    Question

    Two express trails of length 320 m and 380 m started moving from Ahmedabad to Delhi at the same time. Their speeds are 84 km/h and 41 km/h respectively. In how many seconds will the faster train cross the slower train? 

    A.

    50 sec

    B.

    120 sec

    C.

    60 sec

    D.

    45 sec

    Correct option is C

    Given:

    Length of the faster train (Train 1) = 320 m

    Length of the slower train (Train 2) = 380 m

    Speed of the faster train = 84 km/h

    Speed of the slower train = 41 km/h

    Time = ?

    Formula Used:

    time=DistanceRelative speedtime= \frac{Distance}{Relative\ speed}

    Solution:

    Faster train: 84 km/h = 84×10003600\frac{84\times1000}{3600} = 23.33 m/s

    ​Slower train: 41km/h = 41×10003600\frac{41\times1000}{3600} = 11.39 m/s

    ​Relative Speed = 23.33m/s - 11.39 m/s = 11.94m/s

    total distance covered ,

    320 m + 380m = 700m 

    Time = 700m11.94m/s\frac{700m}{11.94m/s}

    Time = 58.64 seconds

    Rounding to the nearest second, the time is approximately 60 seconds.

    thus, correct option is (c)
