B.    12 sec

C.    15 sec

D.    10 sec

Answers with Explanation: - 

 

1.       Answer : B.

    Speed of the train relative to man = (68 - 8) kmph

   = (60* 5/18) m/sec = (50/3)m/sec

   Time taken by the train to cross the man

    = Time taken by It to cover 150 m at 50/3 m / sec 

    = 150 *3/ 50 sec   = 9sec

2.       Answer : A.

Speed of train = 132 *(5/18) m/sec = 110/3 m/sec.

Distance covered in passing the platform = (110 + 165) m = 275 m.

Time taken =275 *(3/110) sec =15/2 sec = 7 ½ sec

3.       Answer : C.

Relative speed = 280/9 m / sec = ((280/9)*(18/5)) kmph = 112 kmph.

Speed of goods train = (112 - 50) kmph = 62 kmph.

4.       Answer : D.

Speed of the train relative to man = (59 + 7) kmph

= 66 *5/18 m/sec = 55/3 m/sec.

Time taken by the train to cross the man = Time taken by it to cover 220 m at (55/3) m / sec

= (220 *3/55) sec = 12 sec

5.       Answer : B.

Speed = 54 x 5/18 = 15 m/s

Length of the train = (15 x 20)m = 300 m.

Let the length of the platform be x metres.

Then, (x + 300)/36 = 15

--> x + 300 = 540

x = 240m.

6.       Answer : C.

Relative speed = (60+ 90) km/hr

= 150x5/18

= 120/3 m/sec

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

Required time = 2000 x 3/125 = 48 sec

7.       Answer : A.

Relative speed = (120 + 80) km/hr

= 200 x 5/18

= 500/9 m/sec

Then, (x+270)/9 = 500/9

--> x + 270 = 500

--> x = 230.

8.       Answer : A.

Relative speed = (60 + 40) km/hr = 100x5/18 = 250/9 m/ sec.

Distance covered in crossing each other = (140 + 160) m = 300 m.

Required time = 300x9/250 = 54/5 = 10.8 sec.

9.       Answer : C.

Let the speed of each train be x m/sec.

Then, relative speed of the two trains = 2x m/sec.

So, 2x = (120 + 120)/12

--> 2x = 20

--> x = 10.

--> Speed of each train = 10 m/sec = 10 x 18/5 km/hr = 36 km/hr.

10.   Answer : B.

Speed of the first train = 120/10 m/sec = 12 m/sec.

Speed of the second train = 120/15 m/sec = 8 m/sec.

Relative speed = (12 + 8) = 20 m/sec.

Required time = (120 + 120)/20 sec = 12 sec.
