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
