    Two trains of same length are running on parallel tracks in the same direction at speeds of 56m/s and 46m/s. The faster train crosses the slower train
    Question

    Two trains of same length are running on parallel tracks in the same direction at speeds of 56m/s and 46m/s. The faster train crosses the slower train in 26sec. The length of each train is:

    A.

    100 m

    B.

    120 m

    C.

    140 m

    D.

    130 m

    Correct option is D

    Given:

    Speed of first train, Sf = 56 m/s
    Speed of second train, Ss = 46 m/s
    time taken to cross, Tc = 26 seconds

    Formula Used:

    Relative speed, Sr=  Sf -- Ss
    Distance covered = Sr × Tc
    distance covered D = 2 × length of one train.

    Solution:
    Sr = 56 − 46 = 10 m/s
    D = 10 × 26 = 260 m
    Length of each train = D ÷ 2 = 260 ÷ 2 = 130 m
