    Question

    A train of length 180 m is running at a speed of 54

    km/h. It passes another train of length 120 m running in the opposite direction, and they completely cross each other in 12 seconds. What is the speed of the second train?
    A 42 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 23 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 36 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 47 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Total distance to be covered = sum of lengths = 180 + 120 = 300 m Time = 12 s Relative speed (in m/s) = distance / time = 300 / 12 = 25 m/s Convert to km/h: 25 × (18/5) = 90 km/h Let speed of second train = v km/h. Since they move in opposite directions: 54 + v = 90 v = 90 − 54 = 36 km/h
