The following question based on trains topic of quantitative aptitude
(a) 68 km/hr
(b) 65 km/hr
(c) 60 km/hr
(d) 72 km/hr
The correct answers to the above question in:
Answer: (d)
Using Rule 10,
Let the length of the train be x
Speed of train
${x + 300}/21 ={x + 240}/18$
${x + 300}/7 ={x + 240}/6$
7x + 1680 = 6x + 1800
x = 120
Speed of train
= ${x + 300}/21 = 420/21$= 20 m/sec
= $({20 × 18}/5)$ kmph = 72 kmph

Question : 1
A train, with a uniform speed, crosses a platform, 162 metres long, in 18 seconds and another platform, 120 metres long, in 15 seconds. The speed of the train is
a) 42 km/hr
b) 50.4 km/hr
c) 67.2 km/hr
d) 14 km/hr
Answer »Answer: (b)
Using Rule 10,
Let the Length of the train be x
Then, ${x + 162}/18 = {x + 120}/15$
(Speed of the train)
${x + 162}/6 = {x + 120}/5$
6x + 720 = 5x + 810
x = 810 - 720 = 90
Speed of the train
=${90 + 162}/18$ m/sec.
= $252/18 × 18/5$ kmph = 50.4 kmph
Question : 2
A train 150 metre long takes 20 seconds to cross a platform 450 metre long. The speed of the train in, km per hour, is :
a) 100
b) 106
c) 104
d) 108
Answer »Answer: (d)
Speed of train
= $\text"length of platform and train"/ \text"Time taken in crossing"$
=$({450 +150}/20)$ m/sec.
= $(600/20)$ m/sec.
= $(30 × 18/5)$ kmph = 108 kmph.
Question : 3
A train 50 metre long passes a platform 100 metre long in 10 seconds. The speed of the train in km/hr is
a) 54
b) 15
c) 100
d) 10
Answer »Answer: (a)
Using Rule 10,
Speed of train
= $\text"Length of platform and train"/ \text"Time taken incrossing"$
= $({100 + 50}/10)$ metre/second
= 15 metre/second
= $(15 × 18/5)$ kmph = 54 kmph
Question : 4
How many seconds will a train 120 metre long running at the rate of 36 km/hr take to cross a bridge of 360 metres in length ?
a) 40 sec
b) 46 sec
c) 36 sec
d) 48 sec
Answer »Answer: (d)
Using Rule 10,
Speed of train = 36 kmph
= $({36 × 5}/18)$ m/sec.
= 10 m/sec
Required time
= $\text"Length of train and bridge"/ \text"Speedof train"$
= ${120 + 360}/10$
= $480/10$ = 48 seconds
Question : 5
A train 800 metres long is running at the speed of 78 km/hr. If it crosses a tunnel in 1 minute, then the length of the tunnel (in metres) is :
a) 500
b) 1300
c) 13
d) 77200
Answer »Answer: (a)
When a train crosses a tunnel, it covers a distance equal to the sum of its own length and tunnel.
Let the length of tunnel be x Speed = 78 kmph
= ${78 × 1000}/{60 × 60}$ m/sec. = $65/3$ m/sec.
Speed = $\text"Distance"/\text"Time"$
$65/3 = {800 + x}/60$
(800 + x ) × 3 = 65× 60
800 + x = 65 × 20 m
x = 1300 - 800 = 500
Length of tunnel = 500 metres.
Using Rule 10,
Here, x = 800 m, u = 78 km/hr
= 78$5/18 = 65/3$ m/sec
t = 1 min = 60 sec, y = ?
using t = ${x + y}/u$
$60 = {800 + y}/{65/3}$
60 × $65/3$ = 800 + y
1300 - 800 = y ⇒ y = 500 metres
Question : 6
If a man running at 15 kmph crosses a bridge in 5 minutes, the length of the bridge is
a) 500 metres
b) 750 metres
c) 1250 metres
d) 1000 metres
Answer »Answer: (c)
Using Rule 10,
Time = 5 minutes = $1/12$ hour
Length of bridge = Speed × Time
= 15 × $1/12 = 5/4$ km.
= $(5/4 × 1000)$ metre
= 1250 metre
