    Question

    Train A, at 90 km/h, crosses a pole in 8 seconds. Find

    the time to cross a train which is 25% shorter than Train A, coming from the opposite direction at 36 km/h.
    A 8 seconds Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 9 seconds Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 10 seconds Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 11 seconds Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Speed of Train A = 90 × 5/18 = 25 m/s
    Length of Train A = 25 × 8 = 200 m
    Length of Train B = 0.75 × 200 = 150 m
    Speed of Train B = 36 × 5/18 = 10 m/s
    Total length = 200 + 150 = 350 m
    Relative speed = 25 + 10 = 35 m/s
    Time = 350 / 35 = 10 seconds
