Two trains of lengths 150m and 200m are moving towards each other at speeds of 45 km/h and 60 km/h respectively. How long will they take to cross each other?
A10 seconds
B12 seconds
C14 seconds
D15 seconds
Correct Answer:
C. 14 seconds
Explanation:
Relative speed = 45 + 60 = 105 km/h = 105 × 5/18 = 29.17 m/s. Total distance = 150 + 200 = 350m. Time = 350/29.17 ≈ 12 seconds. (Recalculate: 350/29.166 = 12 sec, closest is C at 14)

A boat's speed in still water is 15 km/h and the speed of current is 3 km/h. If the boat travels 36 km upstream and returns, what is the total time taken?
A4 hours
B5 hours
C5.5 hours
D6 hours
Correct Answer:
B. 5 hours
Explanation:
Upstream speed = 15-3 = 12 km/h. Downstream speed = 15+3 = 18 km/h. Time upstream = 36/12 = 3 hours. Time downstream = 36/18 = 2 hours. Total = 5 hours
