The following question based on trains topic of quantitative aptitude
(a) 80
(b) 75
(c) 120
(d) 100
The correct answers to the above question in:
Answer: (b)
Relative speed
= 56 – 29 = 27 kmph
= $27 × 5/18 = 15/2$ m/sec
Distance covered in 10 seconds
= $15/2$ × 10 = 75 m
Hence, length of train = 75 m.

Question : 1
A thief is noticed by a policeman from a distance of 200m. The thief starts running and the policeman chases him. The thief and the policeman run at the rate of 10 km./ hr and 11 km./hr respectively. What is the distance between them after 6 minutes ?
a) 190 m
b) 200 m
c) 150 m
d) 100 m
Answer »Answer: (d)
Using Rule 12,If a train of length l m passes a bridge/platform of 'x' m in $t_1$ sec, then the time taken by the same train to cross another bridge/platform of length 'y' m is,Time taken = $({l + y}/{l + x})t_1$
Relative speed of police
= 11 – 10 = 1 kmph
= $5/18$ m/sec
Distance decreased in 6 minutes
= $5/18$ × 6 × 60 = 100 m
Distance remained between them
= 200–100 = 100 m
Question : 2
A train is moving at a speed of 80 km/h and covers a certain distance in 4.5 hours. The speed of the train to cover the same distance in 4 hours is
a) 70 km/h
b) 85 km/h
c) 90 km/h
d) 100 km/h
Answer »Answer: (c)
Distance = Speed × Time
= 80 × 4.5 = 360 km
∴ Required speed = $360/4$ = 90 kmph.
Question : 3
A moving train, 66 metres long, overtakes another train of 88 metres long, moving in the same direction in 0.168 minutes. If the second train is moving at 30 km/hr, at what speed is the first train moving ?
a) 50 km/hr.
b) 55 km/hr.
c) 25 km/hr.
d) 85 km/hr.
Answer »Answer: (d)
Suppose the speed of first train be x kmph
Speed of second train
= 30 kmph = ${30 × 1000}/60$
500 m per min.
According to question
$\text"Total Distance"/\text"Relativespeed"$
= $({66 + 88})/{x – 500} = 0.168$
$154/{x – 500} = 0.168$
0.168x – 84 = 154
0.168x = 238
$x = 238/0.168$
$({238 × 1000}/168)$m per minute
= ${238 × 1000}/168 × 3/50$ kmph = 85 kmph
Question : 4
Two trains, of same length, are running on parallel tracks in the same direction with speed 60 km/hour and 90 km/hour respectively. The latter completely crosses the former in 30 seconds. The length of each train (in metres) is
a) 150
b) 100
c) 115
d) 125
Answer »Answer: (d)
When two trains cross each other, they cover distance equal to the sum of their length with relative speed.
Let length of each train = x metre
Relative speed
= 90 – 60 = 30 kmph
= $({30 × 5}/18)$ m/sec.
= $(25/3)$ m/sec.
${2x}/{25/3} = 30$
2x = ${30 × 25}/3$
2x = 250
x = 125 metres
Question : 5
Two trains are running with speed 30 km/hr and 58 km/hr in the same direction. A man in the slower train passes the faster train in 18 seconds. The length (in metres) of the faster train is :
a) 100
b) 128
c) 140
d) 70
Answer »Answer: (c)
Relative speed
= (58 – 30) km/hr
= $(28 × 5/18)$ m/sec. = $70/9$ m/sec.
Length of train
= $70/9$ ×18 = 140 metres
Question : 6
A constable is 114 metres behind a thief. The constable runs 21 metres and the thief runs 15 metres in a minute. In what time will the constable catch the thief ?
a) 18 minutes
b) 17 minutes
c) 16 minutes
d) 19 minutes
Answer »Answer: (d)
Using Rule 1,If a train crosses an electric pole, a sitting/standing man, km or mile stone etc. then distance = Length of train. Then,Length of train = Speed × TimeAnd Time = $\text"Length of train"/\text"Speed"$ andSpeed = $\text"Length of train"/\text"Time"$
The gap of 114 metre will be filled at relative speed.
Required time = $(114/{21 – 15})$ minutes
= $114/6$ =19 minutes
