      Question

      Train 'A' is 300 meters long and crosses a pole in 15

      seconds. It completely crosses Train 'B' (opposite direction) in 10 seconds. If Train 'B' is twice as long as Train 'A', how much distance does Train 'B' cover in 20 minutes?
      A 72 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 84 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 80 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 88 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E 90 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Speed of Train 'A' = 300 ÷ 15 = 20 m/s Length of Train 'B' = 2 × 300 = 600 meters Combined length of Train 'A' and 'B' = 300 + 600 = 900 meters Relative speed of Train 'B' w.r.t Train 'A' = 900 ÷ 10 = 90 m/s So, speed of Train 'B' = 90 − 20 = 70 m/s = 70 × (18/5) = 252 km/h Distance covered by Train 'B' in 20 minutes = 252 × (20/60) = 84 km
