Practicing Success
Two trains having lengths of 230 m and 240 m are 130 m apart. They start moving towards each other on parallel tracks, at speeds of 160 km/h and 200 km/h, respectively. In how much time will the trains cross each other? |
5 sec 6 sec 8 sec 7 sec |
6 sec |
Total crossing length = 230 + 270 + 130 = 600 m Relative speed ( when moves in opposite direction ) = 200 + 160 = 360 km /h 360 km/h = 360 × \(\frac{5 }{18 }\) = 100 m/sec Time = \(\frac{Distance }{Speed }\) = \(\frac{600 }{100 }\) = 6 sec So , trains takes 6 sec to cross each other . |
