A train 260 meters long passes a roadside signal box in 13 seconds. How long will it take to pass a bridge 440 meters long?
A. 40 seconds
B. 38 seconds
C. 32 seconds
D. 35 seconds
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Speed of train = 260 / 13 = 20 m/s. Total distance to cross the bridge = 260 + 440 = 700 meters. Time required = 700 / 20 = 35 seconds.

Question #1
Two trains 150 meters and 100 meters long are running along parallel tracks in the same direction at speeds of 56 km/h and 46 km/h respectively. In what time will the faster train cross the slower train completely?
A. 110 seconds
B. 80 seconds
C. 90 seconds
D. 100 seconds

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Total distance = 150 + 100 = 250 meters. Relative speed in same direction = 56 - 46 = 10 km/h = 10 * (5/18) = 25/9 m/s. Time required = 250 / (25/9) = 250 * 9 / 25 = 90 seconds.

Question #3
A car driver leaves Bangalore at 8:30 AM and expects to reach a place 300 km away at 12:30 PM. At 10:30 AM he finds that he has covered only 40% of the distance. By how much must he increase the speed of the car to reach on scheduled time?
A. 25 km/h
B. 35 km/h
C. 20 km/h
D. 30 km/h

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Total time available = 4 hours. At 10:30 AM (after 2 hours), distance covered = 40% of 300 = 120 km. Remaining distance = 180 km. Remaining time = 12:30 PM - 10:30 AM = 2 hours. Required speed = 180 / 2 = 90 km/h. Original speed = 120 / 2 = 60 km/h. Increase in speed = 90 - 60 = 30 km/h.
