Question:

Two trains with lengths 126 m and 119 m respectively are moving towards each other. Their speeds are 12 m/s and 23 m/s, respectively. What will be the time needed by the trains to cross each other?

 

Options:

35 seconds

11 seconds

21 seconds

7 seconds

Correct Answer:

7 seconds

Explanation:

Speed = \(\frac{Distance }{Time }\)

12 + 23 = \(\frac{\text{126 + 119}}{Time }\)

Time =  \(\frac{\text{245}}{35 }\)

Time = 7 seconds
