Page Title 1. A train crosses a pole in 9 seconds with a speed of 60 km/h. Then what is the length of the train?
160 metres
155 metres
150 metres
152 metres
Answer: option C

speed = (60 x 5/18) m/s. = (50/3) m/s.

Length of the train = (Speed x Time).

∵ Length of the train = (50/3 x 9) m.

= 150 m.



2. Two trains are running in opposite directions with speeds of 60 km/h and 90 km/h respectively. They have a length of 1.10 km and 0.9 km respectively. In how much time can the slower train cross the faster train?
36 sec.
48 sec.
49 sec.
45 sec.
Answer: option B

Relative speed = (60+ 90) km/hr

= (100 x 5/18) m/sec.

= (125/3) m/sec.

∵ Distance covered = (1.10 + 0.9) km = 2 km = 2000 m.

∵ Required time = (2000 x 3/125) sec. = 48 sec.



3. A jogger running at a speed of 9 kmph along a railway track in 240 m in front of the engine of a 120 m long train moving at 45 kmph in the same direction. In what time will the train cross the jogger?
18 sec
3.6 sec
36 sec
72 sec
Answer: option C

Speed of train relative to jogger = (45 - 9) km/hr = 36 km/hr.

= (36 x 5/18) m/sec

= 10 m/sec.

∵ Distance to be covered = (240 + 120) m = 360 m.

⟹ Time taken = (360/10) sec = 36 sec.



4. A train is running at a speed of 45 km/h and its length is 360 m. In what time will it cross the 140 m long bridge?
45 sec
48 sec
42 sec
40 sec
Answer: option D

apply the formula for converting km/hr to m/s : (X x 5/18) m/s.

Therefore, Speed = (45 x 5/18) m/s. = 25/2 m/s.

∵ Total distance to be covered = (360 + 140) m = 500 m.

formula for finding time = Distance/speed

∵ Then, Required time = (500 x 2/25) sec. = 40 sec.



5. At a speed of 90 km/h a train is running and crosses a pole in 7 seconds. Find the length of the train.
160 m
175 m
150 m
155 m
Answer: option B

Length of the train is equal to the distance covered by train to cross the pole. So, applying the following formula:

∵ Distance = Speed x Time

Speed is given in Km/hr therefore we will convert it into m/s as answers are given in meters.

⟹ Speed = 90 x 5/18 = 25 m/s

⟹ Time = 7 seconds

⟹ Distance = 25 x 7 = 175 meters
