Two trains are moving in opposite directions @ 60 km/hr and 90 km/hr. Their lengths are 1.10 km and 0.9 km respectively. The time taken by the slower train to cross the faster train in seconds is:

Difficulty: Medium

Correct Answer: 48 s

Explanation:

Given Data

  • Speeds = 60 km/hr and 90 km/hr (opposite directions)
  • Lengths = 1.10 km and 0.90 km

Step 1: Relative speed & distance
vrel = 60 + 90 = 150 km/hrDistance to cross = 1.10 + 0.90 = 2.00 km


Step 2: Time
t (hours) = 2.00 ÷ 150 = 1/75 ht (seconds) = (1/75) × 3600 = 48 s


Final Answer
Time taken = 48 s.
