Question #1
A train 240 meters long crosses a platform 360 meters long in 30 seconds. What is the speed of the train in km/h?
A. 60 km/h
B. 80 km/h
C. 72 km/h
D. 64 km/h

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Total distance to cross = 240 + 360 = 600 meters. Speed = 600 / 30 = 20 m/s. In km/h = 20 * (18/5) = 72 km/h.

Question #3
A train 125 meters long passes a running man in 10 seconds when both move in the same direction. If the speed of the man is 5 km/h, find the speed of the train.
A. 55 km/h
B. 50 km/h
C. 60 km/h
D. 45 km/h

Correct Answer: Option B


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