A train 110 meters long is traveling at 60 km/h. How much time will it take to pass a platform 240 meters long? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A train 110 meters long is traveling at 60 km/h. How much time will it take to pass a platform 240 meters long?
A. 24 seconds
B. 21 seconds
C. 18 seconds
D. 27 seconds
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Total distance = 110 + 240 = 350 meters. Speed = 60 * (5/18) = 50/3 m/s. Time = 350 / (50/3) = 350 * 3 / 50 = 7 * 3 = 21 seconds.

Question #1
A person covers a certain distance by bicycle at a speed of 15 km/h and returns on foot at a speed of 5 km/h. If the entire trip took 4 hours, find the total distance of the one-way journey.
A. 20 km
B. 12 km
C. 15 km
D. 18 km

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Let the one-way distance be d. Time taken for forward journey = d / 15, and return journey = d / 5. Given: d/15 + d/5 = 4. Multiplying by 15: d + 3d = 60 => 4d = 60 => d = 15 km.

A boatman rows 15 km downstream in 3 hours and 12 km upstream in 4 hours. What is the speed of the boat in still water?
A. 4 km/h
B. 5 km/h
C. 3.5 km/h
D. 4.5 km/h

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Downstream speed = 15 / 3 = 5 km/h. Upstream speed = 12 / 4 = 3 km/h. Speed in still water = (5 + 3) / 2 = 4 km/h.

Question #3
A train passing a standing man takes 9 seconds, and it takes 21 seconds to pass a 240-meter long platform. Find the speed of the train in km/h.
A. 72 km/h
B. 64 km/h
C. 80 km/h
D. 90 km/h

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Time taken to cross the platform alone = 21 - 9 = 12 seconds. Speed of train = 240 / 12 = 20 m/s. In km/h = 20 * (18/5) = 72 km/h.
