Question
How many seconds will a train 60 m in length, travelling
at the rate of 40 km an hour, take to pass another train 80 m long, proceeding in the same direction at the rate of 26 km an hour?Solution
Relative speed = 40 – 26 = 14 km/hr Speed (m/sec) = 14 × (5/18) = 35/9 m/sec Time = Total length of both the trains/Relative speed => Time = (80 + 60)/(35/9) = 36 sec
