      Question

      A train, 'A,' which is 180 meters long, takes 14 seconds to

      cross a 100-meter-long bridge. If the lengths of trains 'A' and 'B' are in a ratio of 6:5, and train 'B' travels at a speed that is 25% faster than train 'A,' how much time will train 'B' take to cross the same bridge?
      A 12 sec Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 8 sec Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 10 sec Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 16 sec Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the speed of 'A' be 'x' m/sec.

      ATQ,

      {(180 + 100) /x} = 14

      (280/x) = 14

      So, 'x' = 20

      So, speed of 'B' = 20 X 1.25 = 25 m/sec

      Length of train 'B' = 180 X (5/6) = 150 metres

      Required time = (150 + 100) /25 = 10 seconds
