    Question

    Two trains тАШT5тАЩ and тАШU5тАЩ of lengths 800 metres

    and 400 metres respectively are travelling towards each other. Ratio of speed of тАШT5тАЩ to тАШU5тАЩ is 5:3. If the trains take 60 seconds to cross each other from the time they meet, then find the average of speeds (in km/h) of trains тАШT5тАЩ and тАШU5тАЩ.
    A 18 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 21 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 24 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 36 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 45 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the speeds be 5y and 3y m/s respectively.
    Relative speed = 5y + 3y = 8y m/s
    ATQ,
    8y ├Ч 60 = 800 + 400
    тЗТ 480y = 1200
    тЗТ y = 2.5
    Therefore, required average = (5y + 3y) ├╖ 2 = 4y
    = 4 ├Ч 2.5 = 10 m/s = 10 ├Ч (18/5) = 36 km/h
