Question #1 Report Error
A train running at 60 km/h crosses a bridge 200 meters long in 24 seconds. Find the length of the train.
A. 240 meters
B. 180 meters
C. 220 meters
D. 200 meters

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Speed = 60 * (5/18) = 50/3 m/s. Total distance in 24 seconds = (50/3) * 24 = 400 meters. Length of train = 400 - 200 = 200 meters.

C. 5.0 km
D. 4.0 km

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Time difference = 10 - 2 = 8 minutes = 8/60 = 2/15 hour. Let distance be d. d / 5 - d / 6 = 2/15 => d / 30 = 2/15 => d = 4 km.

A train passes a standing man in 10 seconds and a platform 300 meters long in 25 seconds. Find the length of the train.
A. 150 meters
B. 250 meters
C. 200 meters
D. 300 meters

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
The train takes 25 - 10 = 15 seconds to cover the length of the platform. Speed of the train = 300 / 15 = 20 m/s. Length of the train = Speed * Time to cross the man = 20 * 10 = 150 meters.
