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. 2.2 hours
C. 2.0 hours
D. 2.4 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
Excluding stoppages, the speed of a bus is 54 km/h and including stoppages, it is 45 km/h. For how many minutes does the bus stop per hour?
A. 9 minutes
B. 15 minutes
C. 12 minutes
D. 10 minutes

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Stoppage time per hour = (Fast Speed - Slow Speed) / Fast Speed = (54 - 45) / 54 = 9 / 54 = 1/6 hour. In minutes = (1/6) * 60 = 10 minutes.

Question #2
A high-speed coach train 180 meters long crosses a terminal platform 220 meters long in 16 seconds. What is the speed of the coach train in km/h?
A. 95 km/h
B. 100 km/h
C. 90 km/h
D. 85 km/h

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Total distance = 180 + 220 = 400 meters. Speed = 400 / 16 = 25 m/s. In km/h = 25 * (18/5) = 90 km/h.

Question #3
If a car travels at a speed of 45 km/h, how many meters does it travel in one minute?
A. 750 meters
B. 700 meters
C. 650 meters
D. 800 meters

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Speed = 45 km/h = 45 * (1000 / 60) meters per minute = 45 * 16.666... = 750 meters per minute. Thus, it covers 750 meters in one minute.
