A train running at 60 km/h crosses a bridge 200 meters long in 24 seconds. Find the length of the train. MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A train running at 60 km/h crosses a bridge 200 meters long in 24 seconds. Find the length of the train.
A. 220 meters
B. 180 meters
C. 200 meters
D. 240 meters
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Speed = 60 * (5/18) = 50/3 m/s. Total distance in 24 seconds = (50/3) * 24 = 400 meters. Length of train = 400 - 200 = 200 meters.

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.
