The two trains of lengths 400 m, 600 m respectively, running at same directions. The faster train can cross the slower train in 180 sec, the speed of the slower train is 48 kmph. Then find the speed of faster train ?

68 kmph
52 kmph
76 kmph
50 kmph

Correct Answer: 68 kmph

Explanation:

Let the speed of the faster train be 'X' kmph,
Then their relative speed= X - 48 kmph
To cross slower train by faster train,
Distance need to be cover = (400 + 600)m = 1 km. and
Time required = 180 sec = 180/3600 hr = 1/20 hr.
Time = Distance/Speed
=> 1/20 = 1/(x-48)
X = 68 kmph
