Question Detail
A 270 metres long train running at the speed of 120 kmph crosses another train running in opposite direction at the speed of 80 kmph in 9 seconds. What is the length of the other train?
- 220 meter
- 225 meter
- 230 meter
- 235 meter
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
As trains are running in opposite directions so their relative speed will get added
So, Relative speed = 120 +80 = 200 kmph
= 200*(5/18) = 500/9 m/sec
Let the length of other train is x meter then
\begin{aligned}
\frac{x+270}{9} = \frac{500}{9} \\
=> x+270 = 500\\
=> x = 230
\end{aligned}
So the length of the train is 230 meters
1. Two trains running in opposite directions cross a man standing on the platform in 27 seconds and 17 seconds respectively and they cross each other in 23 seconds. The ratio of their speeds is ?
- 1:3
- 3:2
- 3:5
- 3:7
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Let the speeds of the two trains be x m/sec and y m/sec respectively.
Then, length of the first train = 27x metres,
Length of the second train = 17y metres.
[because distance = speed*time]
\begin{aligned}
\frac{27x+17y}{x+y} = 23 \\
=> 27x + 17y = 23x + 23y \\
=> 4x = 6y \\
=> \frac{x}{y} = \frac{6}{4}
\end{aligned}
So ratio of the speeds of train is 3:2
2. A 270 metres long train running at the speed of 120 kmph crosses another train running in opposite direction at the speed of 80 kmph in 9 seconds. What is the length of the other train?
- 220 meter
- 225 meter
- 230 meter
- 235 meter
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
As trains are running in opposite directions so their relative speed will get added
So, Relative speed = 120 +80 = 200 kmph
= 200*(5/18) = 500/9 m/sec
Let the length of other train is x meter then
\begin{aligned}
\frac{x+270}{9} = \frac{500}{9} \\
=> x+270 = 500\\
=> x = 230
\end{aligned}
So the length of the train is 230 meters
3. How many seconds will a 500 meter 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
- 25 Seconds
- 28 Seconds
- 30 Seconds
- 35 Seconds
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Relative Speed = 63-3 = 60 Km/hr
= 60 *(5/18) = 50/3 m/sec
Time taken to pass the man will ne
\begin{aligned}
500*\frac{3}{50} = 30 \text{ seconds}
\end{aligned}
4. Two trains of equal length are running on parallel lines in the same direction at 46 km/hr and 36 km/hr. The faster train passes the slower train in 36 seconds. The length of each train is ?
- 40 meter
- 45 meter
- 50 meter
- 55 meter
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Let the length of each train is x meter
Distance will be x+x = 2x
Relative Speed = 46-36 = 10 km/hr
= 10*(5/18) = 25/9 m/sec
Distance = Speed*Time
\begin{aligned}
2x = \frac{25}{9}*36 \\
2x = 100 \\
=> x = 50
\end{aligned}
So length of both the trains are 50 meters
5. 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. Find the length of train ?
- 45 m
- 50 m
- 55 m
- 60 m
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
First person speed = 2*(5/18) = 5/9 m/sec
Second person speed = 4*(5/18) = 10/9 m/sec
Let the length of train is x metre and speed is y m/sec
then,
\begin{aligned}
\frac{x}{y-\frac{5}{9}} = 9 \\
=> 9y-5 = x \\
=> 9y-x = 5 .....(i) \\
Also, \\
\frac{x}{y-\frac{10}{9}} = 10 \\
90y-9x = 100 .....(ii)\\
\text{from (i) and (ii), we get,} \\
x=50
\end{aligned}
So length of train is 50 metre
