The speed metrics of two moving trains are in the ratio 4 : 5. If they cover an identical route length, and the slower train tracks it in 2.5 hours, find the time parameter for the faster train. MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The speed metrics of two moving trains are in the ratio 4 : 5. If they cover an identical route length, and the slower train tracks it in 2.5 hours, find the time parameter for the faster train.
A. 1.8 hours
B. 2.4 hours
C. 2.0 hours
D. 2.2 hours
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Ratio of speeds = 4:5, so ratio of times taken = 5:4. Slower train takes 5 parts = 2.5 hours => 1 part = 0.5 hours. Time for faster train = 4 parts = 4 * 0.5 = 2.0 hours.

Question #1
A person covers a distance of 80 km at 20 km/h and another 120 km at 40 km/h. Find his average speed for the whole journey.
A. 30 km/h
B. 32 km/h
C. 28.57 km/h
D. 28 km/h

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Total distance = 80 + 120 = 200 km. Total time taken = 80/20 + 120/40 = 4 + 3 = 7 hours. Average speed = 200 / 7 = 28.57 km/h.

Question #2
A person walks from his house to office at 5 km/h and arrives 12 minutes late. If he walks at 6 km/h, he arrives 2 minutes late. Find the distance.
A. 5.5 km
B. 5.0 km
C. 6.0 km
D. 4.5 km

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Time difference = 12 - 2 = 10 minutes = 10/60 = 1/6 hours. Let distance be d. d / 5 - d / 6 = 1/6 => d / 30 = 1/6 => d = 5 km.

Question #3
A train 160 meters long crosses a pole in 8 seconds. What is its speed in km/h?
A. 84 km/h
B. 64 km/h
C. 72 km/h
D. 80 km/h

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Speed of train = 160 / 8 = 20 m/s. In km/h = 20 * (18/5) = 72 km/h.
