Question

    150 metre long train ‘A’ is running with a speed of

    32.4 km/hr. Train ‘B’ which is 218 metre long is running with a speed of 90 km/h in opposite direction of train ‘A’. For how much time, the smaller train is completely obscured by the larger train when they cross each other?
    A 1 second Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 3 second Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 4 second Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 2 second Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 6 second Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Length of smaller train = 150 metre Speed of smaller train = 32.4 × (5/18) = 9 m/s Length of bigger train = 218 metres Speed of bigger train = 90 × (5/18) = 25 m/s Since, the smaller train is completely obscured by larger train, therefore, extra length of larger train = 218 – 150 = 68 metres Relative speed of trains ‘A’ and ‘B ‘= 9 + 25 = 34 m/s (Since, the trains are running in opposite direction) Required time = 68/34 = 2 second
