Description : Two trains are moving in opposite directions at 60 km/hr and 90 km/hr. Their lengths are 1.10 km and 0.9 km respectively. The time taken by the slower train to cross the faster train in seconds is: A.58 sec B.50 sec C.48 sec D.56 sec E.None of these

Last Answer : Answer – C (48 sec) Explanation – Relative speed = all lengths/time [60+90] = [1.10 +0.9 ]/time [ PLUS when opposite direction] time=2/150 = 1/75 h 1 hour______3600 sec 1/75 hr______? ?= 3600/75=48 sec

Description : Two trains A and B are moving in opposite directions at 180 km/hr and 270 km/hr. their lengths are 3.30 km and 2.7 km respectively. The time taken by the slower train to cross the faster train in second is. A) 48sec B) 13 sec C) 38sec D) 24sec

Last Answer : ANSWER: A Explanation: Speed of 1st train = 180 km/hr  Speed of 2nd train = 270 km/hr  Relative speed = (180 + 270)km/hr  = 450 km/hr  = (450 * 5 / 180)m/s  = (2250 / 18)m/s  =125 m/s  Distance covered = (3.30 + 2.70)km  = 6km = 6000m  Required time = 6000 / 125  = 48sec

Last Answer : Answer – D (180 m) Explanation – When OPP. direction-PLUS Relative speed = (36 + 45) km/hr = [81 x 5/18] m/sec = [45/2] m/sec. Length of train = [45/2 x 8] m = 180 m.

Description : Two trains, both 50m long, moving in opposite directions cross each other in 4 seconds. If one is moving thrice as fast the other, then the speed of the faster train is. A) 45km/hr B) 19 km/hr C) 95 km/hr D) 67.5 km/hr

Last Answer : ANSWER:D Explanation:  Let the speed of the slower train be x' m/sec  The speed of the sfaster train = 3x m/s  Relative speed = (x +3x)m/sec  = 4x m/sec  50 + 50 / 4 = 4x  100 / 4 = 4x  100 = 16x  x = 100 ... the faster train = 3 * 25 / 4  = 75 / 4 m/s = (75/4 *18 /5)km/hr  = 67.5 km/hr
