    Question

    Two trains of same length are running in parallel tracks

    in the same direction with speed 80 km/hr and 110 km/hr respectively. The latter completely crosses the former in 30 seconds. Find the length of each train (in m).
    A 150 m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 100 m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 125 m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 225 m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    When two trains cross each other, they cover distance equal to the sum of their lengths with relative speed.  Let's take length of each train = x So, total length of both trains = 2x Relative speed = (110 – 80) × (5/18) = 25/3 m/sec. ∴  Total length = Time × Relative speed  ⇒  2x = (30 × 25)/3 ⇒  x = 125 m
