1. What is the speed of the train whose length is 210 metres? I. The train crosses another train (Howrah Express/12869) of 300 metres length running in opposite direction in 10 seconds. II. The train crosses another train (Howrah Express/12869) running in the same direction at the speed of 60 km/hr in 30 seconds. A. I alone sufficient while II alone not sufficient to answer B. II alone sufficient while I alone not sufficient to answer C. Either I or II alone sufficient to answer D. Both I and II are not sufficient to answer E. Both I and II are necessary to answer Answer & Explanation Answer: Option E Explanation: Time taken to cross the train, (l1 + l2) = sec. running in opposite directions (u + v) 10 = (210 + 300) (u + v)

u + v = 51. (l + l ) Time taken to cross the train, running in same direction = 1 2 sec. (u - v ) 30 = (210 + 300) (u - 60 x (5/18)) 50 3 m/sec.

u = 17 +

Thus, u and v can be obtained. Correct answer is (E). View Answer Workspace Report Discuss in Forum 2. What is the length of a running train crossing another 180 metre long train running in the opposite direction? I. The relative speed of the two trains was 150 kmph. II. The trains took 9 seconds to cross each other. A. I alone sufficient while II alone not sufficient to answer B. II alone sufficient while I alone not sufficient to answer C. Either I or II alone sufficient to answer D. Both I and II are not sufficient to answer E. Both I and II are necessary to answer Answer & Explanation Answer: Option E Explanation: Let the two trains of length a metres and b metres be moving in opposite directions at u m/s and v m/s. Time taken to cross each other = (a + b) sec. (u + v )

5 125 Now, b = 180, u + v = 150 x = m/sec. 18 m/sec 3 9= a + 180 (125/3)

a = (375 - 180) = 195 m. View Answer Workspace Report Discuss in Forum 3. What is the length of a running train?

I. The train crosses a man in 9 seconds. II. The train crosses a 240 metre long platform in 24 seconds. A. I alone sufficient while II alone not sufficient to answer B. II alone sufficient while I alone not sufficient to answer C. Either I or II alone sufficient to answer D. Both I and II are not sufficient to answer E. Both I and II are necessary to answer Answer & Explanation Answer: Option E Explanation: Time taken by train to cross a man = Length of train Speed of train Speed = l Speed = ....(i) 9 l + 240 ....(ii) 24

(Length of train + Time taken by train Length of platform) to cross a platform = Speed of train l l + 240 From (i) and (ii), we get = . 9 24

Thus, l can be obtained. So both I and II are necessary to get the answer. The correct answer is (E). View Answer Workspace Report Discuss in Forum
