A train 150 meters long completely passes a station pole sign in 6 seconds flat. Find its speed in km/h. MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A train 150 meters long completely passes a station pole sign in 6 seconds flat. Find its speed in km/h.
A. 90 km/h
B. 110 km/h
C. 100 km/h
D. 80 km/h
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Speed of train = 150 / 6 = 25 m/s. Converting to km/h = 25 * (18/5) = 90 km/h.

Question #1
A car covers a distance of 450 km at a certain speed. If the speed is increased by 5 km/h, it takes 1 hour less to cover the same distance. Find the original speed of the car.
A. 55 km/h
B. 45 km/h
C. 40 km/h
D. 50 km/h

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Let original speed be s. 450/s - 450/(s+5) = 1 => 450(s + 5 - s) = s(s + 5) => 2250 = s(s + 5). Solving s^2 + 5s - 2250 = 0 gives (s - 45)(s + 50) = 0. Since speed is positive, s = 45 km/h.

Question #2
Two boys start running from the same point in the same direction along a circular track at speeds of 5 m/s and 8 m/s. If the track length is 400 meters, after how much time will they meet for the first time?
A. 200 seconds
B. 150 seconds
C. 133.33 seconds
D. 100 seconds

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Relative speed = 8 - 5 = 3 m/s. Time to meet for the first time = Circumference / Relative speed = 400 / 3 = 133.33 seconds.

Question #3
An athlete runs a 200-meter race in 24 seconds. Find his speed in km/h.
A. 30 km/h
B. 28.5 km/h
C. 24 km/h
D. 33.33 km/h

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Speed in m/s = 200 / 24 = 25/3 m/s. To convert to km/h, multiply by 18/5. Speed = (25/3) * (18/5) = 5 * 6 = 30 km/h.
