Two trains are running at 40 km/hr and 20 km/hr respectively in the same direction. Fast train completely passes a man sitting in the slower train in 5 seconds. What is the length of the fast train?

Correct Answer: 27 7⁄9 m

Explanation:

Relative speed = (40 - 20) km/hr = 20 x 5 m/sec = 50 m/sec.
18 9



∴ Length of faster train = 50 x 5 m = 250 m = 27 7 m.
