About Train Problems MCQs
These word problems, many using local routes such as Multan to Lahore, test careful setting up of distance and speed. Questions include two trains approaching each other from opposite directions, trains overtaking in the same direction, a train crossing a bridge, and a train passing a walking man and then a car. Others ask when two trains leaving at different times will meet, or what speed would avoid a late arrival. Always add lengths when one train passes another and use the sum of speeds for opposite directions and the difference for the same direction.

Frequently asked questions
How do you find when two trains will meet?
If the trains start at different times, first find the distance the earlier train covers before the second one starts. Subtract that from the total distance, then divide the remainder by the sum of their speeds if they are moving towards each other. Add that time to the second train's start time.
How long does a train take to cross a bridge?
The train must cover the bridge length plus its own length. Convert speed to metres per second by multiplying km/h by 5/18. A 100 m train at 48 km/h crossing a bridge in 30 seconds covers 400 m in total, so the bridge is 300 m long.
