Question Detail
A train, 800 meter long is running with a speed of 78 km/hr. It crosses a tunnel in 1 minute. What is the length of the tunnel ?
- 650 meter
- 555 meter
- 500 meter
- 458 meter
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Let length of tunnel is x meter
Distance = 800+x meter
Time = 1 minute = 60 seconds
Speed = 78 km/hr = 78*5/18 m/s = 65/3 m/s
Distance = Speed*Time
\begin{aligned}
=> 800+x = \frac{65}{3}*60 \\
=> 800+x = 20*65 = 1300 \\
=> x = 1300 - 800 = 500 \\
\end{aligned}
So the length of the tunnel is 500 meters.
[If you want to calculate it practically, then please have your copy and pen and take a ride of Kalka to Shimla toy train in north India. It has many tunnels on the way :) ]
1. Two trains 140 m and 160 m long run at the speed of 60 km/hr and 40 km/hr respectively in opposite directions on parallel tracks. The time which they take to cross each other, is
- 9.8 seconds
- 10.8 seconds
- 11.8 seconds
- 12.8 seconds
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Relative Speed = 60+40 = 100 kmph
= 100*(5/18) = 250/9 m/sec
Distance = 140+160 = 300 meters
Time = Distance/Speed
\begin{aligned}
300*\frac{9}{250} = \frac{54}{5} \\
= 10.8 \text{ seconds}
\end{aligned}
So the time trains will take to cross each other will be 10.8 seconds
2. Two trains 140 metre and 160 metre long run at the speed of 60 km/hr and 40 km/hr respectively in opposite direction on parallel tracks. What time these will take to cross each other ?
- 10.7 Seconds
- 10.8 Seconds
- 10.9 Seconds
- 11.8 Seconds
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Relative Speed = 60+40 = 100 Kmph
= 100*(5/18) = 250/9 m/sec
Distance to be covered = 140 + 160 = 300 metres
Time = Distance/Speed
\begin{aligned}
Time = 300*\frac{9}{250} \\
= \frac{54}{5} = 10.8\text{ seconds}
\end{aligned}
3. A jogger running at 9 kmph alongside a railway track is 240 metres ahead of the engine of a 120 metre long train running at 45 kmph in the same direction. In how much time will the train pass the jogger ?
- 30 seconds
- 32 seconds
- 34 seconds
- 36 seconds
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
Speed of train relative to jogger = (45-9) = 36 kmph
= 36*(5/18) = 10 m/sec
Distance to cover = 240 + 120 = 360 metres
Time = Distance/Speed
So,
\begin{align}
Time = \frac{360}{10} = 36 \text{ Seconds}
\end{align}
4. A train is 360 meter long is running at a speed of 45 km/hour. In what time will it pass a bridge of 140 meter length.
- 20 seconds
- 30 seconds
- 40 seconds
- 50 seconds
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Speed = 45 Km/hr = 45*(5/18) m/sec
= 25/2 m/sec
Total distance = 360+140 = 500 meter
Time = Distance/speed
\begin{aligned}
= 500*\frac{2}{25} = 40 seconds
\end{aligned}
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
