Question #1
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. 16 seconds
B. 18 seconds
C. 22 seconds
D. 20 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.

Question #2
A man covers 40% of his journey at 40 km/h, 50% of the remaining at 30 km/h and the rest at 15 km/h. What is his average speed for the whole journey?
A. 28 km/h
B. 30 km/h
C. 24 km/h
D. 25 km/h

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Let total distance be 100 km. First part: 40 km at 40 km/h => time = 1 hour. Remaining distance = 60 km. Second part: 50% of 60 = 30 km at 30 km/h => time = 1 hour. Remaining distance = 30 km. Third part: 30 km at 15 km/h => time = 2 hours. Total time = 1 + 1 + 2 = 4 hours. Average speed = 100 / 4 = 25 km/h.

A train 150 meters long is traveling at a speed of 45 km/h. How much time will it take to clear a platform 300 meters long?
A. 45 seconds
B. 40 seconds
C. 36 seconds
D. 32 seconds

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Total distance = 150 + 300 = 450 meters. Speed = 45 * (5/18) = 12.5 m/s. Time taken = 450 / 12.5 = 36 seconds.
