Two trains are moving in opposite directions at speeds of 80 km/h and 70 km/h. The length of one train is 180 m. The time taken by them to cross each other is 19 seconds. The length (in m) of the other train, correct to 2 decimal places, is:

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4  i.e. 611.66.

Relative speed = 80 + 70 = 150 km/h = 150 × 5185\over18 = 1253125\over3 m/s

Distance covered in 19 s = 1253125\over3 × 19 = 237532375\over3 m

Other train length = 237532375\over3 – 180 = 2375−54032375-540\over3 = 183531835\over3 = 611.66 m
