Question #1
A train running at 72 km/h passes a tunnel 300 meters long in 25 seconds. Find the length of the train.
A. 250 meters
B. 200 meters
C. 300 meters
D. 150 meters

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Speed = 72 * (5/18) = 20 m/s. Total distance in 25 seconds = 20 * 25 = 500 meters. Length of train = 500 - 300 = 200 meters.

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. 400 meters
B. 350 meters
C. 320 meters
D. 380 meters

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
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 #3
A vehicle covers a specific highway distance at 50 km/h. If it spikes its speed to 60 km/h, it clears the stretch 20 minutes early. Find the total distance.
A. 100 km
B. 120 km
C. 110 km
D. 90 km

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Time difference = 20 minutes = 20/60 = 1/3 hours. Let distance be d. d / 50 - d / 60 = 1/3 => (6d - 5d) / 300 = 1/3 => d / 300 = 1/3 => d = 100 km.
