A locomotive express train passes a milestone column track point in 15 seconds flat. If the speed index of the train records at 72 km/h, find the length of the train layout.
A. 300 meters
B. 280 meters
C. 320 meters
D. 350 meters
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Speed of train = 72 * (5/18) = 20 m/s. Length of train layout = Speed * Time = 20 * 15 = 300 meters.

A train passes a 150-meter long bridge in 15 seconds and a standard sign post in 9 seconds. Find the length of the train.
A. 240 meters
B. 250 meters
C. 210 meters
D. 225 meters

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Time taken to cross the bridge alone = 15 - 9 = 6 seconds. Speed of train = 150 / 6 = 25 m/s. Length of train = Speed * Time to cross sign post = 25 * 9 = 225 meters.

A train passes a platform 110 meters long in 40 seconds and a boy standing on the platform in 30 seconds. Find the length of the train.
A. 350 meters
B. 300 meters
C. 400 meters
D. 330 meters

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Let length of train be L. Speed = L/30. Also, Speed = (L+110)/40. So L/30 = (L+110)/40 => 4L = 3L + 330 => L = 330 meters.

Question #3
A train 120 meters long passing a warehouse platform 280 meters long takes exactly 20 seconds. Find the velocity index of the train in km/h.
A. 80 km/h
B. 72 km/h
C. 64 km/h
D. 84 km/h

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Total distance = 120 + 280 = 400 meters. Speed = 400 / 20 = 20 m/s. In km/h = 20 * (18/5) = 72 km/h.
