A train traveling at 60 km/h crosses a static tunnel in 18 seconds. If the length of the train is 120 meters, find the length of the tunnel. MCQ with Answer and Explanation
Explanation:
Relative speed = 125 / 10 = 12.5 m/s = 12.5 * (18/5) = 45 km/h. Since they are in the same direction: Relative Speed = Speed of train - Speed of man => 45 = Speed of train - 5 => Speed of train = 50 km/h.
Two marathoners run a long stretch. The winner finishes in 50 minutes while the second runner takes 55 minutes. By what percentage is the winner's speed higher than the runner-up's speed?
Explanation:
Since distance is constant, speed is inversely proportional to time. Ratio of times Winner:Runner-up = 50:55 = 10:11. Ratio of speeds Winner:Runner-up = 11:10. Speed excess percentage = ((11 - 10) / 10) * 100 = 10%.
