  • Question

  • A 260 m long train running at the speed of 120 km/hr crosses another train running in opposite direction at the speed of 80 km/hr in 9 sec. What is the length of the other train ?


  • Options
  • A. 240 mts
  • B. 270 mts
  • C. 260 mts
  • D. 250 mts

  • 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.
