Practice Questions - Time Speed and Distance

Q16) Two trains moving in opposite directions at 65 Km/hr and 85 Km/hr. Their lengths are 435 m and 315 m respectively. Time taken by the slower train to cross the faster train is:
1) 6 sec
2) 15 sec
3) 12 sec
4) 18 sec

Hence, option 4.


Q17) A jogger is jogging at 5 Km/hr along the side of a railway track 215 meters ahead of a train of length 145 meters running at 59 Km/hr in the same direction. In how many seconds will the train cross the jogger?
1) 24 sec
2) 5 sec
3) 45 sec
4) 18 sec
Relative speed of the train w.r.t the jogger = (59 - 5)Km/hr = 15 m/sec

Hence, option 1.

Q19) A boat goes downstream at the rate of 1 Km in 10 minutes and goes upstream at the rate of 1 Km in 15 minutes. What is the speed of boat in still water?
1) 1 Km/hr
2) 5 Km/hr
3) 6 Km/hr
4) 4 Km/hr
Let B be the speed of the boat in still water ans S be the speed of the stream.
Downstream speed of the boat = B + S = 6 Km/hr
Upstream speed of the boat = B - S = 4 Km/hr
On solving, B = 5 Km/hr
Hence, option 2.

Q20) A motorboat whose speed is 15 Km/hr in still water goes 40 Km downstream and comes back in 6 hours. The speed of the stream is
1) 20 Km/hr
2) 10 Km/hr
3) 8 Km/hr
4) 5 Km/hr
Let S be the speed of the stream.
A.T.Q.

On solving, S = 5 Km/hr
Hence, option 4.
