A passenger locomotive 200 meters long tracks at 90 km/h. How many seconds will it take to pass a bridge 350 meters long?
A. 22 seconds
B. 26 seconds
C. 20 seconds
D. 24 seconds
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Total distance = 200 + 350 = 550 meters. Speed = 90 * (5/18) = 25 m/s. Time required = 550 / 25 = 22 seconds.

Question #1
The speed of a train is 25% more than the speed of a car. Both start from city P at the same time and reach city Q, 150 km away, at the same time. On the way, the train stops for 15 minutes at various stations. What is the speed of the car?
A. 120 km/h
B. 140 km/h
C. 150 km/h
D. 100 km/h

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Let car speed be c, then train speed is 1.25c. Time difference = 150/c - 150/(1.25c) = 15/60 hour = 1/4 hour. 150/c * (1 - 1/1.25) = 1/4 => 150/c * (0.25/1.25) = 1/4 => 150/c * (1/5) = 1/4 => 30/c = 1/4 => c = 120 km/h.

Question #2
A person row a boat 16 km upstream in 4 hours. If the speed of the current is 1 km/h, find the speed of the boat in still water.
A. 5 km/h
B. 6 km/h
C. 4 km/h
D. 7 km/h

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Upstream speed = 16 / 4 = 4 km/h. Upstream Speed = Speed in still water - Current speed => 4 = Speed in still water - 1 => Speed in still water = 5 km/h.

Question #3
A train 120 meters long completely passes a static pole in 6 seconds. Find its speed in km/h.
A. 84 km/h
B. 64 km/h
C. 80 km/h
D. 72 km/h

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Speed = 120 / 6 = 20 m/s. In km/h = 20 * (18/5) = 72 km/h.
