A train passes a standing track worker in 12 seconds and crosses a platform 200 meters long in 22 seconds. Find the length of the train. MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A train passes a standing track worker in 12 seconds and crosses a platform 200 meters long in 22 seconds. Find the length of the train.
A. 240 meters
B. 300 meters
C. 200 meters
D. 250 meters
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Time taken to cross platform alone = 22 - 12 = 10 seconds. Speed of train = 200 / 10 = 20 m/s. Length of train = Speed * Time to cross worker = 20 * 12 = 240 meters.

Question #1
A train traveling at 60 km/h overtakes a motor cyclist riding at 12 km/h in the same direction in 12 seconds. Find the length of the train.
A. 180 meters
B. 140 meters
C. 200 meters
D. 160 meters

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Relative speed = 60 - 12 = 48 km/h = 48 * (5/18) = 40/3 m/s. Length of train = Relative speed * Time = (40/3) * 12 = 160 meters.

A runner tracks a circular field of radius 140 meters. If his speed is 5 m/s, how long does he take to complete a single lap?
A. 192 seconds
B. 180 seconds
C. 176 seconds
D. 160 seconds

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Circumference = 2 * (22/7) * 140 = 880 meters. Time taken = Distance / Speed = 880 / 5 = 176 seconds.

Question #3
The speed of two runners are in the ratio 3 : 4. If the first runner takes 36 seconds to complete a loop, how much time does the second runner take?
A. 27 seconds
B. 32 seconds
C. 25 seconds
D. 30 seconds

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Ratio of speeds = 3:4, so ratio of times taken = 4:3. Given 4 parts = 36 seconds => 1 part = 9 seconds. Time taken by the second runner = 3 parts = 3 * 9 = 27 seconds.
