Practicing Success
Two trains cross a pole in 4 sec and 6 sec respectively. Running in same direction in how much time will they take to cross each other if the ratio of their speed is 7 : 9. |
40 Sec 41 Sec 45 sec 50 sec |
41 Sec |
Ratio of train 1 : train 2 Speed 7 : 9 Distance = Speed × Time train 1 takes 4 sec to cross a pole , Length of train 1 = 4 × 7R = 28R train 2 takes 6 sec to cross a pole , Similarly, legth of train 2 = 6× 9R = 54R Total distance = 82R meter As trains moves in same direction . so relative speed = (9 - 7 )R = 2R m/sec Time taken by trains to cross each other = \(\frac{82R}{2R}\) = 41 sec. |
