A train 150 meters long passing a platform 250 meters long takes 20 seconds. Find the speed of the train in km/h.
A. 84 km/h
B. 80 km/h
C. 72 km/h
D. 64 km/h
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Total distance = 150 + 250 = 400 meters. Speed = 400 / 20 = 20 m/s. In km/h = 20 * (18/5) = 72 km/h.

Question #3
The speed of a train is 20% more than the speed of a car. Both start from city P at the same time and reach city Q, 120 km away, at the same time. On the way, the train stops for 10 minutes at various stations. What is the speed of the car?
A. 140 km/h
B. 120 km/h
C. 150 km/h
D. 100 km/h

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Let car speed be c, then train speed is 1.2c. Time difference = 120/c - 120/(1.2c) = 10/60 hour = 1/6 hour. 120/c * (1 - 1/1.2) = 1/6 => 120/c * (0.2/1.2) = 1/6 => 120/c * (1/6) = 1/6 => c = 120 km/h.
