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. MCQ with Answer and Explanation

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. 16 seconds
C. 20 seconds
D. 18 seconds
Answer: Option D
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.

Question #1
Two distinct points A and B are 100 km apart on a highway. One car starts from A and another from B at the same time. If the cars travel in the same direction at constant speeds, they meet in 5 hours. If they travel towards each other, they meet in 1 hour. What is the speed of the faster car?
A. 50 km/h
B. 45 km/h
C. 60 km/h
D. 55 km/h

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Let speeds be x and y (x > y). Same direction relative speed = x - y = 100 / 5 = 20 km/h. Opposite direction relative speed = x + y = 100 / 1 = 100 km/h. Adding equations: 2x = 120 => x = 60 km/h.

Question #2
A sound wave maps along a linear distance path at 340 m/s. How many kilometers does it cover in exactly 25 seconds?
A. 9.5 km
B. 8.0 km
C. 8.5 km
D. 9.0 km

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Distance = Speed * Time = 340 * 25 = 8500 meters. Converting to kilometers = 8500 / 1000 = 8.5 km.

Question #3
A train 120 meters long crosses a platform 280 meters long in 20 seconds. Find the speed of the train in km/h.
A. 80 km/h
B. 64 km/h
C. 84 km/h
D. 72 km/h

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Total distance = 120 + 280 = 400 meters. Speed = 400 / 20 = 20 m/s. In km/h = 20 * (18/5) = 72 km/h.
