Practicing Success
Two trains 121m and 99m in length, respectively, are running in opposite directions, one at a speed of 40 km/h and the other at a speed of 32 km/h. In what time will they be completely clear of each other from the moment they meet? |
11 sec 12 sec 13 sec 10 sec |
11 sec |
Total distance = 121 + 99 = 220 m Relative speed = 40 + 32 = 72 km/h 72 km/h = 72 × \(\frac{5}{18}\) = 20 m/sec Total time taken to corss each other = \(\frac{Distance}{Speed}\) = \(\frac{220}{20}\) = 11 sec |
