    Train A of length 150 m is running at 54 km/h and Train

    B of length 200 m is running at 36 km/h in the opposite direction on parallel tracks. In how many seconds will they completely cross each other?
    A 17 secs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 22 secs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 14 secs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 33 secs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Convert speeds to m/s: 54 km/h = 54 × (5/18) = 15 m/s 36 km/h = 36 × (5/18) = 10 m/s Relative speed (opposite direction) = 15 + 10 = 25 m/s Total distance to be covered = sum of lengths = 150 + 200 = 350 m Time = Distance / Speed = 350 / 25 = 14 seconds.
