Two trains are moving in opposite directions at speeds of 60 km/h and 50 km/h. The length of one train is 430 m. The time taken by them to cross each other is 44 seconds. The length (in m) of the other train, correct to 2 decimal places, is:

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. 914.44.

Relative speed = 60 + 50 = 110 km/h

⇒ 110 × 5185\over18 = 2759275\over9 m/s

Distance covered in 44 s = 2759275\over9 × 44 = 1344.44 m

So, length of other train = 1344.44 − 430 = 914.44 m
