A train 120 meters long running at 45 km/h crosses a bridge in 30 seconds. Find the length of the bridge. MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A train 120 meters long running at 45 km/h crosses a bridge in 30 seconds. Find the length of the bridge.
A. 270 meters
B. 255 meters
C. 285 meters
D. 230 meters
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Speed of train = 45 * (5/18) = 12.5 m/s. Total distance covered in 30 seconds = 12.5 * 30 = 375 meters. Length of bridge = 375 - 120 = 255 meters.

A. 5 hours
B. 4 hours

Question #2
A merchant van covers 120 km at 40 km/h, 180 km at 60 km/h and 100 km at 50 km/h. Find the net average speed.
A. 50 km/h
B. 54 km/h
C. 52 km/h
D. 48 km/h

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Total distance = 120 + 180 + 100 = 400 km. Total time = (120/40) + (180/60) + (100/50) = 3 + 3 + 2 = 8 hours. Average speed = 400 / 8 = 50 km/h.

Question #3
Two trains 140 meters and 160 meters long are running in opposite directions at speeds of 50 km/h and 58 km/h respectively. In what time will they cross each other?
A. 10 seconds
B. 12 seconds
C. 9 seconds
D. 11 seconds

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Total distance = 140 + 160 = 300 meters. Relative speed in opposite directions = 50 + 58 = 108 km/h = 30 m/s. Time taken = 300 / 30 = 10 seconds.
