    Question

    Train 'A' having a speed of 20 m/s can cross a man in 7

    seconds. The length of train 'B' is 40 metres more than the length of 'A'. If the speed of 'B' is 30 m/sec and both trains are travelling towards each other, then find the time taken by them to cross each other.
    A 5.4 seconds Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 5.9 seconds Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 6.4 seconds Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 6.9 seconds Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 7.4 seconds Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Length of train 'A' = 20 × 7 = 140 metres
    Length of train 'B' = 140 + 40 = 180 metres
    Relative speed = 20 + 30 = 50 m/sec
    Required time = (140 + 180) ÷ 50 = 320 ÷ 50 = 6.4 seconds
