    Question

    A train moving at 90 km/h crosses a pole in 12 seconds.

    How much time will it take to cross another train, twice as long, coming from the opposite direction at the same speed?
    A 12 seconds Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 15 seconds Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 16 seconds Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 18 seconds Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Speed of Train A = 90 × 5/18 = 25 m/s
    Length of Train A = 25 × 12 = 300 m
    Length of Train B = 2 × 300 = 600 m
    Speed of Train B = 90 × 5/18 = 25 m/s
    Total length = 300 + 600 = 900 m
    Relative speed = 25 + 25 = 50 m/s
    Time = 900 / 50 = 18 seconds
