- Question
Two trains are moving in opposite directions at 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 ?
Options- A. 42 sec
- B. 44 sec
- C. 46 sec
- D. 48 sec
- Correct Answer
- 48 sec
ExplanationRelative speed = 60 + 90 = 150 km/hr.
= 150 x 5/18 = 125/3 m/sec.
Distance covered = 1.10 + 0.9 = 2 km = 2000 m.
Required time = 2000 x 3/125 = 48 sec.

Correct Answer: 40 sec
Explanation:
Speed of train relative to jogger = 45 - 9 = 36 km/hr.
= 36 x 5/18 = 10 m/sec.
Distance to be covered = 260 + 140 = 400 m.
Time taken = 400/10 = 40 sec.
Correct Answer: 2/3 hrs
Explanation:
Let the original speed and time is S and T
then distance = S x T
Now the speed changes to 2/3S and T is T+20
As the distance is same
S x T = 2/3Sx(T+20)
solving this we get t = 40 minutes
=40/60 = 2/3 hour
Correct Answer: 35
Correct Answer: 8 sec
Correct Answer: 48
Correct Answer: 240 mts
Explanation:
Relative speed = 120 + 80 = 200 km/hr.
= 200 x 5/18 = 500/9 m/sec.
Let the length of the other train be L mts.
Then, (L + 260)/9 = 500/9 => L = 240 mts.
Correct Answer: 1300
Correct Answer: 150
Correct Answer: 45 km/hr
Correct Answer: 36 sec
Explanation:
Speed of train relative to man = 67 - 7 = 60 km/hr.
= 60 x 5/18 = 50/3 m/sec.
Time taken to pass the man = 600 x 3/50 = 36 sec.
