    Question

    Train 'A' having a speed of 20 m/s can cross a man in 6

    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 4.6 seconds Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 5.1 seconds Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 5.6 seconds Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 6.1 seconds Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Length of train 'A' = 20 × 6 = 120 metres
    Length of train 'B' = 120 + 40 = 160 metres
    Relative speed = 20 + 30 = 50 m/sec
    Required time = (120 + 160) ÷ 50 = 280 ÷ 50 = 5.6 seconds
