A train 220 meters long passes a signal post in 11 seconds. How long will it take to cross a platform 300 meters long? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A train 220 meters long passes a signal post in 11 seconds. How long will it take to cross a platform 300 meters long?
A. 30 seconds
B. 28 seconds
C. 26 seconds
D. 24 seconds
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Speed of train = 220 / 11 = 20 m/s. Total distance to cross platform = 220 + 300 = 520 meters. Time taken = 520 / 20 = 26 seconds.

Question #1
A person travels from P to Q at a speed of 30 km/h and returns from Q to P at a speed of 40 km/h. What is the ratio of time taken by him in the forward journey to that in the return journey?
A. 4:3
B. 16:9
C. 3:4
D. 9:16

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Since distance is constant, time is inversely proportional to speed. Ratio of times = Speed2 : Speed1 = 40 : 30 = 4:3.

Question #2
Two delivery vans start from a junction hub and track along perpendicular cross lanes. One runs at 24 km/h and the other at 32 km/h. Find the separation distance between them after 1 hour.
A. 45 km
B. 38 km
C. 42 km
D. 40 km

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
In 1 hour, the first van covers 24 km and the second covers 32 km. Direct line separation distance = sqrt(24^2 + 32^2) = sqrt(576 + 1024) = sqrt(1600) = 40 km.

Question #3
Two trains start from stations A and B and travel towards each other at speeds of 50 km/h and 60 km/h respectively. At the time of their meeting, the second train has traveled 120 km more than the first. Find the distance between A and B.
A. 1320 km
B. 1200 km
C. 1440 km
D. 1500 km

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Let the time they travel before meeting be t hours. Distance difference = 60t - 50t = 10t = 120 km => t = 12 hours. Total distance = (50 + 60) * t = 110 * 12 = 1320 km.
