 km
C). 21.5 km
D). 26.7 km
 View Answer
∴ Distance = T ime × S peed
A covers the distance with the uniform rate of 4 km/hr in 4 hours is=4 × 4 = 16km
B's speed = 10 km/hr
Their relative speed in same direction = (10 − 4) kmph
=6 km/ h
After 4 hour, B will cover the distance with Relative speed 6 km per hour .
then, 16 km, will be covered by B in
16km
= = 2.67h
6k/h
i.e B will have chased A in 2.67h
then B will cover in 2.67 hours with the speed of 10 km/h
=2.67 × 10=26.7 km.
∴ B will cover 26.7 km from starting point.
200). A train passes two persons walking in the same direction at a speed of 3 km/hr and 5 km/ hr respectively in 10 seconds and 11 seconds respectively. The speed of the
train is
A). 28 km/hour
B). 27km/hour
C). 25 km/hour
D). 24km/hour
 View Answer
Products of time x speed is always subtracted if both the men are running in the same direction and the products of time x speed is added only if the men are running
opposite direction.
Here train's direction is not considered.
But attention please =Always divided by the difference of time.

266). A man walks a certain distance in certain time. if he had gone 3 km per hour faster. he would have taken 1 hour less than the scheduled time. If he had gone 2 km per
hour slower, he would have taken one hour longer on the road. The distance (in km) is:
A). 60
B). 45
C). 65
D). 80
 View Answer
Correct Answer: 60
Let the speed =x km/hr
and, time =y hr.
A.T.Q
x × y = (x + 3) (y − 1)
xy = xy + 3y − x − 3
x − 3y = −3........(i)
also,x × y = (x − 2) (y + 1)
xy = xy − 2y + x − 2
x − 2y = 2 ........(ii)
Solve equation (i) and (ii)
x =12, y = 5
Distance = speed × time
= 12 × 5 =60 km

268). Two trains start from station A and B and travel towards each other at speed of 50 km/hr and 60 km/hr respectively. At the time of their meeting, the second train has
travelled 120 km more than the first. The distance between A and B is
A). 990 km
B). 1200 km
C). 1320 km
D). 1440 km
 View Answer
The second train has travelled 120 km more than the first train only because the speed of the second train is 10 km/h. more than the first train and their starting time is
same.
Time taken by the second train to cover 120 kms with the surplus speed of 10 km/h
120
= = 12 hrs
10
i.e. time, taken by the both train before meeting point in opposite direction = 12 hrs.
Their relative speed in oppo. direction
=(50 + 60) km/h = 110 km/hr
Total distance covered by them
=12 × 110= 1320
So the distance between A and B= 1320 km

306). A car can finish a certain journey in 10 hours at a speed of 42 kmph. In order to cover the same
distance in 7 hours, the speed of the car (km/h) must be increased by:
A). 12
B). 15
C). 18
D). 24
 View Answer
Correct Answer: 18
Total distance = 42 × 10= 420 km
New given time = 7 hr
420
and, required new speed = = 60 km/h

∴ Required increase in speed
= 60 − 42=18 km/hr
307). A man travels 450 km to his home partly by train and partly by car. He takes 8 hrs 40 min if he travels
240 km by train. and rest by car. he takes 20 mins more if he travels 180 km by train and the rest by car.
The speed of the car in km / hr is

A). 45
B). 50
C). 60
D). 48
 View Answer
Correct Answer: 45
Train Car
240 210 = 8 h 40 min.
180 270 = 9 h
To travel extra 60 km by car increase in time = 20 min
So, travel extra 240 km by car increase in time = 80 min
∴ 450 km by car in=8h40min + 80min = 10 h
450
Speed of car = = 45km/h

308). A train 'B' speeding with 100 kmph crosses another train C, running in the same direction, in 2 mins.
If the length of the train B and C be 150m and 250m respectively, what is the speed of the train C
(in kmph)?
A). 75
B). 88
C). 95
D). 110
 View Answer
Correct Answer: 88
Let speed of c = x km/h
total distance = 150 + 250 = 400
m = 0.4 km

time= 2 min= h
30
Hence, relative speed
=(100 − x) km/h

12=100 − x
x = 88 km/h

312). A and B are 15 km apart and when travelling towards each other meet after half an hour where as
they meet two and a half hours later if they travel in the same direction. The faster of the two travels
at the speed of
A). 15 km
B). 18 km
C). 10km
D). 8 km
