Problems on Train
1) A train running at the speed of 60 km/hr crosses a pole in 9 seconds. What is the length of the
train?
2) A train 125 m long passes a man, running at 5 km/hr in the same direction in which the train is
going, in 10 seconds. The speed of the train is?
3) The length of the bridge, which a train 130 metres long and travelling at 45 km/hr can cross in
30 seconds, is?
4) Two trains running in opposite directions cross a man standing on the platform in 27 seconds
and 17 seconds respectively and they cross each other in 23 seconds. The ratio of their speeds
is?
5) A train passes a station platform in 36 seconds and a man standing on the platform in 20
seconds. If the speed of the train is 54 km/hr, what is the length of the platform?
6) Two trains of equal length are running on parallel lines in the same direction at 46 km/hr and 36
km/hr. The faster train passes the slower train in 36 seconds. The length of each train is?
7) Two trains are moving in opposite directions @ 60 km/hr and 90 km/hr. Their lengths are 1.10
km and 0.9 km respectively. The time taken by the slower train to cross the faster train in
seconds is?
8) A jogger running at 9 kmph alongside a railway track in 240 metres ahead of the engine of a 120
metres long train running at 45 kmph in the same direction. In how much time will the train pass
the jogger?
9) A 270 metres long train running at the speed of 120 kmph crosses another train running in
opposite direction at the speed of 80 kmph in 9 seconds. What is the length of the other train?
10) A train speeds past a pole in 15 seconds and a platform 100 m long in 25 seconds. Its length is?
A : 100 m B : 150 m C : 200 m D : Data inadequate
11) A 300 metre long train crosses a platform in 39 seconds while it crosses a signal pole in 18
seconds. What is the length of the platform?
12) Two stations A and B are 110 km apart on a straight line. One train starts from A at 7 a.m. and
travels towards B at 20 kmph. Another train starts from B at 8 a.m. and travels towards A at a
speed of 25 kmph. At what time will they meet?
