    Two trains travelling in the same direction at 40 km/h and 22 km/h cross each other completely in 1 minutes. If the length of the first train is 125 m
    Question

    Two trains travelling in the same direction at 40 km/h and 22 km/h cross each other completely in 1 minutes. If the length of the first train is 125 m, what is the length of the second train?

    A.

    175 m

    B.

    185 m

    C.

    150 m

    D.

    125 m

    Correct option is A

    Given:

    Speeds = 40km/h & 22 km/h
    Length of 1 train = 125m
    Time to pass one another = 1min = 60 seconds
    Formula Used:
    Relative speed for same direction = Difference of speeds
    Speed=DistanceTime\text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}​​
    Solution:
    Relative sped = 40 - 22 = 18km/h = 5m/s
    Now,
    Distance = 125 + L
    Time = 60 seconds
    Speed = 5m/s
    So,
    125 + L = 60 ×\times​ 5 = 300
    L = 300 - 125 = 175
    Hence, the length of the second train is 175m.
