Two trains Shatabdi express and Bhagirathi crosses each other in 40 s when running in opposite direction. Bhagirathi crossed a pole in 8 s. If the ration of speed of both the train are in ration 2:5, then what are the ration of their length.

EASY
IMPORTANT

Two trains of length 500 m and 800 m passes each other with constant speed in opposite directions. The time gap between the drives in both the trains passing each other and the first driver guard pair passing each other is 40sec. Then find the ratio of the time of the first driver guard passing each other to second driver guard pass each other after passing the first driver guard.

If the ratio of the speed of the first and second train is 3:2, then the second train crossed by the first train in how many second if both trains run in the same direction find the ratio between and the first train.

EASY
IMPORTANT

The train from Jammu Tawi to Baramulla passes through the Pir Pranjal Railway Tunnel which is 9.90 km while the total distance to be covered between Banihal and Quazigund between which the Pir Pranjal Railway Tunnel is situated, is 11.22 km. The train’s length is 330 m. It is found that the train’s speed outside the tunnel is 10% more than inside the tunnel, then what should be the speed of the train inside the tunnel if the train takes 11 min 45 seconds to cross the distance between Banihal and Quazigund?

EASY
IMPORTANT

Mansi estimates and tries to frame a mathematical equation that relates the time taken by a train and its speed. She figures out that the speed of the train while covering 495 km can be expressed as twice the time taken by the train to cover the distance plus a factor of 3. If the expression holds good when it covers 693 km as well, then what would be the ratio of the time taken by the train to cover the distance and the speed of the train?

Ayan is travelling by Darjeeling Himalayan Railway’s Toy Train. He sits on the Toy Train from Ghum which is the highest altitude station on the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway’s route to Darjeeling in 3 hours. While going back Ayan goes from Darjeeling, he reaches Batasia Loop in 3 hours which is a few kms from Ghum. He finds that he covers a total of 24 kms in the 6 hours. Also, he is told by the Driver that the train gains 1 km/hr while descending from Ghum to Darjeeling while loses 1 km/hr while going from Darjeeling to Ghum. Based on this, how much time would it take for the train to go from Batasia Loop to Ghum?

EASY
IMPORTANT

A Shatabdi express and an express train are going along the same direction with speeds of 100 km/hr and 75 km/hr respectively. The Shatabdi express comes from behind and crosses a man standing in the express train in 54 seconds. Assuming that the ratio of the Shatabdi train’s length to the express train’s length is 56, then what is the length of the express train?
