Correct option is D
Given:
Speed of train 1, v₁ = 110 km/h
Speed of train 2, v₂ = 140 km/h
Length of train 1, L₁ = 140 m
Time taken to cross each other, t = 5 seconds
Length of train 2, L₂ = ?
Formula Used:
Relative speed when trains move in opposite directions: v₁ + v₂
Distance covered when crossing each other = L₁ + L₂
Time=SpeedDistance
Convert speeds from km/h to m/s:
v(m/s)=v(km/h)×185
Solution:
Relative speed = (110+140)×185=250×185m/s
Distance covered in 5 seconds:
Distance=Speed×Time=250×185×5=347.2222m
L1+L2=347.222L2=347.22−140=207.22m
The length of the other train is 207.22 meters.
