This set of Aptitude Questions and Answers (MCQs) focuses on “Train and Station”.
1. A train crosses a station of 400 m in 20 seconds running at a speed of 198 kmph. Find the length of the train.
a) 600 m
b) 700 m
c) 800 m
d) 900 m
View Answer
Explanation: The speed of the train in meter per second = 55 m / s (198 * 5 / 18)
The distance covered by the train = 55 * 20 = 1100 m
The length of the train = total distance covered – the length of the platform = 1100 – 400 = 700 m
2. A train 500 m in length crosses a station in 25 seconds travelling at a speed of 144 kmph. Find the length of the station.
a) 400 m
b) 500 m
c) 600 m
d) 700 m
View Answer
Explanation: The distance covered = time * speed = 25 * 40 = 1000 m (144 kmph = 40 m / s)
The length of the station = total distance – length of the train = 1000 – 500 = 500 m
3. A train with a length of 120m crosses a platform in 10 seconds. If the speed of the train is 90 kmph, find the length of the station.
a) 120 m
b) 130 m
c) 140 m
d) 150 m
View Answer
Explanation: The speed of the train = 90 kmph = 25 m / s
The total distance travelled = 25 * 10 = 250 m
The length of the platform = 250 – 120 = 130 m
4. A train crossed a station in 13 seconds with a speed of 46.8 kmph. Find the combined length of the train and the station.
a) 144 m
b) 169 m
c) 200 m
d) 225 m
View Answer
Explanation: The combined length of the train and the station = the total distance covered
The total distance covered = speed * time
Speed = 46.8 kmph = 13 m / s
Distance = 13 * 13 = 169 m
5. A train passes a station in x seconds at a speed of 194.4 kmph. If the combined length of the train and the station is 1200 m, find x.
a) 11.11 seconds
b) 22.22 seconds
c) 33.33 seconds
d) 44.44 seconds
View Answer
Explanation: The total distance travelled = 1200 m = 1.2 km
The total time taken = distance / speed = 1.2 / 194.4 = 1 / 162 hours = 22.22 seconds
6. A train crosses a station in 35 seconds. Find the length of the station if the train passes the station at a speed of 12 m / s. The train is equal to the station in length.
a) 120m
b) 210m
c) 230m
d) 320m
View Answer
Explanation: The total distance covered = 35 * 12 = 420 m
The length of the station = the length of the train = 420 / 2 = 210 m
7. A train 0.3 km in length passes a platform 500m long in 5 seconds. Find the speed of the train.
a) 576 kmph
b) 567 kmph
c) 675 kmph
d) 657 kmph
View Answer
Explanation: The total distance covered = 800 m
The total time taken = 5 seconds
The speed = 160 m / s = 576 kmph
8. A train with a speed of 10.08 kmph passes a platform in 12 seconds. Find the length of the platform if the train is 20 m long.
a) 16.6 m
b) 13.6 m
c) 10.6 m
d) 7.6 m
View Answer
Explanation: The total distance travelled = speed * time = 12 * 2.8 = 33.6 m
The length of the platform = 33.6 – 20 = 13.6 m
9. A train crosses a platform in 12.23 seconds. If the speed of the train is 44.028 kmph, find the combined length of the train and the platform.
a) 149 m
b) 150 m
c) 151 m
d) 139 m
View Answer
Explanation: The combined length = the total distance covered
The total distance covered = speed * time = 12.23 * 12.23 = 149.5729 m
10. A train passes a platform in 49 seconds. Find the length of the train if the length of the platform is 150 m and the speed of the train is 79.2 kmph.
a) 988 m
b) 978 m
c) 948 m
d) 928 m
View Answer
Explanation: The total distance = speed * time = 49 * 22 = 1078 m
The length of the train = 1078 – 150 = 928 m
