Question

Train M, ‘x’ metres long crosses (x – 32) metres long platform in 20 seconds while train N having the length (x + 32) metres crosses the same platform in 25 seconds. If the speeds of both trains are same then find the value of ‘x’.

A 75 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
B 68 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
C 100 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
D 95 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
E 80 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

Total distance travelled by train M = (2x – 32) m Total distance travelled by train N = (x + 32 + x – 32) = 2x m According to question, => (2x – 32)/20 = 2x/25 => 50x – 800 = 40x => 10x = 800 => x = 80 m
