    In this situation, the train covers it length.

    Required time =
    100
    hr.
    30 × 1000

    Required time =
    100 × 60 × 60
    = 12 seconds
    30 × 1000

    Correct Option: C

    In this situation, the train covers it length.

    Required time =
    100
    hr.
    30 × 1000

    Required time =
    100 × 60 × 60
    = 12 seconds
    30 × 1000


  1. How many seconds will a 500 metre long train take to cross a man walking with a speed of 3
    km/hr. in the direction of the moving train if the speed of the train is 63 km/hr ?

    Relative speed of train = 63–3 = 60 kmph

    = 60 ×
    5
    m/sec
    18

    ∴  Time =
    Length of train
    Relative Speed

    =
    500 × 18
    = 30 sec.
    60 × 5

    Correct Option: B

    Relative speed of train = 63–3 = 60 kmph

    = 60 ×
    5
    m/sec
    18

    ∴  Time =
    Length of train
    Relative Speed

    =
    500 × 18
    = 30 sec.
    60 × 5



  1. A train is 125 m long. If the train takes 30 seconds to cross a tree by the railway line, then the speed of the train is :

    Speed =
    Distance
    Time

    =
    125
    = 4.16m/s
    30

    4.16 m/s = 4.16 ×
    18
    5

    = 15 km/hr

    Correct Option: B

    Speed =
    Distance
    Time

    =
    125
    = 4.16m/s
    30

    4.16 m/s = 4.16 ×

    = 15 km/hr


  1. A 120 m long train takes 10 seconds to cross a man standing on a platform. What is the speed of the train ?









  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    In crossing a man standing on platform, train crosses its own length.

    ∴  Speed of train =
    120
    = 12 m/s
    10

    Correct Option: A

    In crossing a man standing on platform, train crosses its own length.

    ∴  Speed of train =
    120
    = 12 m/s
    10



  1. A 120 metre long train is running at a speed of 90 km per hour. It will cross a railway platform 230 m long in :









  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    Speed of train = 90 kmph

    = 90 ×
    5
    = 25 m/sec
    18

    Distance covered
    = 230 + 120 = 350 m
    ∴  Time taken =
    350
    = 14 seconds
    25

    Correct Option: D

    Speed of train = 90 kmph

    = 90 ×
    5
    = 25 m/sec
    18

    Distance covered
    = 230 + 120 = 350 m
    ∴  Time taken =
    350
    = 14 seconds
