A train 160 meters long passes a platform of length 340 meters in 25 seconds. Find the absolute speed of the train in km/h. MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A train 160 meters long passes a platform of length 340 meters in 25 seconds. Find the absolute speed of the train in km/h.
A. 72 km/h
B. 76 km/h
C. 68 km/h
D. 80 km/h
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Total distance = 160 + 340 = 500 meters. Speed = 500 / 25 = 20 m/s. In km/h = 20 * (18/5) = 72 km/h.

Question #3
A train 250 meters long takes 30 seconds to cross a man running at 6 km/h in the opposite direction. Find the speed of the train.
A. 30 km/h
B. 36 km/h
C. 42 km/h
D. 24 km/h

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Relative speed = 250 / 30 = 25/3 m/s = (25/3) * (18/5) = 30 km/h. In opposite directions, Relative Speed = Speed of train + Speed of man => 30 = Speed of train + 6 => Speed of train = 24 km/h.
