A. 4 hours
B. 3.5 hours
C. 3 hours
D. 2.5 hours
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Downstream speed = 12 + 3 = 15 km/h. Time taken = Distance / Downstream speed = 45 / 15 = 3 hours.

A. 2.5 hours
B. 4.0 hours
C. 3.5 hours
D. 3.0 hours

Question #2 Report Error
Two trains 150 meters and 100 meters long are running along parallel tracks in the same direction at speeds of 56 km/h and 46 km/h respectively. In what time will the faster train cross the slower train completely?
A. 80 seconds
B. 110 seconds
C. 100 seconds
D. 90 seconds

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Total distance = 150 + 100 = 250 meters. Relative speed in same direction = 56 - 46 = 10 km/h = 10 * (5/18) = 25/9 m/s. Time required = 250 / (25/9) = 250 * 9 / 25 = 90 seconds.

Question #3 Report Error
A train 140 meters long passes a platform 160 meters long in 15 seconds. Find the speed of the train in km/h.
A. 80 km/h
B. 72 km/h
C. 60 km/h
D. 90 km/h

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Total distance = 140 + 160 = 300 meters. Speed = 300 / 15 = 20 m/s. In km/h = 20 * (18/5) = 72 km/h.
