A1 km/h
B2 km/h
C3 km/h
D4 km/h
Correct Answer:  B. 2 km/h

Q.3 Medium Numbers 14 Apr 2026
Two trains running in opposite directions cross each other in 8 seconds. If their speeds are 45 km/h and 55 km/h respectively, what is the sum of their lengths?
A200m
B220m
C240m
D260m
Correct Answer:  B. 220m
EXPLANATION

Relative speed = 45 + 55 = 100 km/h = 100 × 5/18 = 250/9 m/s ≈ 27.78 m/s. Distance = 27.78 × 8 ≈ 222m ≈ 220m

A15%
B20%
C25%
D30%
Correct Answer:  B. 20%
EXPLANATION

If sum becomes 4 times, SI = 3P. SI = P×R×T/100 → 3P = P×R×15/100 → R = 20% p.a.
