Description : Two passenger trains are running in the same direction on parallel tracks at 210km/hr and 150km/hr respectively. The faster train passes a man 81 sec faster than the slower train. Find the length of the faster train. A) 1250m B) 1150m C) 1350m D) 1450m

Last Answer : ANSWER: C  Explanation:  Speed of 1st train = 210km/hr  Speed of 2nd train = 150km/hr  Here the two passenger trains are running in same direction, so  Relative speed = (210 - 150)km/hr  = 60km ... faster train = relative speed * time taken by train to pass  = 50/3 * 81  = 1350m

Description : A 250 m goods train takes 50 s to cross a person who is going in the same direction with the speed of 8 km/h. After crossing that person, the train can reach next station in 2 hr. How long that person takes to reach that station after being crossed by them? A) 2 ½ hr B) 5hr C) 3 1/2hr D) 1hr

Last Answer : ANSWER:A Explanation:  Speed of the person = 8 kmph  = (8*5/18)m/s  = 20/9 m/s  Then relative speed of train = (x-20/9)m/s  As train takes 50 sec to cross the person  Therefore 50 =250/(x-20/ ... 20,000 m  = 20 km Thus time taken by the person to cover the distance of 20km= 20/8 hr=2 ½ hr
