    Question

    A 200 m long train at the speed of 60 km/h crosses

    another train as fast as twice the speed of first and running in opposite direction in 10 sec. Find the length of the second train. 
    A 250 m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 275 m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 300 m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 350 m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Speed of first train = 60 km/h = 16.67 m/s Speed of second train = Twice the first = 33.33 m/s Relative speed (opposite direction) = 16.67 + 33.33 = 50 m/s Total time to cross = 10 sec Using the formula: Total Distance = Relative Speed × Time (200+L)=50×10 = 500 L= 300 meters Hence, the length of the second train is 300 meters.
