A train running at 54 km/h passes an active signal pole in 12 seconds. Find the length of the train. MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A train running at 54 km/h passes an active signal pole in 12 seconds. Find the length of the train.
A. 180 meters
B. 160 meters
C. 200 meters
D. 220 meters
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Speed = 54 * (5/18) = 15 m/s. Length of train = Speed * Time = 15 * 12 = 180 meters.

Question #1
A boat crew row a boat 24 km downstream in 3 hours and tracks the identical loop back upstream in 6 hours. Find the baseline speed of the boat in still water.
A. 5 km/h
B. 7 km/h
C. 6 km/h
D. 8 km/h

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Downstream tracking speed = 24 / 3 = 8 km/h. Upstream tracking speed = 24 / 6 = 4 km/h. Speed in still water = (8 + 4) / 2 = 12 / 2 = 6 km/h.

Question #2
A train passing a stationary pole takes 8 seconds, and it requires 20 seconds to completely pass a 240-meter long platform. Find the speed of the train in km/h.
A. 80 km/h
B. 76 km/h
C. 72 km/h
D. 68 km/h

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Time taken to cross the platform distance alone = 20 - 8 = 12 seconds. Speed of train = 240 / 12 = 20 m/s. In km/h = 20 * (18/5) = 72 km/h.

Question #3
A man rows downstream 28 km in 2 hours and upstream 12 km in 2 hours. Find the speed of the current.
A. 4.0 km/h
B. 3.5 km/h
C. 4.5 km/h
D. 5.0 km/h

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Downstream speed = 28 / 2 = 14 km/h. Upstream speed = 12 / 2 = 6 km/h. Speed of current = (14 - 6) / 2 = 8 / 2 = 4 km/h.
