A train passes a static observer in 6 seconds and a platform 160 meters long in 14 seconds. Find the length of the train. MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A train passes a static observer in 6 seconds and a platform 160 meters long in 14 seconds. Find the length of the train.
A. 120 meters
B. 150 meters
C. 140 meters
D. 100 meters
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Time to cross the platform distance alone = 14 - 6 = 8 seconds. Speed of train = 160 / 8 = 20 m/s. Length of train = Speed * Time to pass observer = 20 * 6 = 120 meters.

A train 120 meters long passing a warehouse platform 280 meters long takes exactly 20 seconds. Find the velocity index of the train in km/h.
A. 80 km/h
B. 84 km/h
C. 72 km/h
D. 64 km/h

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Total distance = 120 + 280 = 400 meters. Speed = 400 / 20 = 20 m/s. In km/h = 20 * (18/5) = 72 km/h.

Question #3 Report Error
Two express trains 200 meters and 150 meters long are moving in the same direction at 72 km/h and 54 km/h respectively. Find the time taken by the faster train to cross the slower train completely.
A. 60 seconds
B. 90 seconds
C. 70 seconds
D. 80 seconds

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Total distance = 200 + 150 = 350 meters. Relative speed in same direction = 72 - 54 = 18 km/h = 5 m/s. Time taken = 350 / 5 = 70 seconds.
