    Question

    Two trains are running in opposite direction with the same speed. If the length of each train is 160 metres and they cross each other in 32 seconds, then what is the speed of each train?

    A.

    72 km/hr

    B.

    36 km/hr

    C.

    18 km/hr

    D.

    45 km/hr

    Correct option is C

    Given:
    - Length of each train = 160 meters
    - Time taken to cross each other = 32 seconds
    - Speed of both trains is the same.
    Formula Used:
    Speed = Distance / Time
    Solution:
    Since both trains are running in opposite directions, the total distance covered is the sum of their lengths.
    Total distance = 160 + 160 = 320 meters.
    Speed of both trains combined = 320 / 32 = 10 m/s.
    Now, since the speed of both trains is the same, the speed of each train is:
    Speed of each train = 10 / 2 = 5 m/s.
    Speed in km/h = 5 * 18/5 = 18 km/h.​
