    Question

    Time is taken by two trains running in opposite

    directions to cross a man standing on the platform in 28 seconds and 18 seconds respectively. It took 24 seconds for the trains to cross each other. What is the ratio of their speeds?
    A 2:3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 3:2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 1:4 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 3:1 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 4:1 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the speed one train be x m/s and the speed of the second train be y m/s. Length of the first train = Speed × Time = 28x Length of second train = Speed × Time = 18y So, {(28x + 18y)/(x + y)} = 24 ⇒ 28x + 18y = 24x + 24y ⇒ 4x = 6y Therefore, x: y = 3:2
