A. 6 km
B. 4 km
C. 5 km
D. 8 km
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Time difference = 10 - (-5) = 15 minutes = 1/4 hour. Let distance be d. d/4 - d/5 = 1/4 => d/20 = 1/4 => d = 5 km.

A train 120 meters long crosses a platform 180 meters long in 15 seconds. Find the speed of the train in km/h.
A. 75 km/h
B. 72 km/h
C. 80 km/h
D. 64 km/h

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Total distance = 120 + 180 = 300 meters. Speed = 300 / 15 = 20 m/s. Conversion to km/h = 20 * (18/5) = 72 km/h.

A train traveling at 60 km/h overtakes a motor cyclist riding at 12 km/h in the same direction in 12 seconds. Find the length of the train.
A. 180 meters
B. 160 meters
C. 140 meters
D. 200 meters

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Relative speed = 60 - 12 = 48 km/h = 48 * (5/18) = 40/3 m/s. Length of train = Relative speed * Time = (40/3) * 12 = 160 meters.

C. 6 km
D. 5 km

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Time difference = 15 - (-10) = 25 minutes = 25/60 = 5/12 hour. Let distance be d. d/4 - d/6 = 5/12 => d/12 = 5/12 => d = 5 km.
