      Question

      Train 'X' is 500 meters long and it crosses a pole in 25

      seconds and it also passes Train 'Y', which is moving in the opposite direction, in 20 seconds. If Train 'Y' is 2 times as long as Train 'X', then find the distance travelled by Train Y in 30 minutes.
      A 90 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 96 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 99 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 105 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E 110 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Speed of Train 'X' = 500 Γ· 25 = 20 m/s Length of Train 'Y' = 2 Γ— 500 = 1000 meters Combined length of Train 'X' and 'Y' = 500 + 1000 = 1500 meters Relative speed of train 'X' w.r.t train 'Y' when travelling towards each other = 1500 Γ· 20 = 75 m/s So, speed of Train 'Y' = 75 - 20 = 55 m/s Therefore, distance covered by Train Y in 30 minutes = 55 Γ— 30 Γ— 60 = 99,000 meters = 99 km
