Hi
Let the speed of the slower train be x m/sec
then, the speed of the faster train = 2x m/sec
Relative speed = (x+2x) m/sec = 3x m/sec
therefore, (100 +100)/8 = 3x
24x=200
x=25/3
so, the speed of the faster train is 50/3 m/sec
(50/3 x 18/5) km/hr
the speed of the faster train is 60 km/hr.
Hope this information is helpful.
Question : Two trains 150 m and 120 m long respectively moving from opposite directions cross each other in 10 seconds. If the speed of the second train is 43.2 km/hr, then the speed of the first train is:
Option 1: 54 km/hr
Option 2: 50 km/hr
Option 3: 52 km/hr
Option 4: 51 km/hr
Question : Two trains, each of length 125 metres, are running in parallel tracks in opposite directions. One train is running at a speed of 65 km/hr and they cross each other in 6 seconds. The speed of the other train is:
Option 1: 75 km/hr
Option 2: 85 km/hr
Option 3: 95 km/hr
Option 4: 105 km/hr
Question : An 800-metre-long train can pass a stationary pole completely in 72 seconds. A 1200 -metre-long train can also pass a stationary pole completely in 72 seconds. If both the trains are running in the same direction, then the faster train, coming from behind the slower train, can cross the slower train in how much time?
Option 1: 240 seconds
Option 2: 360 seconds
Option 3: 280 seconds
Option 4: 480 seconds
Question : Two trains whose lengths are 450 metres and 300 metres are moving toward each other at speeds of 162 km/hr and 108 km/hr respectively. If the distance between trains is 300 metres, then in how much time, these trains will cross each other?
Option 1: 14 seconds
Option 2: 35 seconds
Option 3: 28 seconds
Option 4: 21 seconds
Question : Two trains running in opposite directions on parallel tracks, at speeds of 42 km/hr and 57 km/hr, take 18 seconds to cross each other. If the length of one train is 270 m, then the length of the other train is:
Option 1: 250 m
Option 2: 225 m
Option 3: 230 m
Option 4: 242 m
