Correct option is A
Given:
Speed of train 1, v₁ = 50 km/h
Speed of train 2, v₂ = 110 km/h
Length of train 1, L₁ = 500 m
Time taken to cross each other, t = 12 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 = (50+110)×185=160×185m/s
Distance covered in 12 seconds:
Distance=Speed×Time=160×185×12=533.33m
L1+L2=533.33L2=533.33−500=33.33m
The length of the other train is 33.33 meters.
