    Question

    Two trains having lengths of 210 m and 440 m are running at speeds of 60 km/h and 90 km/h, respectively, in the same direction. The time taken (in minutes) by the faster train, coming from behind, to completely cross the other train is:

    A.

    1.3

    B.

    2.2

    C.

    3

    D.

    1.9

    Correct option is A

    Given:
    Length of first train = 210 m
    Length of second train = 440 m
    Speed of slower train = 60 km/h
    Speed of faster train = 90 km/h
    Both trains are running in the same direction
    Formula Used:

    Relative Speed (same direction) = Difference of speeds
    Time = Total distance / Relative speed
    Solution:
    Total distance to be covered = 210 + 440 = 650 m 
    Relative speed = 90 − 60 = 30 km/h 
    Convert km/h into m/s = 30×518=25330 \times \frac{5}{18} = \frac{25}{3}​ m/s
    Time taken to cross completely =650÷(253)=650×325=78650 \div \left(\frac{25}{3}\right) = \frac{650 \times 3}{25} = 78​seconds
    Convert seconds into minutes=7860\frac{ 78}{ 60} ​= 1.3 minutes
