Excluding minor platform corridor stops, the speed of an express route train is 84 km/h, and including stops it tracks at 70 km/h. How many minutes does it spend resting at stops per hour?
A. 15 minutes
B. 12 minutes
C. 10 minutes
D. 8 minutes
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Stoppage time per hour = (84 - 70) / 84 = 14 / 84 = 1/6 hour. In minutes = (1/6) * 60 = 10 minutes.

A train running at the speed of 60 km/h crosses a pole in 9 seconds. What is the length of the train?
A. 150 meters
B. 200 meters
C. 180 meters
D. 120 meters

Two trains 120 meters and 180 meters long are running in opposite directions at speeds of 42 km/h and 48 km/h respectively. In what time will they cross each other?
A. 16 seconds
B. 14 seconds
C. 12 seconds
D. 10 seconds

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Total distance = 120 + 180 = 300 meters. Relative speed in opposite directions = 42 + 48 = 90 km/h = 25 m/s. Time taken = 300 / 25 = 12 seconds.

The speed of a boat downstream is 18 km/h and upstream is 12 km/h. How much distance can the boat cover in still water in 3 hours?
A. 54 km
B. 42 km
C. 48 km
D. 45 km

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Speed of the boat in still water = (Downstream Speed + Upstream Speed) / 2 = (18 + 12) / 2 = 15 km/h. Distance covered in 3 hours = 15 * 3 = 45 km.
