      Question

      Two trains of same length are running in parallel tracks

      in the same direction with speed 64 km/hr and 100 km/hr respectively. The latter completely crosses the former in 20 seconds. Find the length of each train (in m).
      A 150 m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 100 m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 125 m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 225 m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      When two trains cross each other, they cover distance equal to the sum of their lengths with relative speed.  Let's take length of each train = x So, total length of both trains = 2x Relative speed = (100 – 64) × (5/18) = 10 m/sec. ∴  Total length = Time × Relative speed  ⇒  2x = (20 × 10) ⇒  x = 100 m
