      Length of Madhubani Express is (x + 40) m, and it can cross

      a platform of length (x – 40) m in 40 seconds with a speed of 24 m/s. Find the time taken by Madhubani Express to cross another train of same length which is running at a speed of 28 m/s in the opposite direction towards it.

      E 30 sec Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Speed of Madhubani Express = [(x + 40) + (x – 40)]/40 m/s

      According to question,

      [(x + 40) + (x – 40)]/40 = 24

      2x = 960, x = 960/2 = 480

      So, length of Madhubani Express = 480 + 40 = 520 m

      Therefore, required time = (520 + 520)/ (24 + 28) = 1040/52 = 20 seconds
