    Question

    Train A takes 90 seconds to cross a telegraph pole by

    travelling at 18 kmph speed. Train B has its length 60% more than A. It takes 40 seconds to cross a pole. Find the time(in seconds) taken by train B to overtake train A.      
    A 90 sec Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 110 sec Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 300 sec Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 210 sec Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the length of A be x m. Given,  ( x)/(18 × 5/18) = 90    ⇒ x = 450 Length of B = 450 + 60/100 × 450 = 450 + 270 = 720 m Speed of B = 720/40 = 18 m/s. ∴Required time = (450+720 )/(18-5) = 1170/13 = 90 seconds.
