A 110 m long train is running at a speed of 60 km/h. How many seconds, does it take to cross an another train of length 170 m, which is standing on parallel track?

15.6 s
16.8 s
17.2 s
18 s

Correct Answer: 16.8 s

Explanation:

Speed = 60 km/h = 60 x (5/18) m/s = 50/3 m/s
Required time = (110 + 170) / (50/3) = (280 x 3)/50 = 16.8 s
