Question

    Train M, ‘x’ metres long crosses (x – 35) metres

    long platform in 25 seconds while train N having the length (x + 35) metres crosses the same platform in 30 seconds. If the speeds of both trains are same then find the value of ‘x’.
    A 50 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 105 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 70 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 80 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 68 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Total distance travelled by train M = (2x – 35) m Total distance travelled by train N = (x + 35 + x – 35) = 2x m According to question, => (2x – 35)/25 = 2x/30 => 60x – 1050 = 50x => 10x = 1050 => x = 105 m
