A train is traveling at a speed of 96 kilometers per hour. It takes 3 seconds to enter a tunnel and 30 seconds more to pass through it completely. Which of the following statements are correct? A. Length of the tunnel is 100 meters B. Tunnel is longer than train C. Train is longer than the tunnel D. Length of the train is 80 meters E. Length of the tunnel is 800 meters Choose the correct answer from the options given below: Correct Answer B, D and E only

Given:

Speed of train = 96 km/h

time is taken to cross itself = 3 sec

time is taken to cross tunnel = 33 seconds

Formulae required:

Distance = speed × time

a km/hr = a × 5/18 m/sec

Calculations:

convert 96km/hr in to meter/sec = 96 × 5/18

⇒ 80/3 meters/seconds

Length of train = 80/3 × 3

⇒ 80 meters

Distance covered in 33 seconds  = 80/3 × 33

⇒ 880 meters

Length of tunnel = Distance covered in 33 seconds - length of train 

⇒ 880 - 80 = 800 meters

∴ Statement B, C and E are correct.

There is only one rail track between stations A and B on a railway line. One hour after the northbound superfast train N leaves station A for station B, the southbound passenger train S reaches station A from station B. The speed of superfast train is twice that of express train E, while the speed of passenger train S is half of that of train E. On some one day train N leaves from station A to station B 20 minutes late than its usual schedule. Both Train N and Train S have increased their speed to maintain the schedule as per the table. If the superfast train doubles its speed, then what should be the ratio (approximately) of the speed of the passenger train to the speed of the superfast train so that the passenger train reaches the station on that day at the exact scheduled time.

Each of the question below consists of a question and three statements number I, II and III given below it. You have to decide whether the data provided in the statement are sufficient to answer the question. If the bus is travelling from Surat to Ahmadabad and a car is travelling from Ahmadabad to Surat, then what is the distance between Surat and Ahmadabad? I. The speed of a car is 40% less than the speed of bus. Bus started at 9 am and car started at 10 am and they meet at 3 pm of the same day. II. After travelling for 1 hour, because of traffic average speed of bus is decreased by 20% and covers distance between Surat to Ahmadabad in 11 hours. Original speed of car is 20% less than original speed of bus and before crossing bus it covered 200 km if starts 1 hour later than bus. After crossing car, bus covers remaining distance in 5 hours. III. Speed of bus is 10 km/hr more than the speed of car and before crossing car ratio of distances covered bus and car in same time was 5 : 4. Time taken by car to cover the distance between Ahmadabad and Surat is 2 hours 15 minutes more than time taken by bus to cover the same distance.

The question below is followed by three statements I, II, and III. You have to determine whether the data given is sufficient for answering the question. You should use the data and your knowledge of mathematics to choose the best possible answer. A car travels from city P to city Q in T hours with a speed of v km per hour. Distance between cities P and Q is D kilometers. If it increases its speed by 5 kmph it saves some time. Find the actual speed of the car. Statement I: If the car travels from P to Q with its actual speed of v kmph and come back with the speed of v + 5 kmph in 2T – 0.6 hrs Statement II: A bus start form Q at the same time when the car starts from P and the speed of the bus is 50% more than the speed of the car and the bus meets car after covering 60% of the distance Statement III: Distance between PQ is given by D2 – 25D + 200 = 0
