The following question based on trains topic of quantitative aptitude
(a) 9 sec
(b) 8 sec
(c) 10 sec
(d) 12 sec
The correct answers to the above question in:
Answer: (b)
Using Rule 3,
Relative speed
= 45 + 54 = 99 kmph
= $(99 × 5/18)$ m/sec. or $55/2$ m/sec.
Required time = ${108 + 112}/{55/2}$
= ${220 × 2}/55 = 8$ seconds

Question : 1
Two trains of length 137 metre and 163 metre are running with speed of 42 km/hr and 48 km/hr respectively towards each other on parallel tracks. In how many seconds will they cross each other?
a) 24 sec
b) 12 sec
c) 10 sec
d) 30 sec
Answer »Answer: (b)
Using Rule 3,
Relative speed
= 42 + 48 = 90 kmph
= $({90 × 5}/18)$ m/s = 25 m/s
Sum of the length of both trains
= 137 + 163 = 300 metres
Required time = $300/25$ = 12 seconds
Question : 2
A train, 150m long, passes a pole in 15 seconds and another train of the same length travelling in the opposite direction in 12 seconds. The speed of the second train is
a) 48 km/hr
b) 52 km/hr
c) 54 km/hr
d) 45 km/hr
Answer »Answer: (c)
Using Rule 3,
Let the speed of the second train be x m/s
Speed of first train
= $150/15$ = 10 m/sec
Relative speed of trains
= (x + 10) m/s
Total distance covered
= 150 + 150 = 300 metre
Time taken = $300/{x + 10}$
$300/{x + 10}$ = 12
12x + 120 = 300
12x = 300 - 120 = 180
x = $180/12$ = 15 m/s
= ${15 × 18}/5$ or 54 kmph.
Question : 3
Two places P and Q are 162 km apart. A train leaves P for Q and simultaneously another train leaves Q for P. They meet at the end of 6 hours. If the former train travels 8 km/hour faster than the other, then speed of train from Q is
a) 10$5/6$ km/hour
b) 9$1/2$ km/hour
c) 8$1/2$ km/hour
d) 12$5/6$ km/hour
Answer »Answer: (b)
Speed of train starting from Q = x kmph
Speed of train starting from P = (x + 8) kmph
According to the question,
PR + RQ = PQ
(x + 8) × 6 + x × 6 = 162
[Distance = Speed × Time]
6x + 48 + 6x = 162
12x = 162 - 48 = 114
x = $114/12 = 19/2 = 9{1}/2$ kmph
Question : 4
The distance between two cities A and B is 330 km. A train starts from A at 8 a.m. and travels towards B at 60 km/hr. Another train starts from B at 9 a.m. and travels towards A at 75 km/hr. At what time do they meet?
a) 10 : 30 a.m.
b) 11 a.m.
c) 11 : 30 a.m.
d) 10 a.m.
Answer »Answer: (b)
Distance travelled by first train in one hour
= 60 × 1 = 60km
The given distance between two cities A and B is 330 km.
Therefore, distance between two train at 9 a.m.
= 330 - 60 = 270 km
Now, Relative speed of two trains
= 60 + 75 = 135 km/hr
Time of meeting of two trains
= $270/135$ = 2 hrs.
Therefore, both the trains will meet at
9 + 2 = 11 A.M.
Question : 5
Two trains X and Y start from Jodhpur to Jaipur and from Jaipur to Jodhpur respectively. After passing each other they take 4 hours 48 minutes and 3 hours 20 minutes to reach Jaipur and Jodhpur respectively. If X is moving at 45 km/hr, the speed of Y is
a) 58 km/hr
b) 54 km/hr
c) 64.8 km/hr
d) 60 km/hr
Answer »Answer: (b)
Using Rule 11,Two trains A and B, run from stations X to Y and from Y to X with the speed '$S_A$' and '$S_B$' respectively. After meeting with each other. A reached at Y after '$t_A$' time and B reached at X after '$t_B$' time. Then Ratio of speeds of trains,$S_A/S_B = √{t_B/t_A}$
$\text"Speed of X"/\text"Speed of Y"$
= $√\text"Time taken by Y"/\text"Time taken by X"$
$45/y = √\text"3 hours 20 min"/\text"4 hours 48 min"$
$45/y = √\text"200 minutes"/\text"288 minutes" = 10/12$
10y = 12 × 45
$y = {12 × 45}/10$ = 54 kmph
Question : 6
Two trains of length 70 m and 80 m are running at speed of 68 km/hr and 40 km/hr respectively on parallel tracks in opposite directions. In how many seconds will they pass each other ?
a) 8 sec
b) 5 sec
c) 3 sec
d) 10 sec
Answer »Answer: (b)
Using Rule 3,
Relative speed
= (68 + 40) kmph = 108 kmph
= $({108 × 5}/18)$ m/s or 30 m/s
Required time
= $\text"Sum of the lengths of both trains"/ \text"Relative speed"$
= $({70 + 80}/30)$ second = 5 seconds
