Two trains, 148 m and 152 m long, are running towards each other on parallel lines at 62 km/h and 46km/h, respectively. At what time will they be clear of each other from the moment they meet?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. 10 sec.

Total length = 148 m + 152 m = 300 m

Relative speed = 62 + 46 = 108 km/h

⇒ 108 × 5185\over18 = 30 m/sec

Time = 30030300\over30 = 10 sec
