Question : A 900-metre-long train crosses a 1200 metres long platform completely in 70 seconds. What is the speed of the train?
Option 1: 117 km/hr
Option 2: 108 km/hr
Option 3: 99 km/hr
Option 4: 90 km/hr
Correct Answer: 108 km/hr
Solution : Total distance = 900 + 1200 = 2100 m Total time = 70 s Average speed = $\frac{2100}{70}$ = 30 m/s = 30 × $\frac{18}{5}$ km/hr = 108 km/hr Hence, the correct answer is 108 km/hr.
Question : Directions: If rectangle = 12, triangle = 15, square = 6, parallelogram = 4, and circle = 3, solve the equation using the above values and answer in figures.
$\frac{rectangle+square}{triangle}$
Option 1: $\frac{4}{5}$
Option 2: $\frac{3}{5}$
Option 3: $\frac{6}{5}$
Option 4: $\frac{2}{3}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{6}{5}$
Solution : Given: Rectangle = 12, Triangle = 15, Square = 6, Parallelogram = 4, and Circle = 3
After replacing the shape's name with numbers the equation becomes – = (12 + 6)/15 = 18/15 = 6/5
Hence, the third option is correct.
