A train running at 72 km/h passes a tunnel 300 meters long in 25 seconds. Find the length of the train. MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A train running at 72 km/h passes a tunnel 300 meters long in 25 seconds. Find the length of the train.
A. 300 meters
B. 200 meters
C. 250 meters
D. 150 meters
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Speed = 72 * (5/18) = 20 m/s. Total distance in 25 seconds = 20 * 25 = 500 meters. Length of train = 500 - 300 = 200 meters.

Question #1
A student walks from his quarter block to the academy center at 4 km/h and arrives 8 minutes late. If he manages a pace of 5 km/h, he arrives 4 minutes early. Find the track distance.
A. 4.0 km
B. 5.0 km
C. 3.5 km
D. 4.5 km

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Time difference = 8 - (-4) = 12 minutes = 10/60 = 1/5 hours. Let distance be d. d/4 - d/5 = 1/5 => d/20 = 1/5 => d = 4 km.

Question #2
A man starts walking from a place P at 4 AM at a speed of 5 km/h. Another man starts from the same place P at 6 AM in the same direction at a speed of 7 km/h. At what time will they meet?
A. 10:00 AM
B. 1:00 PM
C. 12:00 PM
D. 11:00 AM

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
By 6:00 AM, the first man has traveled for 2 hours, covering 5 * 2 = 10 km. Relative speed = 7 - 5 = 2 km/h. Time to meet = 10 / 2 = 5 hours. Meeting time = 6:00 AM + 5 hours = 11:00 AM.

A boat can row 8 km/h in still water. If the river velocity is 4 km/h, find the distance covered downstream by the boat in 45 minutes.
A. 10 km
B. 8 km
C. 9 km
D. 12 km

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Downstream speed = 8 + 4 = 12 km/h. Time = 45 minutes = 45/60 = 3/4 hour. Distance covered = Speed * Time = 12 * (3/4) = 9 km.
