Question #1 Report Error
A train passes a standing man in 10 seconds and a platform 300 meters long in 25 seconds. Find the length of the train.
A. 200 meters
B. 300 meters
C. 250 meters
D. 150 meters

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
The train takes 25 - 10 = 15 seconds to cover the length of the platform. Speed of the train = 300 / 15 = 20 m/s. Length of the train = Speed * Time to cross the man = 20 * 10 = 150 meters.

Question #2 Report Error
A delivery coach covers a highway stretch at 40 km/h. If the driver spikes the speed index to 60 km/h, the coach lands at the station terminal 15 minutes early. Find the track sector distance.
A. 26 km
B. 34 km
C. 30 km
D. 36 km

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Time difference = 15 minutes = 15/60 = 1/4 hours. Let distance be d. d / 40 - d / 60 = 1/4 => (3d - 2d) / 120 = 1/4 => d / 120 = 1/4 => d = 30 km.

Question #3 Report Error
A train 100 meters long running at 90 km/h crosses another train 150 meters long running at 54 km/h in the same direction. How much time do they take to cross each other?
A. 20 seconds
B. 30 seconds
C. 25 seconds
D. 35 seconds

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Total distance = 100 + 150 = 250 meters. Relative speed in same direction = 90 - 54 = 36 km/h = 36 * (5/18) = 10 m/s. Time taken = 250 / 10 = 25 seconds.
