A train passes a pedestrian standing on a platform in 8 seconds and passes the platform itself, which is 200 meters long, in 18 seconds. Find the speed of the train in km/h. MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A train passes a pedestrian standing on a platform in 8 seconds and passes the platform itself, which is 200 meters long, in 18 seconds. Find the speed of the train in km/h.
A. 64 km/h
B. 84 km/h
C. 72 km/h
D. 80 km/h
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Time taken to cross the platform alone = 18 - 8 = 10 seconds. Speed of train = 200 / 10 = 20 m/s. In km/h = 20 * (18/5) = 72 km/h.

Question #1
A train traveling at 60 km/h crosses a static tunnel in 18 seconds. If the length of the train is 120 meters, find the length of the tunnel.
A. 220 meters
B. 200 meters
C. 160 meters
D. 180 meters

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Speed of train = 60 * (5/18) = 50/3 m/s. Total distance covered in 18 seconds = (50/3) * 18 = 300 meters. Length of tunnel = 300 - 120 = 180 meters.

Question #2
A train 100 meters long passes an extension platform 300 meters long in 20 seconds. What is the speed of the train in km/h?
A. 84 km/h
B. 64 km/h
C. 72 km/h
D. 80 km/h

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Total distance = 100 + 300 = 400 meters. Speed = 400 / 20 = 20 m/s. In km/h = 20 * (18/5) = 72 km/h.

Question #3
A person reaches his destination 40 minutes late if his speed is 3 km/h, and reaches 30 minutes early if his speed is 4 km/h. Find the distance to his destination.
A. 16 km
B. 15 km
C. 12 km
D. 14 km

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Time difference = 40 - (-30) = 70 minutes = 70 / 60 = 7/6 hours. Let distance be d. d/3 - d/4 = 7/6 => d/12 = 7/6 => d = 14 km.
