Two trains of length 130 m and 120 m are running on parallel lines in the same direction at a speed of 40 km/h and 50 km/h, respectively. In how much time will they pass each other?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. 90 sec.
Length of first train, T1 = 130 m
Speed of first train, S1 = 40 km/h
Length of second train, T2 = 120 m
Speed of second train, S2 = 50 km/h
Relative speed of trains moving in same direction = Difference between the speeds of the two trains
Trains are running in the same direction
Relative speed = Speed of second train - Speed of first train = 50 - 40 = 10 km/h
⇒ 10 × = m/sec
Time = = = 250/25/9 = 90 sec
