A train 100 meters long passes an extension platform 300 meters long in 20 seconds. What is the speed of the train in km/h?
A. 84 km/h
B. 72 km/h
C. 64 km/h
D. 80 km/h
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Total distance = 100 + 300 = 400 meters. Speed = 400 / 20 = 20 m/s. In km/h = 20 * (18/5) = 72 km/h.

Question #3
A train 125 meters long passes a man running at 5 km/h in the same direction in 10 seconds. Find the speed of the train.
A. 54 km/h
B. 60 km/h
C. 50 km/h
D. 45 km/h

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Relative speed = 125 / 10 = 12.5 m/s = 12.5 * (18/5) = 45 km/h. Since they are in the same direction: Relative Speed = Speed of train - Speed of man => 45 = Speed of train - 5 => Speed of train = 50 km/h.
