A train 130 meters long passes a platform 270 meters long in 20 seconds. What is the speed of the train in km/h? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A train 130 meters long passes a platform 270 meters long in 20 seconds. What is the speed of the train in km/h?
A. 80 km/h
B. 60 km/h
C. 90 km/h
D. 72 km/h
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Total distance = 130 + 270 = 400 meters. Speed = 400 / 20 = 20 m/s. In km/h = 20 * (18/5) = 72 km/h.

Question #1 Report Error
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. 20 seconds
B. 25 seconds
C. 35 seconds
D. 30 seconds

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
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.

A. 9.5 km
B. 8.0 km
C. 9.0 km
D. 8.5 km

Correct Answer: Option D

Question #3 Report Error
A train 120 meters long running at 108 km/h completely passes another train 180 meters long running at 72 km/h in the same direction. How much time do they take to clear each other?
A. 25 seconds
B. 40 seconds
C. 30 seconds
D. 35 seconds

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Total distance to be covered = 120 + 180 = 300 meters. Relative speed in same direction = 108 - 72 = 36 km/h = 36 * (5/18) = 10 m/s. Time taken = 300 / 10 = 30 seconds.
