Two express trains 200 meters and 150 meters long are moving in the same direction at 72 km/h and 54 km/h respectively. Find the time taken by the faster train to cross the slower train completely. MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Two express trains 200 meters and 150 meters long are moving in the same direction at 72 km/h and 54 km/h respectively. Find the time taken by the faster train to cross the slower train completely.
A. 70 seconds
B. 90 seconds
C. 80 seconds
D. 60 seconds
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Total distance = 200 + 150 = 350 meters. Relative speed in same direction = 72 - 54 = 18 km/h = 5 m/s. Time taken = 350 / 5 = 70 seconds.

A student walking at 3 km/h reaches his school 15 minutes late. If he walks at 4 km/h, he reaches 15 minutes early. Find the distance.
A. 6 km
B. 5 km
C. 4 km
D. 8 km

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Time difference = 15 - (-15) = 30 minutes = 0.5 hours. Let distance be d. d/3 - d/4 = 0.5 => d/12 = 0.5 => d = 6 km.

Question #3 Report Error
If a student walks from his house to school at 5 km/h, he is late by 10 minutes. However, if he walks at 6 km/h, he is late by only 2 minutes. Find the distance between his house and school.
A. 5 km
B. 3 km
C. 6 km
D. 4 km

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Time difference = 10 - 2 = 8 minutes = 8/60 hour = 2/15 hour. Let distance be d. d/5 - d/6 = 2/15 => d/30 = 2/15 => d = 60/15 = 4 km.
