Question

    Train ‘A’ running with a speed of 72 km/hr can cross

    a standing goods train of 4 times its length in 21 seconds. Find the time taken by 350 metres long train ‘B’ which is coming from opposite direction of train ‘A’, with a speed of 10 m/s, to cross train ‘A’.
    A 8 seconds Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 5 seconds Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 14 seconds Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 10 seconds Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the length of train ‘A’ be ‘x’ metres Therefore, length of the goods train = ‘4x’ metres Speed of train ‘A’ = 72 × (5/18) = 20 m/s According to the question, 4x + x = 20 × 21 => 5x = 420 => x = 84 Therefore, time taken by train ‘B’ to cross train ‘A’ = {(84 + 350)/(21 + 10)} = 14 seconds
