Two trains start from stations A and B and travel towards each other at speeds of 50 km/h and 60 km/h respectively. At the time of their meeting, the second train has traveled 120 km more than the first. Find the distance between A and B. MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Two trains start from stations A and B and travel towards each other at speeds of 50 km/h and 60 km/h respectively. At the time of their meeting, the second train has traveled 120 km more than the first. Find the distance between A and B.
A. 1440 km
B. 1500 km
C. 1320 km
D. 1200 km
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Let the time they travel before meeting be t hours. Distance difference = 60t - 50t = 10t = 120 km => t = 12 hours. Total distance = (50 + 60) * t = 110 * 12 = 1320 km.

A train 150 meters long is running at a speed of 90 km/h. How long will it take to cross a platform 200 meters long?
A. 16 seconds
B. 15 seconds
C. 12 seconds
D. 14 seconds

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Speed of train = 90 * (5/18) = 25 m/s. Total distance = 150 + 200 = 350 meters. Time taken = 350 / 25 = 14 seconds.

Question #3
A sonar signal takes 6 seconds to travel down to an underwater reef and reflect back to the vessel. If the speed of sound in water is 1500 m/s, find the depth of the reef in kilometers.
A. 5.0 km
B. 4.5 km
C. 4.8 km
D. 4.2 km

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Total travel time to reef and back = 6 seconds. Time to reach reef = 3 seconds. Depth = Speed * Time = 1500 * 3 = 4500 meters = 4.5 km.
