A train running at 54 km/h crosses a bridge 150 meters long in 18 seconds. Find the length of the train. MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A train running at 54 km/h crosses a bridge 150 meters long in 18 seconds. Find the length of the train.
A. 150 meters
B. 140 meters
C. 100 meters
D. 120 meters
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Speed = 54 * (5/18) = 15 m/s. Total distance in 18 seconds = 15 * 18 = 270 meters. Length of train = 270 - 150 = 120 meters.

Question #1
A high-speed train clears a structural platform watchpost signal pillar in 6 seconds and passes across the full platform itself, which measures 200 meters long, in 16 seconds. Find the speed index of the train in km/h.
A. 64 km/h
B. 84 km/h
C. 72 km/h
D. 80 km/h

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Time taken to cross the platform span alone = 16 - 6 = 10 seconds. Speed of train = 200 / 10 = 20 m/s. In km/h index = 20 * (18/5) = 72 km/h.
