  • Question
  • Two trains running at 36 km/hr and 54 km/hr are running parallel in the opposite direction. If their lengths are 200m and 300m respectively. Then how much time will they take to cross each other?


  • Options
  • A. 20 sec
  • B. 25 sec
  • C. 30 sec
  • D. 35 sec

  • Correct Answer
  • 20 sec 

    Explanation

    Relative speed, when the trains are running in the opposite direction = Sum of the speed

    Therefore, Relative speed = 36 km/hr +72 km/hr = 90 km/hr
    Relative speed in m/sec = 90 km/hr x 5/18= 25 m/sec

    Distance covered = sum of the lengths of the train = 200 m+ 300 m = 500m
    Therefore, time taken = 500m / 25 m/sec = 20 sec
