    Train ‘X’ is travelling with a speed of 90 km/hr

    and crosses a vertical pole in 6 seconds. Train ‘Y’ is 30 metres longer than ‘X’ and travelling with a speed 1/5th less than that of train 'X'. In how much time train Y can cross a 180 metres long platform?
    A 18 sec Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 22 sec Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 16 sec Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 20 sec Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Speed of train ‘X’ = 90 × (5/18) = 25 m/sec Length of train ‘X’ = 25 × 6 = 150 metres Therefore, speed of train ‘Y’ = (4/5) × 25 = 20 m/sec Length of train ‘Y’ = 150 + 30 = 180 metres Required time taken = (180 + 180)/20 = 18 seconds
