    1. Answer: Option D Explanation: 5 18 m/sec 50 3 m/sec. 50 3 x9 m = 150 m.

    Speed=

    60 x

    Length of the train = (Speed x Time) =

    2.Answer: Option B Explanation: 125 10 m/sec

    Speed of the train relative to man = = = 25 2 25 m/sec. 18 x 2 5 km/hr

    = 45 km/hr. Let the speed of the train be x km/hr. Then, relative speed = (x - 5) km/hr. x - 5 = 45 3. Answer: Option C Explanation: 5 18 m/sec 25 2 m/sec. x = 50 km/hr.

    Speed =

    45 x

    Time = 30 sec. Let the length of bridge be x metres. Then, 130 + x 30 = 25 2

    2(130 + x) = 750 x = 245 m. 4. Answer: Option B

    Explanation: Let the speeds of the two trains be x m/sec and y m/sec respectively. Then, length of the first train = 27x metres, and length of the second train = 17y metres. 27x + 17y x+ y = 23

    27x + 17y = 23x + 23y 4x = 6y x y = 3 . 2

    5. Answer: Option B Explanation: 5 18 m/sec = 15 m/sec.

    Speed =

    54 x

    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 = 240 m. 6. Answer: Option B Explanation: 240 24

    Speed =

    m/sec = 10 m/sec. 240 + 650 Required time = 10 sec = 89 sec.

    7. Answer: Option A

    Explanation: Let the length of each train be x metres. Then, distance covered = 2x metres. Relative speed = (46 - 36) km/hr 5 18 m/sec

    = =

    10 x 25 9 2x 36 =

    m/sec 25 9

    2x = 100 x = 50. 8. Answer: Option A Explanation: 5 18

    Formula for converting from km/hr to m/s: Therefore, Speed = 45 x 5 18 m/sec = 25 2

    X km/hr =

    Xx

    m/s.

    m/sec.

    Total distance to be covered = (360 + 140) m = 500 m. Distance Speed sec = 40 sec.

    Formula for finding Time = Required time = 500 x 2 25

    9. Answer: Option C Explanation: Relative speed = (60+ 90) km/hr 5 18 m/sec

    = =

    150 x 125 3

    m/sec.

    Distance covered = (1.10 + 0.9) km = 2 km = 2000 m. 3 125 sec = 48 sec.

    Required time =

    2000 x

    10. Answer: Option C Explanation: Speed of train relative to jogger = (45 - 9) km/hr = 36 km/hr. 5 18 m/sec

    = 36 x

    = 10 m/sec. Distance to be covered = (240 + 120) m = 360 m. 360 10 sec

    Time taken =

    = 36 sec.

    11. Answer: Option A Explanation: Relative speed = (120 + 80) km/hr 5 18 m/sec

    = =

    200 x 500 9

    m/sec.

    Let the length of the other train be x metres. Then, x + 270 9 = 500 9

    x + 270 = 500 x = 230. 12. Answer: Option D Explanation: Speed = 72 x 5 m/sec = 20 m/sec.

    18 Time = 26 sec. Let the length of the train be x metres. Then, x + 250 26 = 20

    x + 250 = 520 x = 270.
