Question Detail
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
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. A train is moving at a speed of 132 km/hour. If the length of the train is 110 meters, how long will it take to cross a railway platform 165 meters long.
- 7 second
- 7.5 second
- 8 second
- 8.5 second
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}
3. Two trains are running in opposite directions in the same speed. The length of each train is 120 meter. If they cross each other in 12 seconds, the speed of each train (in km/hr) is
- 30 Km/hr
- 36 Km/hr
- 80 Km/hr
- 90 Km/hr
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
4. 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
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
