A train tracking at 90 km/h clears a static warehouse tunnel in 20 seconds. If the train length is 150 meters, find the tunnel length. MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A train tracking at 90 km/h clears a static warehouse tunnel in 20 seconds. If the train length is 150 meters, find the tunnel length.
A. 350 meters
B. 400 meters
C. 380 meters
D. 320 meters
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Speed of train = 90 * (5/18) = 25 m/s. Total distance covered in 20 seconds = 25 * 20 = 500 meters. Length of tunnel = 500 - 150 = 350 meters.

Question #1
The speed of two bodies are in the ratio 3 : 5. If they cover the same distance, what is the ratio of the time taken by them?
A. 5 : 3
B. 9 : 25
C. 3 : 5
D. 25 : 9

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Since time is inversely proportional to speed when distance is constant, the ratio of time taken is the reciprocal of the speed ratio: 1/3 : 1/5 = 5 : 3.

Question #2
A passenger train clears a station side signal pillar in exactly 12 seconds. If the length of the train is 180 meters, find its speed in km/h.
A. 54 km/h
B. 48 km/h
C. 72 km/h
D. 60 km/h

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Speed of train = 180 / 12 = 15 m/s. Converting to km/h = 15 * (18/5) = 54 km/h.

Question #3
A runner covers 200 meters in 22 seconds. Find his approximate speed in km/h.
A. 30.5 km/h
B. 36.0 km/h
C. 34.2 km/h
D. 32.7 km/h

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Speed = 200 / 22 m/s = 100 / 11 m/s. In km/h = (100 / 11) * (18/5) = 360 / 11 = 32.72 km/h.
