Problems on Trains

1.

A 300 meter long train crosses a platform in 39 seconds while it crosses a signal pole in 18 seconds. What is the length of the platform?

Answer: C

Speed = [300 / 18] m/sec = 50/3 m/sec.

Let the length of the platform be x meters.

Then, x + 300 / 39 = 50/3 

3(x + 300) = 1950 

x = 350m.

Two trains, each 100 m long, moving in opposite directions, cross other in 8 sec. If one is moving twice as fast the other, then the speed of the faster train is?

Answer: C

Let the speed of the slower train be x m/sec.

Then, speed of the train = 2x m/sec.

Relative speed =  ( x + 2x) = 3x m/sec.

(100 + 100)/8 = 3x => x = 25/3.

So, speed of the faster train = 50/3 = 50/3 * 18/5 = 60 km/hr.

A train covers a distance of 12 km in 10 min. If it takes 6 sec to pass a telegraph post, then the length of the train is?

Answer: C

Speed = (12/10 * 60) km/hr = (72 * 5/18) m/sec = 20 m/sec.

Length of the train = 20 * 6 = 120 m

6.

The length of the bridge, which a train 130 meters long and travelling at 45 km/hr can cross in 30 seconds, is:

Answer: C

Speed = (45 * 5/18) m/sec = (25/2) m/sec. Time = 30 sec. Let the length of bridge be x meters. Then, (130 + X)/30 = 25/2 ==> 2(130 + X) = 750 ==> X = 245 m.
