A. 8 hours
B. 4 hours
C. 10 hours
D. 6 hours

A sound wave travels at 343 m/s. How much distance in kilometers does it cover in 10 seconds?
A. 3.43 km
B. 3.50 km
C. 3.24 km
D. 3.65 km

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Distance = Speed * Time = 343 * 10 = 3430 meters. Converting to kilometers = 3430 / 1000 = 3.43 km.

Question #2
A train passes a 110-meter long bridge in 12 seconds and a standard sign post in 7 seconds. Find the length of the train.
A. 154 meters
B. 140 meters
C. 160 meters
D. 175 meters

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Time taken to cross the bridge alone = 12 - 7 = 5 seconds. Speed of train = 110 / 5 = 22 m/s. Length of train = Speed * Time to cross sign post = 22 * 7 = 154 meters.

Question #3
Two trains 120 meters and 130 meters long are running in opposite directions at speeds of 45 km/h and 45 km/h respectively. In what time will they cross each other?
A. 11 seconds
B. 9 seconds
C. 12 seconds
D. 10 seconds

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Total distance = 120 + 130 = 250 meters. Relative speed in opposite directions = 45 + 45 = 90 km/h = 25 m/s. Time taken = 250 / 25 = 10 seconds.
