A train traveling at 72 km/h crosses a platform 160 meters long in 18 seconds. Find the length of the train. MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A train traveling at 72 km/h crosses a platform 160 meters long in 18 seconds. Find the length of the train.
A. 220 meters
B. 180 meters
C. 200 meters
D. 240 meters
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Speed = 72 * (5/18) = 20 m/s. Total distance in 18 seconds = 20 * 18 = 360 meters. Train length + Platform length = 360 => Train length + 160 = 360 => Train length = 200 meters.

A civilian covers a 2400-meter long walkway in exactly 8 minutes. Find his moving speed in km/h.
A. 18 km/h
B. 20 km/h
C. 22 km/h
D. 15 km/h

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Time = 8 minutes = 480 seconds. Speed = 2400 / 480 = 5 m/s. Converting to km/h = 5 * (18/5) = 18 km/h.

A train 100 meters long passes a platform 400 meters long in 25 seconds. Find the speed of the train in km/h.
A. 80 km/h
B. 60 km/h
C. 72 km/h
D. 90 km/h

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Total distance = 100 + 400 = 500 meters. Speed = 500 / 25 = 20 m/s. In km/h = 20 * (18/5) = 72 km/h.

Question #3
A man covers 40% of his journey at 40 km/h, 50% of the remaining at 30 km/h and the rest at 15 km/h. What is his average speed for the whole journey?
A. 25 km/h
B. 30 km/h
C. 28 km/h
D. 24 km/h

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Let total distance be 100 km. First part: 40 km at 40 km/h => time = 1 hour. Remaining distance = 60 km. Second part: 50% of 60 = 30 km at 30 km/h => time = 1 hour. Remaining distance = 30 km. Third part: 30 km at 15 km/h => time = 2 hours. Total time = 1 + 1 + 2 = 4 hours. Average speed = 100 / 4 = 25 km/h.
