Practicing Success
Train A crosses train B completely in 90 seconds, with the trains running in opposite directions. The lengths of the trains A and B are 900 metres and 1800 metres. respectively. If the speed of train A is 45 km/h, then in how much time can train B cross a stationary pole? |
$\frac{830}{7}$ seconds $\frac{810}{7}$ seconds $\frac{720}{7}$ seconds $\frac{650}{7}$ seconds |
$\frac{720}{7}$ seconds |
Let speed of train B = S km/h Relative speed ( when both moves in same direction ) = ( S + 45 ) km/h Distance = ( 900 + 1800 ) = 2700 m We know , Speed = \(\frac{Distnace}{Time}\) = \(\frac{2700}{90}\) = 30 m/sec 30 m/sec = 30 × \(\frac{18}{5}\) km/h = 108 km/h ( S + 45 ) km/h= 108 km/h S = 63 km/h = \(\frac{35}{2}\) m/sec Time taken by train B to cross pole = \(\frac{1800×2 }{35}\) = \(\frac{720 }{7}\) sec |
