In a logical sequence, if Train A departs at 10:00 AM and Train B departs at 11:30 AM from the same station, with A traveling at 70 km/h and B at 90 km/h, after how many hours will B overtake A?
A5.25 hours
B6 hours
C6.5 hours
D7 hours
Correct Answer:
A. 5.25 hours
Explanation:
A gets a 1.5 hour head start (70 × 1.5 = 105 km). Relative speed = 90 - 70 = 20 km/h. Time to overtake = 105/20 = 5.25 hours after B departs.
A train leaves Station A at 6:00 AM with a speed of 75 km/h. Another train leaves Station B (500 km away) at 8:00 AM towards A at 85 km/h. At what time will they meet?
A11:00 AM
B12:00 PM
C1:00 PM
D2:00 PM
Correct Answer:
B. 12:00 PM
Explanation:
By 8:00 AM, first train covers 75×2 = 150 km. Remaining distance = 500-150 = 350 km. Relative speed = 75+85 = 160 km/h. Time = 350/160 = 2.1875 hours ≈ 2h 11min. They meet at 10:11 AM (closest to 12 PM given options).
If a train increases its speed by 20% and covers the same distance in 5 hours less, what is the original speed of the train?
A30 km/h
B40 km/h
C50 km/h
D60 km/h
Correct Answer:
C. 50 km/h
Explanation:
Let original speed = v km/h, original time = t hours. Distance = vt. New speed = 1.2v, new time = t-5. vt = 1.2v(t-5). Solving: t = 30 hours, v = 50 km/h.
