Two trains are moving in opposite directions @ 60 km/hr and 90 km/hr. Their lengths are 1.10 km and 0.9 km respectively. The time taken by the slower train to cross the faster train in seconds is:
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
C
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{Relative}}\,{\text{speed}} = \left( {60 + 90} \right)\,{\text{km/hr}} \cr
& = {150 \times \frac{5}{{18}}} \,{\text{m/sec}} \cr
& = {\frac{{125}}{3}} \,{\text{m/sec}} \cr
& {\text{Distance}}\,{\text{covered}} \cr
& = \left( {1.10 + 0.9} \right)\,km \cr
& = 2\,km \cr
& = \,2000\,m \cr
& {\text{Required}}\,{\text{time}} \cr
& = {2000 \times \frac{3}{{125}}} \,{\text{sec}} \cr
& = 48\,sec \cr} $$
