A train 120 meters long passes an entry post light in 6 seconds. How many seconds will it require to cross a terminal platform bridge 240 meters long?
A. 22 seconds
B. 20 seconds
C. 15 seconds
D. 18 seconds
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Speed of train = 120 / 6 = 20 m/s. Total distance to clear platform bridge layout = 120 + 240 = 360 meters. Time required = 360 / 20 = 18 seconds.

Question #1
Excluding stoppages, the speed of an inter-city bus is 45 km/h and including stoppages it is 36 km/h. How many minutes does the bus stop per hour?
A. 15 minutes
B. 10 minutes
C. 12 minutes
D. 18 minutes

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Stoppage time per hour = (45 - 36) / 45 = 9 / 45 = 1/5 hour. In minutes = (1/5) * 60 = 12 minutes.

Question #2
A train 120 meters long passes a track worker walking at 6 km/h in the same direction in 12 seconds. What is the actual speed of the train?
A. 45 km/h
B. 42 km/h
C. 48 km/h
D. 38 km/h

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Relative speed = 120 / 12 = 10 m/s = 10 * (18/5) = 36 km/h. Since they move in the same direction, Relative Speed = Speed of train - Speed of worker => 36 = Speed of train - 6 => Speed of train = 42 km/h.

Question #3
Two trains start from stations A and B and travel towards each other at speeds of 50 km/h and 60 km/h respectively. At the time of their meeting, the second train has traveled 120 km more than the first. Find the distance between A and B.
A. 1440 km
B. 1200 km
C. 1500 km
D. 1320 km

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Let the time they travel before meeting be t hours. Distance difference = 60t - 50t = 10t = 120 km => t = 12 hours. Total distance = (50 + 60) * t = 110 * 12 = 1320 km.
