A train 120 meters long passes a signal pole in 6 seconds. Find the time it takes to completely cross a platform 240 meters long.
A. 22 seconds
B. 18 seconds
C. 20 seconds
D. 16 seconds
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Speed of train = 120 / 6 = 20 m/s. Total distance to pass platform = 120 + 240 = 360 meters. Time required = 360 / 20 = 18 seconds.

A mechanic wheel tracks 3000 revolutions to bridge a course distance of 2640 meters. Find the radius size of the wheel.
A. 18 cm
B. 14 cm
C. 16 cm
D. 12 cm

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Distance wrapped in 1 turn revolution = 2640 / 3000 = 0.88 meters = 88 cm. Circumference = 2 * (22/7) * r = 88 cm => (44/7) * r = 88 => r = 14 cm.
