    Question

    The speeds of train 'A' and 'B' are 12 m/s and 18 m/s,

    respectively. Whereas the lengths of train 'A' and 'B' are in the ratio 5:7, respectively. If the trains take 6 seconds to cross each other while travelling in opposite directions, then find the length of train 'A'.
    A 75 metres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 90 metres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 100 metres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 120 metres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the length of trains 'A' and 'B' be '5x' metres and '7x' metres, respectively. ATQ; {5x + 7x}/{12 + 18} = 6 {12x/30} = 6 12x = 180
    or, x = 15
    So, length of train 'A' = 5x = 5 × 15 = 75 metres
