Answer: (a)

Using Rule 1,

Speed = $\text"Distance"/ \text"Time"$

Question : 1

A train 300 m long is running with a speed of 54 km/hr. In what time will it cross a telephone pole?

a) 15 seconds

b) 17 seconds

c) 18 seconds

d) 20 seconds

Answer: (d)

Using Rule 1,

Speed of train = 54 kmph

= $({54 × 5}/18)$ m/sec = 15 m/sec

Required time = $\text"Length of trains"/ \text"Speedof train"$

= $300/15$ = 20 seconds

Question : 2

If a train, with a speed of 60 km/ hr, crosses a pole in 30 seconds, the length of the train (in metres) is :

a) 900

b) 750

c) 500

d) 1000

Answer: (c)

Using Rule 1,

Speed of train = 60 kmph

= 60 × $5/18 = 50/3$ m/sec

Length of train = Speed × Time

= $50/3 × 30$ = 500 m

Question : 3

A train is 250m long. If the train takes 50 seconds to cross a tree by the railway line, then the speed of the train in km/hr is :

a) 9

b) 5

c) 18

d) 10

Answer: (c)

Using Rule 1,

Speed of train = $\text"Length of train"/ \text"Time taken in crossing"$

= $250/50$ = 5 m/sec.

= $(5 × 18/5)$ kmph = 18 kmph

Question : 4

A train 240 metres in length crosses a telegraph post in 16 seconds. The speed of the train is

a) 52 km/hr

b) 54 km/hr

c) 56 km/hr

d) 50 km/hr

Answer: (b)

When a train crosses a pole it travels a distance equal to its length.

Speed of train

= $240/16$ = 15 m./sec.

= $(15 × 18/5)$ kmph = 54 kmph.

Question : 5

A train 100 metre long is running at a speed of 120 km/hr. The time taken to pass a person standing near the line is

a) 3 seconds

b) 5 seconds

c) 7 seconds

d) 1 second

Answer: (a)

Speed of train = 120 kmph.

= $({120 × 5}/18)$ m./sec. = $100/3$ m./sec.

Required time = $\text"Length of train"/ \text"Speed of train"$

= $(100/{100/3})$ seconds

= $(100/100 × 3)$ seconds = 3 seconds

Question : 6

A train 150m long passes a km stone in 30 seconds and another train of the same length travelling in opposite direction in 10 seconds. The speed ot the second train is :

a) 125 km/hr

b) 25 km/hr

c) 75 km/hr

d) 90 km/hr

Answer: (d)

Speed of train A

= $150/30$ = 5 m/sec.

Speed of train B = x m/sec.

Relative speed = (5+x) m/sec.

Length of both trains

= Relative speed × Time

300 = (5 + x) × 10

5 + x = $300/10$ = 30

x = 30 - 5 = 25 m/sec.

= $({25 × 18}/5)$ kmph. = 90 kmph.
