A passenger train running at 54 km/h passes through a tunnel 400 meters long in 40 seconds. Find the length of the train. MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A passenger train running at 54 km/h passes through a tunnel 400 meters long in 40 seconds. Find the length of the train.
A. 220 meters
B. 180 meters
C. 200 meters
D. 240 meters
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Speed of train = 54 * (5/18) = 15 m/s. Total distance covered in 40 seconds = 15 * 40 = 600 meters. Length of train = Total distance - Tunnel length = 600 - 400 = 200 meters.

Question #1
In a 200-meter race, A finishes in 22 seconds and B finishes in 25 seconds. By what distance does A beat B?
A. 25 meters
B. 24 meters
C. 22 meters
D. 26 meters

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Speed of B = 200 / 25 = 8 m/s. Distance covered by B when A crosses the finish line at 22 seconds = 8 * 22 = 176 meters. Winning margin = 200 - 176 = 24 meters.

A. 8 km/h
B. 7 km/h
C. 6 km/h
D. 5 km/h

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Downstream speed = 24 / 3 = 8 km/h. Upstream speed = 24 / 6 = 4 km/h. Speed in still water = (8 + 4) / 2 = 6 km/h.

A person rows 18 km downstream in 2 hours and covers the same distance upstream in 6 hours. What is the speed of the boat in still water?
A. 8 km/h
B. 5 km/h
C. 7 km/h
D. 6 km/h

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Downstream speed = 18 / 2 = 9 km/h. Upstream speed = 18 / 6 = 3 km/h. Speed in still water = (9 + 3) / 2 = 6 km/h.
