    Question

    Two trains having lengths of 370 m and 330 m are running at speeds of 90 km/h and 150 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.

    2

    B.

    1.2

    C.

    2.5

    D.

    0.7

    Correct option is D

    Given:

    Length of first train = 370 m

    Length of second train = 330 m

    Speed of first train = 90 km/h

    Speed of second train = 150 km/h

    Concept Used:

    Relative Speed=Speed of faster trainSpeed of slower train Time=Sum of train lengthsRelative speed\text{Relative Speed} = \text{Speed of faster train} - \text{Speed of slower train}\\ \ \\\text{Time} = \frac{\text{Sum of train lengths}}{\text{Relative speed}}

    Solution:

    Length of both train = 370 + 330 = 700  

    Both train, same direction that's why Difference = 150 - 90 = 60 km/hr 

    ​Total = Total Distance Total time×185\frac{\text{Total Distance }}{\text{Total time}}\times\frac{18}5 ​    

    70060×185=42sec\frac{700}{60}\times\frac{18}5 = 42 sec

    1 min = 60 sec
    42 sec = 4260=0.7min\frac{42}{60} = 0.7 min​​
