A train 150 m long running at 60 km/h crosses a man walking at 6 km/h in opposite direction. Time taken is MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A train 150 m long running at 60 km/h crosses a man walking at 6 km/h in opposite direction. Time taken is
A. 15 s
B. 6 s
C. 12 s
D. 9 s
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Relative speed = 60+6 = 66 km/h = 66×5/18 = 55/3 m/s. Time = distance / relative speed = 150 / (55/3) = 450/55 = 8.18 s ≈ 9 s. Actually 450/55=8.18, nearest 9 s. Option B.

Question #1
SHM acceleration a = -ω²x. Maximum acceleration occurs at:
A. Both positions
B. Neither
C. Mean position
D. Extreme position

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
a ∝ -x; magnitude maximum when |x| maximum (extremes). At mean position x=0 ⇒ a=0. Velocity maximum at mean position. Memory aid: 'SHM: a max at extremes, v max at center'. Oscillation concept frequently tested in competitive exams to verify SHM characteristics understanding.

Specific heat capacity of water is 4200 J/kg°C. How much heat is required to raise temperature of 2 kg water by 10°C?
A. 8400 J
B. 42000 J
C. 4200 J
D. 84000 J

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Q = mcΔθ = 2 × 4200 × 10 = 84,000 J = 84 kJ. Large specific heat of water makes it useful for cooling and climate moderation. Always check units: mass kg, c J/kg°C, ΔT °C.
