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