Let the length of the train be x metres and its speed by y m/sec.
Then,
x
= 9 and
x
= 10.
y -

y -
10
9
9y - 5 = x and 10(9y - 10) = 9x
9y - x = 5 and 90y - 9x = 100.
On solving, we get: x = 50.
Length of the train is 50 m.

28. A train overtakes two persons walking along a railway track. The first one walks at 4.5
km/hr. The other one walks at 5.4 km/hr. The train needs 8.4 and 8.5 seconds
respectively to overtake them. What is the speed of the train if both the persons are
walking in the same direction as the train?
A.66 km/hr B.72 km/hr
C.78 km/hr D.81 km/hr
Answer & Explanation
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
4.5 km/hr = 4.5 x
5
m/sec =
5
m/sec = 1.25 m/sec, and
18 4
5.4 km/hr = 5.4 x
5
m/sec =
3
m/sec = 1.5 m/sec.
18 2
Let the speed of the train be x m/sec.
Then, (x - 1.25) x 8.4 = (x - 1.5) x 8.5
8.4x - 10.5 = 8.5x - 12.75
0.1x = 2.25
x = 22.5
Speed of the train = 22.5 x

km/hr = 81 km/hr.

Let the length of the first train be x metres.
Then, the length of the second train is
x
metres.
2
Relative speed = (48 + 42) kmph = 90 x
5
m/sec = 25 m/sec.

30. 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?
A.9 a.m. B.10 a.m.
C.10.30 a.m. D.11 a.m.
Answer & Explanation
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Suppose they meet x hours after 7 a.m.
Distance covered by A in x hours = 20x km.
Distance covered by B in (x - 1) hours = 25(x - 1) km.
20x + 25(x - 1) = 110
45x = 135
x = 3.
So, they meet at 10 a.m.
