Question #2
Two junction points M and N are separated by 300 km. Train P leaves M for N at 45 km/h at 8:00 AM. Train Q leaves N for M at 55 km/h at 9:00 AM. At what time will they cross?
A. 12:00 PM
B. 11:33 AM
C. 11:15 AM
D. 11:45 AM

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
By 9:00 AM, Train P has tracked for 1 hour, covering 45 km. Remaining route segment gap separation = 300 - 45 = 255 km. Relative speed index = 45 + 55 = 100 km/h. Time after 9:00 AM = 255 / 100 = 2.55 hours = 2 hours 33 minutes. Meeting time is 11:33 AM.

Question #3
A train traveling at 72 km/h crosses a platform 160 meters long in 18 seconds. Find the length of the train.
A. 240 meters
B. 220 meters
C. 180 meters
D. 200 meters

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Speed = 72 * (5/18) = 20 m/s. Total distance in 18 seconds = 20 * 18 = 360 meters. Train length + Platform length = 360 => Train length + 160 = 360 => Train length = 200 meters.
