An express train covers a distance of 450 km in 5 hours. If a slower local train runs at half the speed of the express train, how much time will the local train take to cover 360 km?
A. 9 hours
B. 6 hours
C. 8 hours
D. 7 hours
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Speed of express train = 450 / 5 = 90 km/h. Speed of local train = 90 / 2 = 45 km/h. Time taken by local train = 360 / 45 = 8 hours.
Two express trains 200 meters and 150 meters long are moving in the same direction at 72 km/h and 54 km/h respectively. Find the time taken by the faster train to cross the slower train completely.
