    Question

    Two trains of length 420 metres and 320 metres are

    moving in opposite directions with speeds 15 m/s and 20 m/s. If initially they are 100 metres apart, then find the time taken by them to cross each other.
    A 20 seconds Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 22 seconds Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 24 seconds Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 26 seconds Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Relative speed = 15 + 20 = 35 m/s (When two objects are moving in opposite direction, so speeds are added)

    Therefore, required time = (420 + 320 + 100) ÷ 35 = (840 ÷ 35) = 24 seconds
