Q.

Two trains 85 m and 75 m long are running in same direction with speeds of 62 km/hr and 44 km/hr respectively. In what time will the first train cross the second train ?

View Answer

Correct choice: B

Explanation:

Given that, 1st train speed = 62 km/hr 2nd train speed = 44 km/hr Hence the relative speed of two trains is : 62-44 = 18 km/hr = 18×5/18 m/s = 5 m/s. There fore, the first train crosses the second train i.e (85+75)mts of distance with a speed of 5m/s in, time = di stance / speed = 85+755 = 32 sec.
