    Question

    Two trains, 'A' and 'B', are heading towards each other

    from opposite ends of a 360-meter bridge. Train 'A' travels at a speed of 15 m/s, and train 'B' travels at a speed of 25 m/s. Calculate the distance between the point where the trains meet and the point where train 'A' starts entering the bridge.
    A 150 m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 135 m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 225 m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Cannot be determined Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Distance to be covered by the trains before meeting for the first time = 360 metres Relative speed of the two trains = 15 + 25 = 40 m/s So, time taken to meet = 360 ÷ 40 = 9 seconds Distance covered by train 'A' in 9 seconds = 15 X 9 = 135 metres
