A train 270 meters long is moving at a speed of 120 km/h. In how much time will it cross a man coming from the opposite direction at a speed of 15 km/h? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A train 270 meters long is moving at a speed of 120 km/h. In how much time will it cross a man coming from the opposite direction at a speed of 15 km/h?
A. 7.8 seconds
B. 8.4 seconds
C. 6.8 seconds
D. 7.2 seconds
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Relative speed = 120 + 15 = 135 km/h = 135 * (5/18) = 37.5 m/s. Time = Distance / Speed = 270 / 37.5 = 7.2 seconds.

Question #1
A vehicle covers a specific highway distance at 50 km/h. If it spikes its speed to 60 km/h, it clears the stretch 20 minutes early. Find the total distance.
A. 120 km
B. 110 km
C. 100 km
D. 90 km

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Time difference = 20 minutes = 20/60 = 1/3 hours. Let distance be d. d / 50 - d / 60 = 1/3 => (6d - 5d) / 300 = 1/3 => d / 300 = 1/3 => d = 100 km.

D. 32.4 km/h

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Speed in m/s = 200 / 25 = 8 m/s. In km/h = 8 * (18/5) = 144 / 5 = 28.8 km/h.

C. 8 km/h
D. 6 km/h

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Downstream speed = 16 / 2 = 8 km/h. Upstream speed = 16 / 4 = 4 km/h. Speed in still water = (8 + 4) / 2 = 6 km/h.
