Worked practice questions

A train 120 m long crosses a pole in 9 seconds. Speed in km/h?

  1. 60
  2. 40
  3. 54
  4. 48
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: D. 48

1. Speed = distance / time = 120 / 9 m/s. 2. Convert: 120/9 × 18/5 = 120·18 / (9·5) = 2160/45 = 48 km/h. 3. Answer: 48 km/h. _Source: TSICET 2024 PYQ Q.85 (Shift 1, Speed and Distance)_

Two trains 100 m and 150 m long run in opposite directions at 36 and 54 km/h. Time to cross each other:

  1. 15 s
  2. 12 s
  3. 8 s
  4. 10 s
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: D. 10 s

1. Total length = 100 + 150 = 250 m. 2. Relative speed (opposite directions) = 36 + 54 = 90 km/h = 90·5/18 = 25 m/s. 3. Time = 250 / 25 = 10 s. _Source: TSICET 2024 PYQ Q.86 (Shift 1, Speed)_

A train travels 360 km in 4 hours. What is its average speed in km/h?

  1. 90
  2. 80
  3. 100
  4. 120
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. 90

1. Average speed = total distance / total time. 2. = 360 / 4. 3. = 90 km/h. _Source: TSICET 2024 PYQ Q.204 (Shift 2, Speed)_
