Two locomotive train units of equal layout lengths pass a single track sign pole in 10 seconds and 15 seconds. If each train length tracks at 120 meters, find the time parameter to pass each other completely when running in opposite directions.
Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Speed of first train = 120 / 10 = 12 m/s. Speed of second train = 120 / 15 = 8 m/s. Total tracking distance = 120 + 120 = 240 meters. Relative speed in opposite directions = 12 + 8 = 20 m/s. Time required = 240 / 20 = 12 seconds.
Speed of first train = 120 / 10 = 12 m/s. Speed of second train = 120 / 15 = 8 m/s. Total tracking distance = 120 + 120 = 240 meters. Relative speed in opposite directions = 12 + 8 = 20 m/s. Time required = 240 / 20 = 12 seconds.

Excluding stoppages, the speed of an express train is 60 km/h and including stoppages it is 48 km/h. For how many minutes does the train stop per hour?
Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation:
Stoppage time per hour = (60 - 48) / 60 = 12 / 60 = 1/5 hour. In minutes = (1/5) * 60 = 12 minutes.
Stoppage time per hour = (60 - 48) / 60 = 12 / 60 = 1/5 hour. In minutes = (1/5) * 60 = 12 minutes.

A person runs a distance of 1200 meters along a straight road in 4 minutes. What is his speed in km/h?
Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation:
Time = 4 minutes = 240 seconds. Speed = 1200 / 240 = 5 m/s. Speed in km/h = 5 * (18/5) = 18 km/h.
Time = 4 minutes = 240 seconds. Speed = 1200 / 240 = 5 m/s. Speed in km/h = 5 * (18/5) = 18 km/h.
