A train 120 meters long running at 45 km/h crosses a bridge in 30 seconds. Find the length of the bridge. MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A train 120 meters long running at 45 km/h crosses a bridge in 30 seconds. Find the length of the bridge.
A. 285 meters
B. 230 meters
C. 255 meters
D. 270 meters
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Speed of train = 45 * (5/18) = 12.5 m/s. Total distance covered in 30 seconds = 12.5 * 30 = 375 meters. Length of bridge = 375 - 120 = 255 meters.

Question #1 Report Error
A person covers a distance of 60 km at 15 km/h and another 40 km at 20 km/h. Find his average speed for the full journey.
A. 16.0 km/h
B. 16.66 km/h
C. 18.0 km/h
D. 17.5 km/h

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Total distance = 60 + 40 = 100 km. Time 1 = 60 / 15 = 4 hours. Time 2 = 40 / 20 = 2 hours. Total time = 6 hours. Average speed = 100 / 6 = 16.66 km/h.

A man can row 5 km/h in still water. He takes 2.5 hours to row to a point and back when the current flows at 1 km/h. How far is the point?
A. 7.0 km
B. 6.5 km
C. 6.0 km
D. 5.5 km

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Downstream speed = 5 + 1 = 6 km/h. Upstream speed = 5 - 1 = 4 km/h. Let distance be d. d / 6 + d / 4 = 2.5 => 5d / 12 = 2.5 => 5d = 30 => d = 6 km.

A boat moves upstream at a speed of 11 km/h and downstream at 16 km/h. Find the speed of the boat in still water.
A. 12.5 km/h
B. 14.5 km/h
C. 13.5 km/h
D. 14 km/h

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Speed in still water = (Downstream speed + Upstream speed) / 2 = (16 + 11) / 2 = 27 / 2 = 13.5 km/h.
