Two trains 110 meters and 90 meters long are running in opposite directions at speeds of 36 km/h and 54 km/h respectively. In what time will they pass each other completely?
A. 10 seconds
B. 6 seconds
C. 12 seconds
D. 8 seconds
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Total distance = 110 + 90 = 200 meters. Relative speed in opposite directions = 36 + 54 = 90 km/h = 90 * (5/18) = 25 m/s. Time taken = 200 / 25 = 8 seconds.
A train 125 meters long passes a running man in 10 seconds when both move in the same direction. If the speed of the man is 5 km/h, find the speed of the train.
Explanation:
Relative speed = 125 / 10 = 12.5 m/s = (12.5) * (18/5) = 45 km/h. In the same direction, Relative Speed = Speed of train - Speed of man => 45 = Speed of train - 5 => Speed of train = 50 km/h.
