A train 150 meters long is running at 72 km/h. How long will it take to pass a platform of length 250 meters?
A. 18 seconds
B. 20 seconds
C. 24 seconds
D. 15 seconds
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Speed = 72 * (5/18) = 20 m/s. Total distance = 150 + 250 = 400 meters. Time = 400 / 20 = 20 seconds.

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. 18 seconds
C. 20 seconds
D. 16 seconds

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Speed of train = 120 / 6 = 20 m/s. Total distance to pass platform = 120 + 240 = 360 meters. Time required = 360 / 20 = 18 seconds.

Walking at 3/4 of his usual speed, a man is 20 minutes late to his office. Find his usual time to reach the office.
A. 80 minutes
B. 70 minutes
C. 50 minutes
D. 60 minutes

Correct Answer: Option D

Question #3
A boat crew rows 30 km upstream and 50 km downstream, taking exactly 5 hours for each independent passage. Find the speed of the current stream.
A. 1.5 km/h
B. 2 km/h
C. 3 km/h
D. 2.5 km/h

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Upstream speed = 30 / 5 = 6 km/h. Downstream speed = 50 / 5 = 10 km/h. Speed of current stream = (Downstream speed - Upstream speed) / 2 = (10 - 6) / 2 = 2 km/h.
