Two commuter trains 130 meters and 120 meters long are tracking in opposite directions at speeds of 42 km/h and 48 km/h respectively. In what time will they clear each other?
A. 12 seconds
B. 11 seconds
C. 10 seconds
D. 9 seconds
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Total distance = 130 + 120 = 250 meters. Relative speed in opposite directions = 42 + 48 = 90 km/h = 90 * (5/18) = 25 m/s. Time required = 250 / 25 = 10 seconds.
