Jammu Express is 1.2 km long and is running along the Kerala express at speed of 80km/hr. Kerala express is 2/3rd the length of Jammu express and runs at 60 km/hr. How much time will it take for Jammu express to overtake the Kerala express. |
12 Min 6 Min 3 Min 8 min |
6 Min |
Length of Kerala express = 800 m Speed = \(\frac{Distance }{Time }\) According to the question: (80 - 60) x \(\frac{5 }{18 }\) = \(\frac{\text{1200 + 800}}{Time }\) 20 x \(\frac{5 }{18 }\) = \(\frac{\text{2000}}{Time }\) \(\frac{50 }{9 }\) = \(\frac{\text{2000}}{Time }\) Time = \(\frac{\text{2000 x 9}}{50}\) Time = 360 seconds or 6 minutes |
