Q.

Two trains start from same place at same time at right angles to each other. Their speeds are 36km/hr and 48km/hr respectively. After 30 seconds the distance between them will be ?

View Answer

Correct choice: D

Explanation:

Using pythagarous theorem, distance travelled by first train = 36x5/18x30 = 300m distance travelled by second train = 48x5/18x30 = 400m so distance between them =√( 90000 + 160000) = √250000 = 500mts.
