10 train questions time speed distance SSC CGL questions Set 63 - time to solve 12 mins

Problem 1.

The ratio of lengths of two trains is 5: 3 and the ratio of their speeds is 6 : 5. The ratio of time taken by them to cross a pole is,

11 : 8
27 : 16
5 : 6
25 : 18

Problem 2.

A man can swim 3 km/hr in still water. If the velocity of the stream is 2 km/hr, the time taken by him to swim to a place 10 km upstream and back is,

$12$ hrs
$8\displaystyle\frac{1}{3}$ hrs
$10$ hrs
$9\displaystyle\frac{1}{3}$ hrs

Problem 3.

A man standing on a platform finds that a train takes 3 seconds to pass him and another train of same length moving in the opposite direction takes 4 secs. The time taken by the trains to pass each other will be,

$2\displaystyle\frac{3}{7}$ secs
$5\displaystyle\frac{3}{7}$ secs
$3\displaystyle\frac{3}{7}$ secs
$4\displaystyle\frac{3}{7}$ secs

A boat covers 12 km upstream and 18 km downstream in 3 hrs, while it covers 36 km upstream and 24 km downstream in $6\displaystyle\frac{1}{2}$ hrs. What is the speed of the current?

2.5 km/hr
2 km/hr
1.5 km/hr
1 km/hr

Problem 5.

In covering a certain distance, the speed of A and B are in the ratio 3 : 4. A takes 30 mins more than B to reach the destination. The time taken by A to reach the destination is,

$1$ hrs
$2\displaystyle\frac{1}{2}$ hr
$1\displaystyle\frac{1}{2}$ hr
$2$ hrs

Problem 6.

A man completes 30 km of a journey at a speed of 6 km/hr and the remaining 40 km journey in 5 hrs. His average speed for the whole journey is,

$7$ km/hr
$7.5$ km/hr
$6\displaystyle\frac{4}{11}$ km/hr
$8$ km/hr

Problem 7.

A cyclist after cycling a distance of 70 kms on the second day finds that the ratio of distance covered by him on the first two days is 4 : 5. If he travels a distance of 42 kms on the third day, the ratio of distances traveled on the third day and the first day is,

4 : 3
3 : 4
3 : 2
2 : 3

A and B run a 5 km race on a round course of 400 m. If their speeds are in the ratio of 5 : 4, the number of times the winner passes the other is,

Problem 9.

If a boy walks from his house to his school at the rate of 4 km/hr, he reaches the school 10 mins earlier than the scheduled time. However if he walks at the rate of 3 km/hr he reaches 10 mins late. Find the distance of the school from his house.
