    Question

    The speeds of train 'A' and 'B' are 25 m/s and 15 m/s,

    respectively. Whereas the lengths of train 'A' and 'B' are in the ratio 3:2, respectively. If the trains take 8 seconds to cross each other while travelling in opposite directions, then find the length of train 'A'.
    A 150 metres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 192 metres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 180 metres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 210 metres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the length of trains 'A' and 'B' be '3x' metres and '2x' metres, respectively. ATQ; {3x + 2x}/{25 + 15} = 8
    {5x/40} = 8
    5x = 320
    or, x = 64 So, length of train 'A' = 3x = 3 × 64 = 192 metres
