Train Problems Set 1) A train running at the speed of 60 km/hr crosses a pole in 9 seconds. What is the length of the train?
2) A train 125 m long passes a man,
running at 5 km/hr in the same direction in which the train is going, in 10 seconds. Find the speed of the train. 3) The length of the bridge, which a train 130 meters long and travelling at 45 km/hr can cross in 30 seconds, is…….?
4) A train passes a station platform in
36 seconds and a man standing on the platform in 20 seconds. If the speed of the train is 54 km/hr, what is the length of the platform? 5) A train 240 m long passes a pole in 24 seconds. How long will it take to pass a platform 650 m long?
6) Two trains of equal length are
running on parallel lines in the same direction at 46 km/hr and 36 km/hr. The faster train passes the slower train in 36 seconds. The length of each train is…….? 7) A train 360 m long is running at a speed of 45 km/hr. In what time will it pass a bridge 140 m long?
8) A 270 meters long train running at
the speed of 120 kmph crosses another train running in opposite direction at the speed of 80 kmph in 9 seconds. What is the length of the other train? 9) Two trains, each 100 m long, moving in opposite directions, cross each other in 8 seconds. If one is moving twice as fast the other, then the speed of the faster train is……? 10) Two trains are moving in opposite directions @ 60 km/hr and 90 km/hr. Their lengths are 1.10 km and 0.9 km respectively. Find time taken by the slower train to cross the faster train. 11) A goods train runs at the speed of 72 kmph and crosses a 250 m long platform in 26 seconds. What is the length of the goods train? 12) A jogger running at 9 km/ph alongside a railway track in 240 meters ahead of the engine of a 120 meters long train running at 45 km/ph in the same direction. In how much time will the train pass the jogger? 13) Two trains 140 m and 160 m long run at the speed of 60 km/hr and 40 km/hr respectively in opposite directions on parallel tracks. Find the time (in seconds) which they take to cross each other. 14) A train 110 meters long is running with a speed of 60 kmph. In what time will it pass a man who is running at 6 kmph in the direction opposite to that in which the train is going? 15) A train travelling at a speed of 75 mph enters a tunnel 3 km long. The train is 200 m long. How long does it take for the train to pass through the tunnel from the moment the front enters to the moment the rear emerges ? 17) A train 800 meters long is running at a speed of 78 km/hr. If it crosses a tunnel in 1 minute, then the length of the tunnel (in meters) is ….? 18) 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? 19) A train speeds past a pole in 15 seconds and a platform 100 m long in 25 seconds. Its length is…..?
20) A train moves past a telegraph post
and a bridge 264 m long in 8 seconds and 20 seconds respectively. What is the speed of the train?
