Two trains each having a length of 160 meters moving in opposite direction crossed each other in 9 seconds. If one train crossed a 200-metre-long platform in 18 seconds,then the ratio of their speeds is: |
2 : 3 9 : 7 5 : 8 3 : 4 |
9 : 7 |
Train take 18 seconds to cross 200 m long platform , So Speed of train = \(\frac{200 + 160 }{18}\) = \(\frac{360 }{18}\) = 20 m/sec Let Speed of another train = A km/h Relative speed when they moves in opposite direction = ( 20 + A ) km/h Distance covered = 160 + 160 = 320 m Time = 9 sec Speed = \(\frac{320 }{9}\) ( 20 + A ) = \(\frac{320 }{9}\) 180 + 9A = 320 A = \(\frac{140 }{9}\) Ratio of their speed is , 20 : \(\frac{140 }{9}\) = 9 : 7 |
