Two trains 140 meters and 160 meters long are running in opposite directions at speeds of 50 km/h and 58 km/h respectively. In what time will they cross each other? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Two trains 140 meters and 160 meters long are running in opposite directions at speeds of 50 km/h and 58 km/h respectively. In what time will they cross each other?
A. 9 seconds
B. 12 seconds
C. 10 seconds
D. 11 seconds
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Total distance = 140 + 160 = 300 meters. Relative speed in opposite directions = 50 + 58 = 108 km/h = 30 m/s. Time taken = 300 / 30 = 10 seconds.

Question #1
A car tracks a total segment of 360 km. If the uniform speed is boosted by 15 km/h, it covers the course in 4 hours flat. Find the original speed.
A. 70 km/h
B. 80 km/h
C. 75 km/h
D. 85 km/h

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
New speed = 360 / 4 = 90 km/h. Since the new speed is 15 km/h faster than original speed, original speed = 90 - 15 = 75 km/h.

Question #2
Two cars A and B leave an intersection simultaneously at right angles. A travels North at 60 km/h and B travels East at 80 km/h. Find the direct distance between them after 30 minutes.
A. 60 km
B. 70 km
C. 40 km
D. 50 km

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Time = 30 minutes = 0.5 hours. Distance covered by A = 60 * 0.5 = 30 km. Distance covered by B = 80 * 0.5 = 40 km. Distance between them = sqrt(30^2 + 40^2) = sqrt(900 + 1600) = sqrt(2500) = 50 km.

Question #3
A person runs around a square track of side 60 meters. If his speed is 12 km/h, how much time does he take to complete one round?
A. 84 seconds
B. 72 seconds
C. 80 seconds
D. 64 seconds

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Perimeter of the track = 4 * 60 = 240 meters. Speed = 12 km/h = 12 * (5/18) = 10/3 m/s. Time required = Distance / Speed = 240 / (10/3) = 240 * 3 / 10 = 72 seconds.
