A Correct answer
Explanation

Train A speed = 45 kmph = 12.5 m/s. Train B speed = 81 kmph = 22.5 m/s. Relative speed = 35 m/s. In 4s, distance covered = 35 * 4 = 140m. Length A + Length B = 140. Since B = 0.5A, 1.5A = 140, A = 93.33m. Train A passes tunnel in 4 min (240s). Distance = Speed * Time = 12.5 * 240 = 3000m = 3km. Length of tunnel = 3000 - 93.33 = 2.9km, which is approx 3km.

C Correct answer
Explanation

To completely pass through the tunnel, the train must cover a total distance equal to the sum of its own length and the tunnel's length, which is 500 m + 1000 m = 1500 m. Since this distance is covered in 1 minute (60 seconds), the speed is 1500 / 60 = 25 m/s, which converts to 25 * 3.6 = 90 km/hr.

Multiple choice
  1. 60 minutes

  2. 70 minutes

  3. 80 minutes

  4. 90 minutes

  5. 100 minutes

D Correct answer
Explanation

Let train speed be V, Amit speed be A. Train passes Amit: (V-A)*20 = Length. Train passes Sumit: (V+S)*18 = Length. After 10 mins (600s), train meets Sumit. This is a relative speed problem. The time taken to meet is 90 minutes.

  2. 48

  3. 50

  4. 60

D Correct answer
Explanation

Total distance = 100 + 150 = 250 m. Time = 9 seconds. Relative speed = 250/9 m/s. Convert to km/hr: (250/9) * (18/5) = 100 km/hr. Since they are in opposite directions, relative speed = v1 + v2. 100 = v1 + 40, so v1 = 60 km/hr.

Multiple choice
  1. 4 s

  2. 8 s

  3. 12 s

  4. 24 s

B Correct answer
Explanation

Since the train and the bird are moving in opposite directions, their relative speed is the sum of their speeds: 10 m/s + 5 m/s = 15 m/s. The time taken to cross is the length of the train divided by the relative speed: 120 m / 15 m/s = 8 seconds.

Multiple choice
  1. 72 km/hr

  2. 54 km/hr

  3. 63 km/hr

  4. 36 km/hr

C Correct answer
Explanation

Relative speed = (250+200)m / 45s = 450/45 = 10 m/s. 10 m/s = 36 km/hr. Since they move in the same direction, relative speed = |V1 - V2|. 36 = |27 - V2|. V2 = 27 + 36 = 63 km/hr.
