A passenger train 140 meters long passes an active bridge platform 310 meters long in 20 seconds. What is the speed of the train in km/h?
A. 90 km/h
B. 85 km/h
C. 81 km/h
D. 75 km/h
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Total distance = 140 + 310 = 450 meters. Speed = 450 / 20 = 22.5 m/s. In km/h = 22.5 * (18/5) = 4.5 * 18 = 81 km/h.

Two boys start running from the same point in the same direction along a circular track at speeds of 5 m/s and 8 m/s. If the track length is 400 meters, after how much time will they meet for the first time?
A. 133.33 seconds
B. 150 seconds
C. 200 seconds
D. 100 seconds

D. 4.5 km/h

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Downstream speed = 45 / 3 = 15 km/h. Upstream speed = 45 / 9 = 5 km/h. Speed of current = (15 - 5) / 2 = 10 / 2 = 5 km/h.
