[Aptitude Q] STD table : Application in train man bridge, time and work
problems
Not really an article, just solving some readers queries to keep the STD concept refreshed.
1.
2.
Conversion : kmph vs ms
2.
Total distance=
m+180
m+0
Because in comparison to train, man / telephone wire / bike-rider etc are considered zero in
width.
Now make table
Train + bridge
Train + man
Speed
Time
20
Distance
M+180
Train + man
Speed
Time
20
Distance
M+180
S x 20 = (M+180)
S x 8 =M
Conversion : kmph vs ms
1km =1000 meters.
1 hr = 60 minutes = 60 x 60 seconds = 3600 seconds.
Therefore, 1 km / hr = 1000m / 3600 seconds
1km / hr = 5 / 18 (m/s)
In otherwords,
1 meter per second = 18 / 5 kmph.
So 15 (m/s) = 15 x (18/5) km/h = 54 kmph. Thats our final answer.
Speed
Time
80
a x 10=80a
A works
Speed
Time

a x 10=80a
10 x a =10a
A works
B finishes
Speed
Time

42
Distance = speed x
time
ax
10=80a
b x 42= 42b
That means 42b=70a (because remaining work =70a and B finished this.)
b=(70/42)a
Therefore, b=5a/3
Now if A+B worked together then, we can add their speed. And together theyve to finish 80a
distance
A works
B
finishes
A+B
together

b=5a/3
a+5a/3=8a/3

CONVERTION KMPH VS MS:- Mrunal when u converted the speed of the
train from m/s to km/hr u committed a mistake. the answer should be
54km/hr :- 15m/s= 1518/5km/hr =54km/hr

Sir
Thanks for all the guidance and support you are providing to us. My
maths is improving day by day and i am able to solve sums faster than
what i used to do before.
I am going to take the SSC exam this year. If you can upload the SSCs last
5-10 years paper, it will be beneficial to us.
Thanks

Sir, Thank you for your guidance. I have a doubt in the following
problem.
A train running at 54kmph takes 20sec to pass a platform. Next it takes
12 sec to pass a man walking at 6kmph in the same direction in which
the train is going. Find the length of the train and length of the platform.
First the relative speed is calculated since the train and man in the same
direction. (54-6 = 48). conversion = 40/3m/sec.
After that, I have doubt to proceed. Please guide me to proceed further
in this problem.

prateek badola
as in 1st qus
whn train moves with 54km/h
1-length of train will be-108m
2-length of platform will be-192m
and next 1is
the speed of goods train will be 62 km/h
it is not so difficult to solve train jst do more practice and dont go
with formulasbasic method is always cool..

Sir, I have one doubt in the following problem.
A man sitting in a train which is travelling at 50kmph observes that a
goods train, travelling in opposite direction, takes 9 sec to pass him. If
the goods train is 280m long, find its speed.
I am confused here in calculating the relative speed and how to observe
the time taken to pass him. Please guide me to proceed.

in this we consider only length of of goods train .so total length
/a+b =time length=280m,a=50kmph=125/9metre per second ,let
speed of second train is b metre per second so 280/125/9+b
=9,b=280/9-125/9 =155/9=62 kmph

cant we do m/8=(m+180)/20 to find the length of the train as speed in
both the cases is same

Whether this problem is right?
A man walking in fog @ 4kmph. A 20m long train overtakes him in 30
seconds and the man could see in the fog uptoa distance of 50m. Find
the speed of the train.
If right then please answer.
