    Question

    Two trains of equal lengths take 20 seconds and 30

    seconds respectively to cross a telegraph post. If the length of each train be 240 metres, in what time will they cross each other travelling in opposite direction?
    A 24 sec Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 20 sec Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 36 sec Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 16 sec Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 18 sec Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Speed of the first train = [240/20] m/sec = 12 m/sec Speed of the second train = [240/30] m/sec = 8 m/sec Speed = (12 + 8) m/sec = 20 m/sec Required time = (240 + 240)/20 sec = 24 sec
