A train travelling with a speed of 60 km/hr catches another train travelling in the same direction and then leaves it 120m behind in 18 seconds. The speed of the second train is

Correct Answer: 36 kmph

Explanation:

Given speed of the first train = 60 km/hr = 60 x 5/18 = 50/3 m/s


Let the speed of the second train = x m/s


Then, the difference in the speed is given by


50 3   -   x   =   120 18


=> x = 10 m/s


=> 10 x 18/5 = 36 km/hr
