                                    2. 350 m.

Problems on Trains:

1. A train moves past a telegraph post and a bridge 300 m long in 10 seconds and 25 seconds respectively. What’s the speed of the train?

Solution:
                  Let the distance and speed be x and y respectively.

                  Time = x/y = 10.
                   y = x/10

                  Speed = Length / time
                  x/10 = (x+300)/ 25

                  x = 200 m.

                  The speed of the train = 200/10
                                                      = 20 m/s
                                                      = 20*18/5 
                                                      = 72 km/hr.
          
2. How many seconds will a 200 m long train take to cross a man walking with a speed of 2 km/hr in the direction of the moving train if the speed of the train is 42 km/hr?

Solution:
                  Relative speed = 42-2 = 40 km/hr 
                                                      = 40*5/18 
                                                      = 100/9 m/s.

                  Time = 200*9/100 
                           = 18 seconds.

Aptitude Day 55

Problems On Numbers 1. The difference between the squares of two numbers is 28000 and the sum of their numbers is 400. Find the numbers. Solution:                 Let the 2 numbers be x and y.                 (x 2 -y 2 ) / (x+y) = 28000/400                 (x+y)(x-y) / (x+y) =  70                 x-y = 70 ------ Equation 1                 x+y = 400 ---- Equation 2                 By solving equations 1 and 2 we get,                 x = 235 and y = 165.                 The numbers are 235 and 165. 2.
