Two trains of equal length are running on parallel lines in the same direction at 46 km/hr and 36 km/hr. The faster train passes the slower train in 36 seconds. The length of each train is:

Solution(By Examveda Team)

$$\eqalign{ & {\text{Let}}\,{\text{the}}\,{\text{length}}\,{\text{of}}\,{\text{each}}\,{\text{train}}\,{\text{be}}\,x\,{\text{metres}}. \cr & {\text{Then,}}\,{\text{distance}}\,{\text{covered}} = 2x\,{\text{metres}}. \cr & {\text{Relative}}\,{\text{speed}} \cr & = \left( {46 - 36} \right)\,{\text{km/hr}} \cr & = {10 \times \frac{5}{{18}}} \,{\text{m/sec}} \cr & = {\frac{{25}}{9}} \,{\text{m/sec}} \cr & \therefore \frac{{2x}}{{36}} = \frac{{25}}{9} \cr & \Rightarrow 2x = 100 \cr & \Rightarrow x = 50 \cr} $$
