A train 100 meters long running at 90 km/h crosses another train 150 meters long running at 54 km/h in the same direction. How much time do they take to cross each other? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A train 100 meters long running at 90 km/h crosses another train 150 meters long running at 54 km/h in the same direction. How much time do they take to cross each other?
A. 30 seconds
B. 20 seconds
C. 25 seconds
D. 35 seconds
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Total distance = 100 + 150 = 250 meters. Relative speed in same direction = 90 - 54 = 36 km/h = 36 * (5/18) = 10 m/s. Time taken = 250 / 10 = 25 seconds.

Question #1 Report Error
A person covers a distance of 120 km at 30 km/h and another 180 km at 45 km/h. Find his average speed for the whole journey.
A. 40 km/h
B. 36 km/h
C. 37.5 km/h
D. 42 km/h

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Total distance = 120 + 180 = 300 km. Total time taken = 120/30 + 180/45 = 4 + 4 = 8 hours. Average speed = 300 / 8 = 37.5 km/h.

A train passes a 150-meter long bridge in 15 seconds and a standard sign post in 9 seconds. Find the length of the train.
A. 225 meters
B. 250 meters
C. 240 meters
D. 210 meters

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Time taken to cross the bridge alone = 15 - 9 = 6 seconds. Speed of train = 150 / 6 = 25 m/s. Length of train = Speed * Time to cross sign post = 25 * 9 = 225 meters.

A motorboat registers a speed of 15 km/h in still water. It takes 4 hours to cover a certain distance upstream. If the stream velocity is 3 km/h, find the distance covered.
A. 52 km
B. 44 km
C. 48 km
D. 56 km

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Upstream speed = 15 - 3 = 12 km/h. Distance = Upstream speed * Time = 12 * 4 = 48 km.
