A train 200 meters long passes a running man in 10 seconds when both move in the same direction. If the speed of the man is 6 km/h, find the speed of the train. MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A train 200 meters long passes a running man in 10 seconds when both move in the same direction. If the speed of the man is 6 km/h, find the speed of the train.
A. 72 km/h
B. 78 km/h
C. 90 km/h
D. 84 km/h
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Relative speed = 200 / 10 = 20 m/s = 20 * (18/5) = 72 km/h. In the same direction, Relative Speed = Speed of train - Speed of man => 72 = Speed of train - 6 => Speed of train = 78 km/h.

Question #1
A person covers a distance of 100 km at 25 km/h and another 150 km at 50 km/h. Find his average speed for the whole journey.
A. 38.25 km/h
B. 35.71 km/h
C. 37.50 km/h
D. 35.5 km/h

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Total distance = 100 + 150 = 250 km. Total time taken = 100/25 + 150/50 = 4 + 3 = 7 hours. Average speed = 250 / 7 = 35.71 km/h.

Question #2
A passenger train 200 meters long crosses a platform 300 meters long in 20 seconds. What is the speed of the train in km/h?
A. 100 km/h
B. 110 km/h
C. 80 km/h
D. 90 km/h

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Total distance = 200 + 300 = 500 meters. Speed = 500 / 20 = 25 m/s. Converting to km/h = 25 * (18/5) = 90 km/h.

Question #3
The speeds of two cars are in the ratio 4 : 3. If they cover the same distance, and the slower car takes 2 hours, how much time does the faster car take?
A. 1.8 hours
B. 1.5 hours
C. 1.2 hours
D. 1.6 hours

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Ratio of speeds = 4:3, so ratio of times taken = 3:4. The slower car corresponds to 4 parts = 2 hours => 1 part = 0.5 hours. Time for the faster car = 3 parts = 3 * 0.5 = 1.5 hours.
