A train 130 meters long passing a platform 170 meters long takes 15 seconds. Find the speed of the train in km/h. MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A train 130 meters long passing a platform 170 meters long takes 15 seconds. Find the speed of the train in km/h.
A. 72 km/h
B. 80 km/h
C. 64 km/h
D. 84 km/h
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Total distance = 130 + 170 = 300 meters. Speed = 300 / 15 = 20 m/s. In km/h = 20 * (18/5) = 72 km/h.

Question #1 Report Error
How long will a person take to walk around a square field of side 45 meters if his speed is 9 km/h?
A. 64 seconds
B. 80 seconds
C. 72 seconds
D. 90 seconds

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Perimeter of the square field = 4 * 45 = 180 meters. Speed = 9 km/h = 9 * (5/18) = 2.5 m/s. Time = Distance / Speed = 180 / 2.5 = 72 seconds.

A car travels from A to B at 45 km/h and returns to A at 55 km/h. What is the approximate average speed for the round journey?
A. 51.4 km/h
B. 49.5 km/h
C. 48.2 km/h
D. 50.0 km/h

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Average Speed = 2xy / (x + y) = (2 * 45 * 55) / (45 + 55) = 4950 / 100 = 49.5 km/h.

Question #3 Report Error
A car covers a certain distance at 50 km/h. If the speed is increased to 75 km/h, it arrives 20 minutes earlier. Find the distance.
A. 60 km
B. 50 km
C. 55 km
D. 45 km

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Time difference = 20 minutes = 20/60 = 1/3 hour. Let distance be d. d / 50 - d / 75 = 1/3 => (3d - 2d) / 150 = 1/3 => d / 150 = 1/3 => d = 50 km.
