Two trains 140 m and 160 m long run at the speed of 60 km/hr and 40 km/hr respectively in opposite directions on parallel tracks.
Question 1:
Two trains 140 m and 160 m long run at the speed of 60 km/hr and 40 km/hr respectively in opposite directions on parallel tracks. The time (in seconds) which they take to cross each other, is:
A.9
B.9.6
C.10
D.10.8
FeedbackRelative speed = (60 + 40) km/hr =(100 * 5/18) m/sec = (250/9) m/sec. Distance covered in crossing each other = (140 + 160) m = 300 m. Required time = 300 * 9/250 sec = 54/5 sec = 10.8 sec
