- Train and Pole
1. A 180 m long train crosses a pole in 12 seconds. Its speed is:
- A. 12 m/s
- B. 15 m/s (Correct)
- C. 18 m/s
- D. 20 m/s
Explanation: Speed = train length / time = 180/12 = 15 m/s.
- Train and Platform
2. A 150 m train crosses a 250 m platform in 20 seconds. Speed of the train is:
- A. 15 m/s
- B. 18 m/s
- C. 20 m/s (Correct)
- D. 25 m/s
Explanation: Total distance = 150 + 250 = 400 m. Speed = 400/20 = 20 m/s.
- Relative Speed
3. Two trains of lengths 120 m and 180 m run in opposite directions at 36 km/h and 54 km/h. Time taken to cross each other is:
- A. 10 s
- B. 12 s (Correct)
- C. 14 s
- D. 16 s
Explanation: Relative speed = 90 km/h = 25 m/s. Total length = 300 m. Time = 300/25 = 12 s.
- Relative Speed
4. Two trains of lengths 200 m and 160 m run in the same direction at 72 km/h and 54 km/h. The faster train crosses the slower train in:
- A. 60 s
- B. 72 s (Correct)
- C. 80 s
- D. 90 s
Explanation: Relative speed = 18 km/h = 5 m/s. Total length = 360 m. Time = 360/5 = 72 s.
- Train and Man
5. A train running at 45 km/h crosses a man standing on the platform in 16 seconds. Length of the train is:
- A. 160 m
- B. 180 m
- C. 200 m (Correct)
- D. 220 m
Explanation: 45 km/h = 12.5 m/s. Length = 12.5 x 16 = 200 m.
- Train and Bridge
6. A 220 m train crosses a bridge in 30 seconds at 54 km/h. Length of the bridge is:
- A. 180 m
- B. 200 m
- C. 230 m (Correct)
- D. 250 m
Explanation: 54 km/h = 15 m/s. Total distance = 15 x 30 = 450 m. Bridge length = 450 - 220 = 230 m.
- Train and Platform
7. A train 100 m long crosses a 150 m platform in 10 seconds. Its speed is:
- A. 20 m/s
- B. 25 m/s (Correct)
- C. 30 m/s
- D. 35 m/s
Explanation: Total distance = 250 m. Speed = 250/10 = 25 m/s.
- Relative Speed
8. A 240 m train running at 60 km/h crosses another 160 m train running in the opposite direction in 12 seconds. Speed of the second train is:
- A. 48 km/h
- B. 54 km/h
- C. 60 km/h (Correct)
- D. 72 km/h
Explanation: Total length = 400 m, time = 12 s, relative speed = 400/12 = 33.33 m/s = 120 km/h. Second speed = 120 - 60 = 60 km/h.
- Train and Tunnel
9. A 300 m train crosses a tunnel of length 700 m in 50 seconds. Speed of the train is:
- A. 18 m/s
- B. 20 m/s (Correct)
- C. 22 m/s
- D. 25 m/s
Explanation: Total distance = 300 + 700 = 1000 m. Speed = 1000/50 = 20 m/s.
- Time
10. A 90 m train running at 30 m/s crosses a pole in:
- A. 2 s
- B. 3 s (Correct)
- C. 4 s
- D. 5 s
Explanation: Time = length / speed = 90/30 = 3 seconds.
- Speed
11. A train crosses a 120 m platform in 18 seconds and a pole in 10 seconds. Speed of the train is:
- A. 12 m/s
- B. 15 m/s (Correct)
- C. 18 m/s
- D. 20 m/s
Explanation: Extra 120 m takes 8 seconds, so speed = 120/8 = 15 m/s.
- Length
12. A train crosses a pole in 9 seconds and a 180 m platform in 21 seconds. Length of the train is:
- A. 120 m
- B. 135 m (Correct)
- C. 150 m
- D. 165 m
Explanation: Platform distance 180 m takes extra 12 seconds, so speed = 15 m/s. Train length = 15 x 9 = 135 m.
- Relative Speed
13. Two trains moving in opposite directions cross each other in 8 seconds. Their lengths are 90 m and 110 m. Their relative speed is:
- A. 20 m/s
- B. 22 m/s
- C. 25 m/s (Correct)
- D. 30 m/s
Explanation: Total length = 200 m. Relative speed = 200/8 = 25 m/s.
- Train and Platform
14. A train of length 250 m running at 90 km/h crosses a platform in 20 seconds. Platform length is:
- A. 200 m
- B. 225 m
- C. 250 m (Correct)
- D. 275 m
Explanation: 90 km/h = 25 m/s. Total distance = 25 x 20 = 500 m. Platform length = 500 - 250 = 250 m.
