A train 130 meters long passes a bridge of length 270 meters in 30 seconds. Find the speed of the train in km/h.
A. 50 km/h
B. 48 km/h
C. 54 km/h
D. 45 km/h
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Total distance = 130 + 270 = 400 meters. Speed = 400 / 30 = 40/3 m/s. In km/h = (40/3) * (18/5) = 8 * 6 = 48 km/h.

Question #1 Report Error
A delivery coach covers a highway stretch at 40 km/h. If the driver spikes the speed index to 60 km/h, the coach lands at the station terminal 15 minutes early. Find the track sector distance.
A. 26 km
B. 34 km
C. 30 km
D. 36 km

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Time difference = 15 minutes = 15/60 = 1/4 hours. Let distance be d. d / 40 - d / 60 = 1/4 => (3d - 2d) / 120 = 1/4 => d / 120 = 1/4 => d = 30 km.
