q: In what time will a railway train 40 m long moving at the rate of 36 kmph pass a telegraph post on its way?
Options:
(A) 3 sec
(B) 4 sec
(C) 5 sec
(D) 6 sec
(E) 7 sec
a: Stream of consciousness: T = 40/36 * 18/5 = 4 sec The answer is (B).

question: A train 150 m long running at 72 kmph crosses a platform in 25 sec. What is the length of the platform?
Options:
(A) 338
(B) 277
(C) 350
(D) 881
(E) 271
answer: Stream of consciousness: D = 72 * 5/18 = 25 = 500 150 = 350 The answer is (C).

q: The average of 9 results is 50. The average of first four results is 52 and average of last four results is 49 . what is the fifth result?
Options:
(A) 22
(B) 27
(C) 29
(D) 46
(E) 92
a: Stream of consciousness: Total of results = 50 x 9 = 450
Total of first four results = 52 x 4 = 208
Total of Last four results = 49 x 4 = 196
Hence the fifth result = 450 - (208 + 196) = 46 The answer is (D).

question: 1,2,2,4,8,32,?(mult)
Options:
(A) 2816
(B) 1816
(C) 2812
(D) 2817
(E) 6816
answer: Stream of consciousness: Each number is the product of the previous two numbers, ie 8*32 = 2816. The answer is (A).

q: A train running at the speed of 60 km/hr crosses a pole in 9 seconds. Find the length of the train?
Options:
(A) 150
(B) 872
(C) 287
(D) 288
(E) 212
a: Stream of consciousness: Speed = 60*(5/18) m/sec = 50/3 m/sec
Length of Train (Distance) = Speed * Time
(50/3) * 9 = 150 meter The answer is (A).

q: Two trains are moving at 50 kmph and 70 kmph in opposite directions. Their lengths are 150 m and 100 m respectively. The time they will take to pass each other completely is?
Options:
(A) 7 1/2 sec
(B) 2 sec
(C) 3 sec
(D) 5 sec
(E) 7 sec
a:
Stream of consciousness: 70 + 50 = 120 * 5/18 = 100/3 mps
D = 150 + 100 = 250 m
T = 250 * 3/100 = 15/2 = 7 sec The answer is (A).
