A train passes an electric pole in 12 seconds and a bridge of length 240 meters in 24 seconds. Find the length of the train. MCQ with Answer and Explanation
A train passes an electric pole in 12 seconds and a bridge of length 240 meters in 24 seconds. Find the length of the train.
A. 200 meters
B. 180 meters
C. 300 meters
D. 240 meters
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
The train takes 12 seconds to cross its own length and 24 seconds to cross its own length plus the bridge. Therefore, it takes 24 - 12 = 12 seconds to cross the 240-meter bridge. Speed = 240 / 12 = 20 m/s. Length of train = Speed * Time to cross pole = 20 * 12 = 240 meters.
A baseline boat hull can row 12 km/h in still water. If the river current tracks a velocity of 4 km/h, find the exact sector distance covered downstream by the boat hull in 45 minutes flat.
The speeds of two cars are in the ratio 4 : 3. If they cover the same distance, and the slower car takes 2 hours, how much time does the faster car take?
Explanation:
Ratio of speeds = 4:3, so ratio of times taken = 3:4. The slower car corresponds to 4 parts = 2 hours => 1 part = 0.5 hours. Time for the faster car = 3 parts = 3 * 0.5 = 1.5 hours.
