A train speeds past a pole in 15 seconds and a platform 100 meter long in 25 seconds. What is length of the train ?

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

As Trains are moving in same direction,
So, Relative Speed = 40-20 = 20 kmph
= 20*(5/18) = 50/9 m/sec

Length of Train= Speed * Time

$$\begin{aligned} Length = \frac{50}{9}*5 \\ = \frac{250}{9} \\ =27\frac{7}{9} \end{aligned}$$

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

First convert speed from km/hr to m/sec

So, Speed = 72*(5/18) = 20 m/sec
Time = 26 seconds

Let the length of the train be x meters.
We know, Distance = Speed*Time.
[you can remember this formula as remembering DUST = D*ST... Distance=Speed*Time]

x+250 = 20*26
=> x = 270 meters

So length of the goods train is 270 meter

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

First convert speed into m/sec

Speed = 144*(5/18) = 40 m/sec

Time = Distance/speed
= 100/40 = 2.5 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

$$\begin{aligned} Time = 300*\frac{9}{250} \\ = \frac{54}{5} = 10.8\text{ seconds} \end{aligned}$$

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,
$$\begin{align} Time = \frac{360}{10} = 36 \text{ Seconds} \end{align}$$
