Two trains 110 meters and 90 meters long are running in opposite directions at speeds of 36 km/h and 54 km/h respectively. In what time will they pass each other completely? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Two trains 110 meters and 90 meters long are running in opposite directions at speeds of 36 km/h and 54 km/h respectively. In what time will they pass each other completely?
A. 10 seconds
B. 6 seconds
C. 12 seconds
D. 8 seconds
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Total distance = 110 + 90 = 200 meters. Relative speed in opposite directions = 36 + 54 = 90 km/h = 90 * (5/18) = 25 m/s. Time taken = 200 / 25 = 8 seconds.

Question #1 Report Error
A person travels a distance of 200 km at an average speed of 50 km/h and returns at a speed of 40 km/h. Find the average speed for the round trip.
A. 46.25 km/h
B. 42.5 km/h
C. 45.00 km/h
D. 44.44 km/h

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Average Speed = 2xy / (x + y) = (2 * 50 * 40) / (50 + 40) = 4000 / 90 = 44.44 km/h.

Question #3 Report Error
A train 125 meters long passes a running man in 10 seconds when both move in the same direction. If the speed of the man is 5 km/h, find the speed of the train.
A. 50 km/h
B. 45 km/h
C. 55 km/h
D. 60 km/h

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Relative speed = 125 / 10 = 12.5 m/s = (12.5) * (18/5) = 45 km/h. In the same direction, Relative Speed = Speed of train - Speed of man => 45 = Speed of train - 5 => Speed of train = 50 km/h.
