Problems on Trains Questions
-
$30$ m
-
$50$ m
-
$60$ m
-
$90$ m
C
Correct answer
Explanation
Speed = 36 km/hr = 10 m/s. Distance = Speed * Time = 10 m/s * 6 s = 60 m.
-
18 kmph
-
36 kmph
-
72 kmph
-
90 kmph
C
Correct answer
Explanation
Let L be the length of the train and v be the speed. L = v * 10. (L + 2000) = v * 110. Substituting L: 10v + 2000 = 110v. 100v = 2000, so v = 20 m/s. 20 m/s * 18/5 = 72 kmph.
-
$5 m/s$
-
$8 m/s$
-
$10 m/s$
-
Cannot be determined
B
Correct answer
Explanation
The train's speed is 108 km/h = 30 m/s. In 12 seconds it covers 360 m, so the platform is 360 - 280 = 80 m long, and the boy's speed is 80/10 = 8 m/s.
-
$500$ m
-
$600$ m
-
$750$ m
-
$900$ m
C
Correct answer
Explanation
At 90 km/hr, the train travels 25 metres per second. In one minute, it covers 1500 metres, which equals the train length plus the platform length. Since these lengths are equal, the train length is 1500/2 = 750 metres.

2.5 seconds
-
5 seconds
-
12.5 seconds
-
3 seconds
A
Correct answer
Explanation
Speed = 144 km/h = 144 * (5/18) m/s = 40 m/s. Time = Distance / Speed = 100 / 40 = 2.5 seconds.
-
$75$ sec
-
$80$ sec
-
$85$ sec
-
$90$ sec
B
Correct answer
Explanation
Total distance = 700 + 500 = 1200 m. Speed = 54 km/h = 54 * (5/18) = 15 m/s. Time = 1200 / 15 = 80 seconds.
A
Correct answer
Explanation
Speed = 66 kmph = 66 * (5/18) m/s = 55/3 m/s. Length of train = Speed * Time = (55/3) * 18 = 55 * 6 = 330 m.
A
Correct answer
Explanation
Train speed = 25 km/hr = 25 * (5/18) m/s. Time to pass platform = 18s. Length of train + platform = speed * time = (25 * 5/18) * 18 = 125 m.
D
Correct answer
Explanation
The train covers its own length plus the platform length (75 + 75 = 150 meters) in 15 seconds. Speed = distance / time = 150 / 15 = 10 m/s.
-
$9.8$ sec
-
$12.1$ sec
-
$12.42$ sec
-
$14.3$ sec
B
Correct answer
Explanation
Total distance = 110 + 132 = 242m. Speed = 72 km/hr = 72 * (5/18) = 20 m/s. Time = 242 / 20 = 12.1 seconds.

-
252$\mathrm { sec }$
D
Correct answer
Explanation
Relative speed = 45 - 40 = 5 km/hr = 5 * (5/18) m/s = 25/18 m/s. Total distance = 200 + 150 = 350 m. Time = Distance / Speed = 350 / (25/18) = 350 * 18 / 25 = 14 * 18 = 252 seconds.
D
Correct answer
Explanation
Speed of the train = distance / time = 110 m / 3 s = 110/3 m/s. To cross a 165 m platform, the train must cover its own length plus the platform length: 110 + 165 = 275 m. Time = 275 / (110/3) = 275 * 3 / 110 = 7.5 seconds.
-
$120$ m
-
$130$ m
-
$100$ m
-
$80$ m
C
Correct answer
Explanation
Let train length be L and speed be v. (L + 275) / 15 = v and (L + 425) / 21 = v. Equating: (L + 275) / 15 = (L + 425) / 21. 21L + 5775 = 15L + 6375. 6L = 600, so L = 100.

$120$ m
-
$180$ m
D
Correct answer
Explanation
Relative speed = 49 + 5 = 54 km/hr = 54 * (5/18) = 15 m/s. Length of train = speed * time = 15 * 12 = 180 m.
-
$120$ m
-
$220$ m
-
$150$ m
-
$180$ m
B
Correct answer
Explanation
Relative speed = 46 - 10 = 36 km/hr = 36 * (5/18) = 10 m/s. Time = 22 sec. Length = Speed * Time = 10 * 22 = 220 m.
