Two trains 120 meters and 80 meters long are running along parallel tracks in the same direction at speeds of 46 km/h and 36 km/h respectively. In what time will the faster train cross the slower train completely? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Two trains 120 meters and 80 meters long are running along parallel tracks in the same direction at speeds of 46 km/h and 36 km/h respectively. In what time will the faster train cross the slower train completely?
A. 90 seconds
B. 64 seconds
C. 80 seconds
D. 72 seconds
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Total distance = 120 + 80 = 200 meters. Relative speed in same direction = 46 - 36 = 10 km/h = 10 * (5/18) = 25/9 m/s. Time required = 200 / (25/9) = 200 * 9 / 25 = 8 * 9 = 72 seconds.

Question #1
A motorboat tracks 48 km downstream in 3 hours and handles the same route upstream back to the origin line in 6 hours. Find the baseline speed of the boat hull in still water.
A. 12 km/h
B. 10 km/h
C. 15 km/h
D. 14 km/h

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Downstream speed = 48 / 3 = 16 km/h. Upstream speed = 48 / 6 = 8 km/h. Speed in still water = (16 + 8) / 2 = 12 km/h.

Question #2
A person covers a distance of 120 km at 30 km/h and another 80 km at 40 km/h. Find his average speed for the full journey.
A. 34.5 km/h
B. 32.2 km/h
C. 33.33 km/h
D. 35.0 km/h

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Total distance = 120 + 80 = 200 km. Time 1 = 120 / 30 = 4 hours. Time 2 = 80 / 40 = 2 hours. Total time = 6 hours. Average speed = 200 / 6 = 33.33 km/h.
