Question

    TYPE 10

    How many seconds will a train 65 m in length, travelling

    at the rate of 42 km an hour, take to pass another train 80 m long, proceeding in the same direction at the rate of 30 km an hour?
    A 43.5 sec Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 36 sec Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 37.8 sec Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 29 sec Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Relative speed = 42 – 30 = 12 km/hr Speed (m/sec) = 12 × (5/18) = 10/3 m/sec Time = Total length of both the trains/Relative speed => Time = (80 + 65)/(10/3) = 43.5 sec
