A train 120 meters long passes an entry post light in 6 seconds. How many seconds will it require to cross a terminal platform bridge 240 meters long?
A. 22 seconds
B. 15 seconds
C. 18 seconds
D. 20 seconds
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Speed of train = 120 / 6 = 20 m/s. Total distance to clear platform bridge layout = 120 + 240 = 360 meters. Time required = 360 / 20 = 18 seconds.

Question #1 Report Error
In a 500-meter dash trial heat, runner A clocks across the tape in 50 seconds, while runner B marks a finish layout in 55 seconds. By what distance does runner A beat runner B?
A. 50.00 meters
B. 42.34 meters
C. 45.45 meters
D. 48.25 meters

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Speed of runner B = 500 / 55 = 100 / 11 m/s. Distance covered by runner B when runner A finishes at 50 seconds = (100 / 11) * 50 = 5000 / 11 = 454.54 meters. Margin distance = 500 - 454.54 = 45.45 meters.

A mechanical wheel has a radius of 7 cm. How many revolutions are required to cover a linear distance of 44 meters?
A. 80
B. 150
C. 120
D. 100

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Circumference of the wheel = 2 * (22/7) * 7 = 44 cm = 0.44 meters. Total distance = 44 meters. Number of revolutions = 44 / 0.44 = 100.

B. 90 km/h
C. 80 km/h
D. 72 km/h

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Total distance = 300 + 600 = 900 meters. Speed = 900 / 45 = 20 m/s. In km/h = 20 * (18/5) = 72 km/h.
