In what time will a train 100 meters long cross an electric pole, if its speed is 144 km/hr

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

As we need to calculate answer in seconds, so first convert speed into meter/sec.

we know 1 km/hr = 1*(5/18) m/sec
So, Speed = 132* (5/18) = 110/3 m/sec

Distance need to be covered in passing the platform =
Length of train + length of platform = 110 + 165
= 275 meters

Time = Distance/Speed

\begin{aligned}
=> Time = 275* \frac{3}{110} = \frac{15}{2} \\
= 7.5 seconds
\end{aligned}

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Distance covered = 120+120 = 240 m
Time = 12 s

Let the speed of each train = x.
Then relative velocity = x+x = 2x

2x = distance/time = 240/12 = 20 m/s

Speed of each train = x = 20/2 = 10 m/s

= 10*18/5 km/hr = 36 km/hr

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Let the length of bridge is X [as always we do :)]
Speed of train is = 45*(5/18) m/sec = 25/2 m/sec
Time = 30 seconds

Total distance = 130+x
We know Speed = distance/time
so,
\begin{aligned}
\frac{130+x}{30} = \frac{25}{2} \\
=> 2(130+x) = 750 \\
x = 245 \text{ meters}
\end{aligned}

So length of the bridge is 245 meters

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:

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}
