A train 100 meters long running at 90 km/h crosses another train 150 meters long running at 54 km/h in the same direction. How much time do they take to cross each other?
A. 30 seconds
B. 20 seconds
C. 25 seconds
D. 35 seconds
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Total distance = 100 + 150 = 250 meters. Relative speed in same direction = 90 - 54 = 36 km/h = 36 * (5/18) = 10 m/s. Time taken = 250 / 10 = 25 seconds.
Explanation:
Time taken to cross the bridge alone = 15 - 9 = 6 seconds. Speed of train = 150 / 6 = 25 m/s. Length of train = Speed * Time to cross sign post = 25 * 9 = 225 meters.
A motorboat registers a speed of 15 km/h in still water. It takes 4 hours to cover a certain distance upstream. If the stream velocity is 3 km/h, find the distance covered.
