Question

A 250-meter-long train crosses a 150-meter-long train coming from the opposite direction in 20 seconds. If the speed of the first train is 45 km/h, then find the speed of the second train.

A 24km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
B 27km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
C 32km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
D 18km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

When two trains moving in opposite directions cross each other, the sum of their lengths is their total distance. The length of the first train = 250 meters and length of the second train = 150 meter Total distance = 250+150 = 400 meter Time = 20second Then Total speed in km/h = 400/20 × 18/5 = 72 km/h Speed of First train = 45 km/h Speed of second train = 72-45 = 27 km/h
