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. 1320 km
C. 1200 km
D. 1500 km
Answer: Option B
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.

Question #1
A train 120 meters long passes a signal pole in 6 seconds. Find the time it takes to completely cross a platform 240 meters long.
A. 18 seconds
B. 22 seconds
C. 20 seconds
D. 16 seconds

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Speed of train = 120 / 6 = 20 m/s. Total distance to pass platform = 120 + 240 = 360 meters. Time required = 360 / 20 = 18 seconds.

Question #2
A sound pulse takes 6 seconds to reach the ocean floor and bounce back to a submarine. If the speed of sound in water is 1480 m/s, find the depth of the ocean floor.
A. 4440 meters
B. 2220 meters
C. 8880 meters
D. 6660 meters

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Total distance traveled = Speed * Total Time = 1480 * 6 = 8880 meters. Depth is half of total distance = 8880 / 2 = 4440 meters.

Question #3
A train 130 meters long passes a platform 270 meters long in 20 seconds. Find the speed of the train in km/h.
A. 72 km/h
B. 80 km/h
C. 84 km/h
D. 64 km/h

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Total distance = 130 + 270 = 400 meters. Speed = 400 / 20 = 20 m/s. In km/h = 20 * (18/5) = 72 km/h.
