Question

    Two trains of equal lengths take 30 seconds and 45 seconds respectively to cross a telegraph post. If the length of each train be 450 metres, in what time will they cross each other travelling in opposite direction?

    A 24 sec Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 20 sec Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 36 sec Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 16 sec Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 12 sec Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Speed of the first train = [450/30] m/sec = 15 m/sec Speed of the second train = [450/45] m/sec = 10 m/sec Speed = (15 + 10) m/sec = 25 m/sec Required time = (450 + 450)/25 sec = 36 sec
