A train 100 meters long passes a platform 400 meters long in 25 seconds. Find the speed of the train in km/h. MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A train 100 meters long passes a platform 400 meters long in 25 seconds. Find the speed of the train in km/h.
A. 72 km/h
B. 80 km/h
C. 60 km/h
D. 90 km/h
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Total distance = 100 + 400 = 500 meters. Speed = 500 / 25 = 20 m/s. In km/h = 20 * (18/5) = 72 km/h.

Question #1
A vehicle covers a specific highway distance at 50 km/h. If it spikes its speed to 60 km/h, it clears the stretch 20 minutes early. Find the total distance.
A. 120 km
B. 110 km
C. 100 km
D. 90 km

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Time difference = 20 minutes = 20/60 = 1/3 hours. Let distance be d. d / 50 - d / 60 = 1/3 => (6d - 5d) / 300 = 1/3 => d / 300 = 1/3 => d = 100 km.

Question #2
In a 400-meter race, A finishes in 45 seconds and B finishes in 50 seconds. By what distance does A beat B?
A. 36 meters
B. 44 meters
C. 40 meters
D. 48 meters

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Speed of B = 400 / 50 = 8 m/s. Distance covered by B when A crosses the finish line at 45 seconds = 8 * 45 = 360 meters. Winning margin = 400 - 360 = 40 meters.

Question #3
Two locomotive train units of equal layout lengths pass a single track sign pole in 10 seconds and 15 seconds. If each train length tracks at 120 meters, find the time parameter to pass each other completely when running in opposite directions.
A. 10 seconds
B. 12 seconds
C. 14 seconds
D. 16 seconds

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Speed of first train = 120 / 10 = 12 m/s. Speed of second train = 120 / 15 = 8 m/s. Total tracking distance = 120 + 120 = 240 meters. Relative speed in opposite directions = 12 + 8 = 20 m/s. Time required = 240 / 20 = 12 seconds.
