A train 100 meters long running at 90 km/h crosses another train 150 meters long running at 54 km/h in the same direction. How much time do they take to cross each other? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A train 100 meters long running at 90 km/h crosses another train 150 meters long running at 54 km/h in the same direction. How much time do they take to cross each other?
A. 35 seconds
B. 20 seconds
C. 30 seconds
D. 25 seconds
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Total distance = 100 + 150 = 250 meters. Relative speed in same direction = 90 - 54 = 36 km/h = 36 * (5/18) = 10 m/s. Time taken = 250 / 10 = 25 seconds.

The speed of a train is 72 km/h. How many meters does it cross in 15 seconds?
A. 300 meters
B. 250 meters
C. 400 meters
D. 350 meters

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:

Question #2
A passenger train 140 meters long passes an active bridge platform 310 meters long in 20 seconds. What is the speed of the train in km/h?
A. 81 km/h
B. 85 km/h
C. 90 km/h
D. 75 km/h

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Total distance = 140 + 310 = 450 meters. Speed = 450 / 20 = 22.5 m/s. In km/h = 22.5 * (18/5) = 4.5 * 18 = 81 km/h.

Question #3
A man rows 10 km/h in still water. If the river current tracks at 2 km/h, it takes him 2.5 hours to row to a point and back. How far is the point?
A. 10 km
B. 14 km
C. 12 km
D. 15 km

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Downstream speed = 10 + 2 = 12 km/h. Upstream speed = 10 - 2 = 8 km/h. Let distance be d. d / 12 + d / 8 = 2.5 => 5d / 24 = 2.5 => 5d = 60 => d = 12 km.
