    180 km/hr = 180 x (5/18) = 50 m/sec

    Correct Option: D

    180 km/hr = 180 x (5/18) = 50 m/sec


  1. A train running at a certain speed crosses a stationary engine in 20 seconds. To find out the speed of the train, which of the following information is necessary ?

    Since the sum of the length of the train and the length of the engine is needed, so both the lengths must be known.

    Correct Option: D

    Since the sum of the length of the train and the length of the engine is needed, so both the lengths must be known.



  1. A train 110 metres in length runs through a station at the rate of 36 km per hour. How long will it take to pass a given point ?

    Speed of the train = 36 km/hr = 36 x (5/18) = 10 m/sec
    ∴ Required time = 110/10 = 11 sec

    Correct Option: A

    Speed of the train = 36 km/hr = 36 x (5/18) = 10 m/sec
    ∴ Required time = 110/10 = 11 sec


  1. A train 135 metres long is running with a speed of 54 km per hour. In what time will it pass a telegraph post ?

    Distance traveled = length of the train = 135 m
    Speed of the train = 54 Km/hr = 54 x 5/18 = 15 m/s.

    Correct Option: A

    Distance traveled = length of the train = 135 m
    Speed of the train = 54 Km/hr = 54 x 5/18 = 15 m/s.

    Time taken by train = 135 / 15 sec. = 9 sec.



  1. A train 550 metres long is running with a speed of 55 km per hour. In what time will it pass a signal post ?

    Distance covered = 550 meter. = 0.55 km
    Speed of the train = 55 km/hr

    Correct Option: D

    Distance covered = 550 meter. = 0.55 km
    Speed of the train = 55 km/hr

    So time taken = 0.55 / 55 =1/100 hr = (60 x 60 )/100 sec = 36 sec
